Thanks for the inquiries. The hospital can have some stop by to sit with him a bit, but he doesnt want the help. Today I had to have cortisone shots in my neck and one of the nurses gad the sleeve done in july. She came out and sat with my son ans spoke with him. He felt much better after hearing her story and seeing how good she looked.

Thank you for the well wishes. Waiting on the hosp to call with my surgery time for tomorrow.

Every surgeon is different. My surgery will be about a half hour but I'll be in the hospital over night.

To all you moms with your fears about this surgery taking you from your kids, the only thing I can say is (hopefully it doesn't come off harsh, I find I have a blunt way about me so disclaimer: no offense meant) you have an exponentially higher chance of dying prematurely due to obesity related diseases than you do from having this surgery. This surgery is helping extend the time you have with your kids, not rob you of it.

I was just about to write what Mouse said, but she beat me to it. NOT having the surgery is what I'd be worried more about.

Everything went fabulous. Surgery was at 0830, i remember being wheeled to the OR but not getting there. Then I remember someone telling me to scooch onto the Operating Table. Then it was 230 pm and I was scooching to walk. Started walking about 3pm and have mede like 30 laps around this floor. I am starving, since they are only giving me ice chips. And my son sits beside me eating an italian hero hot fries and a pepsi.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
