You are just in the first few hours of post op. You may not be feeling great and may have concerns or second thoughts. The fear is normal. Don't let yourself get stressed out. Its a process. Accept you are going to have a few rough days, followed by weeks of learning. Soon.. you will see results and be glad to made the decision.

Prayers for good health :)

Blessings.

Thanks for all the sweet words and encouragement! I will be going home in a few hours. I must say I don't think it could have went any smoother than it did. I was blessed with an AMAZING staff! Everyone of them was exceptional. So guess who's getting a huge box of cupcakes!!!! Thanks for all the prayer and thoughts! I am just taking it day by day and keeping my stress level to a minimum. I have no regrets. I am staying in my learning phase until me and Miss sleeve become one lol! Blessing to you all!

@@time for june I felt like I had done soooo much research and read so many post there really wasn't anything that caught me off guard. I would just say try to remain calm and go with the process. I worried myself sick about gas and shoulder pain and I ended up not having either. I made a post earlier about my glade plug in for my hospital room, I know it sounds really simple but just having my room smell of apple cinnamon was more like home to me.I also found some soothing sounds/music On my IPad and I played it most of the time. All the staff made remarks on how lovely my room felt. Just try to make your self comfortable. Walk, use a binder, and most of all be kind to your staff And they will be kind to you.

On the plus side my anesthesiologist is a cutie! Of course he is who else would you want staring at your big ol belly lol! Thank you all in advance!

After a hip replacement I developed a theory that after major surgery they send in the cutest nurse to remove your catheter. Does she know about "shrinkage"?!! :o

It's true! Every anesthesiologist I've ever had was drop dead gorgeous and had seen me looking my absolute worst. I think it's a rule that in order to be an anesthesiologist you HAVE TO be good looking

      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?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
