Good luck!!!!!!! Will be over before you know it. Just remember to walk all you can, speeds healing and help you get rid of the gas they pump in you. Pain should be very minimal.

Congrats to those who got their dates, hang in there fit those on the pre-op diet and let's do this for this having surgery soon!

I had my pre-op appt Wednesday, blood work, ekg and final weigh-in. I was of by 1 kg so I basically made goal.

I have surgery in 5 hrs. I tried to sleep but no dice. I had to take a double shower with Descutan an antimicrobial soap and will take one more before I leave to the hospital. Also had to give myself a heparin shot, the needle was nothing but the injection burned a little. Packed my bag, journaled and now just trying to sleep and wait. Oh and I will take 5 prophylactic antibiotics before I go too. I'll only stay one night and visiting hrs are dumb from 3pm-7pm. So I'll be alone majority of the time.

Not really afraid, just anxious to get it over with so I can start healing. I'm hoping pain won't be too bad as they don't give an Rx for pain meds, it's Tylenol after discharge home. Got all that, lol! Sorry it's so long...

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
