New Gal In Town!.!.!.

Hey!

My name is Amber & I am a newbie. I am currently scheduled for surgery on Thursday. I'm nervous, scared, excited & happy... I started this journey 2 years ago @ 268lbs. I chickened out because I wasn't ready. I had no clue how to exercise, had no clue about nutrition & wasn't ready for the divorce from food. I lost 60lbs on my own but of course put 20 back on... I've got a dominant fat gene & anymore it's a struggle to lose weight. This surgery will be another tool to put in my toolbox. I'm weighing in at 220 going into this surgery. Sooooo scared of liver not being small enough, dying, losing too much weight, deficiencies, aweeee lawdy lawdy.... I'm sure all will be fine but a nervous wreck!

    Hi ellend! My surgery was yesterday. I did pretty well. The anesthsia made me sick but besides that everything was ok. Walk! If that's all u do, walk! You will feel soooo much better! You will be in

  • I had surgery on a Weds morning and went home Thursday early afternoon. But I may have a high pain tolerance because I did not use any pain meds either. I was way more comfortable at home!

Whoa they're letting you leave day after surgery? I was there from Monday - Friday (I was scheduled to leave Thursday though)

Wow, well good for you. I don't think I would have been comfortable leaving that soon but then again I'm a baby

Glad to see the surgery went well...
