Surgery date March 16th, who's with me? ????

I'm nervous, excited, so many emotions! I'm 25, married, and have two little girls that are 4 and 2 1/2 months old. This will be my first surgery ever, I've never been put under for anything so It will be an experience! This has been a very private event for me so having others who are going through the same thing, at the same time would be awesome.

I'm ready to do work! ????????

    I certainly know how anxious and scared you must be. I had sleeve on Feb 25th and have done very well. I am still on puréed food but will advance to soft in 10 more days. I will say a prayer for all

  • Had my surgery today and so far so good! I feel good! Been up walking and drinking my G2. Hopefully will go home tomorrow!!

  • Mine is the 16th also. I am having a lap band to sleeve revision. I'm so ready!

I'm about to leave myself for the hospital. I've spent the morning cleaning just trying to keep myself busy and off the fact that I'm a bit hungry and would love a cup of tea. Best of Luck to you!

Hopefully you are out of surgery and doing well!

I didn't even think about my surgery time mattering.. but now I want it to be first thing in the morning so I don't have to be super hungry or thirsty!

Thanks for thinking of me @ladycook9713...I had to do only liquids the night before and nothing to eat at midnight prior to surgery, so ull probably want an early time if u can! :) bur I didn't have any say in that matter lol I have 20 minutes until I go back! Im all prayed up!

I have been in recovery for I want to say 5 hours, and besides a dry mouth and some Soreness I am doing awesome! my happy button may be doing the trick lol I can walk and move just fine, mouth feels like the Desert lol but they have these sponge tipped sticks that I can stick in water and wet my mouth....one thing I'm hating is constant dozing off, I know it will wear off but it makes conversation very irritating and hard....anyway sorry it took so long just wanted to give an update! :) sorry for misspelling, it's the anesthesia I promise haha
