Hi!! When is your date?.Mine is tomorrow and my emotions are all over the place. I'm excited that I am going to be starting my life over but I get nervous especially thinking about what's the worst that can happen. But I know God's got me. I just gotta stay prayed up you know. But don't be nervous. I just keep telling myself the pros outweigh the con's and we will be ok. Good luck to you

I understand your fear. I think we must all go through the fear and doubt of the unknown and if we are doing the right thing. I'm scheduled for surgery sept 22nd at 9:45 am. I'm rethinking it also but am going to continue pushing through because I hear to keep your eye on the prize! Keep thinking positive and we will all be on the other side together helping others with their preop questions and fears. Best of luck.

Fear is normal. I was sleeved in april and was petrified. I was so nervous and on bridge of a panic attack. But it was ok. After surgery your going to have good and bad days but when they say it gets easier, trust me it does. Just relax and have faith everything will be ok. In a few months your gonna be thrilled u went thru with it. Good luck everyone

@@Carlagrant, make sure you find the threads that are specifically for people getting sleeved in October (I am too!) so you can share your stuff with people who are in the same place as you. It makes it easier, I think.

How do you make the weight lose ticker??? and I understand what you are going through. this has been a roller coaster of emotions so far fro me and I am only a week into it. I believe my surgery will be in Mid December, so i will keep going through the emotions till that day and I am sure afterwards as well...

I was scared to death up until the point that the IV drip started taking effect. Its normal. I do feel regret once in a while, but then I step on a scale or climb a flight of stairs and then asked myself why didnt I do this years ago.

What are the regrets you have sometimes? Just that you had it done or that you have to change your entire lifestyle? That's my fear and my boyfriends too

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.
