Friday Nov 8th is my big day. Im so scared is my first surgery. Please keep me in your prayers! :-)

Prayers! You will do great! Be positive and happy! Don't look at the posts that are negative, about problems. It will only scare you! Trust your surgeon.

Hi Yoly. I am also having surgery Nov 8. Everything is going to be good. I understand being nervous for your first surgery but I'm sure your surgeon is well qualified. Leave it to him/her to take good care of you. So let's join the rest of the sleevers here and start our new journey! Good luck and keep us posted on your progress.

Thank u JR yayyy same day. Keep us posted on how u do as well

Linda, you are so right. I often say I'm glad I didn't stumble upon this forum until after my surgery. While the positive posts would've helped, I'm sure the negative posts would've scare me too. It will be 1 yr since my sleeve & I've had nothing but positive experiences. So Yoly, trust your doctors, follow their guidelines & you'll do well. Good luck, sending prayers & positivity your way!!!!!

Once you've had the surgery and start seeing results you will have the same response most of us have, "Why didn't I do this sooner?". I love the new me. It does get easier, just make sure you're prepared mentally. Your food life will be very different. No more large portions, you'll love it. Food still tastes great you just don't eat as much to be satisfied.

I am so excited!! Tomorrow I start my 2 week pre-op diet!!!!

Hi Yoly. How are you feeling? I'm feeling good, minor pain and gas. Let me know how everything went when you get a chance. -Jennifer

Good luck Linda. I hope the pre-op isn't too bad for you. Keep your eye on the prize and you'll be good. Keep us posted on your surgery and recovery.

Good Morning. Im sore. No gas pains but alot of burps and hiccups. Today they will remove the drainage.

Glad to hear you're doing well Yoly. Now let's get this weight loss started!!!

At the beginning of my Journey (April) I was 330. A week before my surgery I was 312 (Nov 1st). Today I am down 298. I havent touched the 200s since 2004
