I'm shaking in my boots. I have no health issues; however I know that if I continue down this road of morbid obesity, my days on this earth will be cut short, and I have 5 reasons to live a long life (my children). #VSG'SNOTREADY4ME

I was in your shaking boots just a few short weeks ago. You will do great! I was so scared I started tearing up in the operating room. What felt like only moments later, I was awake and recovery in the hospital was a breeze! I had some morphine when I first woke up but spend the night in the hospital with no additional pain meds and didn't have to take any when I arrived home.

You will do awesome!!! Best of luck to ya on your journey!

BizzyB thank you so very much that encourages me so much. If you don't mind my asking how much did you weight when you went in for surgery.

You've got this! I was sleeved on Monday and feel great.

@@Anquinette Reese - Welcome to the forums and nice to meet you.

You will do awesome!!!! I get sleeved on June 30,2015, so I think I'm a day ahead of you. The nerves haven't kicked in yet. I just ready to be on the other side of it now as a post-op. I do have health issue so that's why I'm doing it. This forum and watching youtube and researching have really helped take the edge off in getting me prepared. I'm sure you have done the same so I know you are more that ready. So sit back and enjoy the ride, LOL!!! You have done everything you needed to do.

BizzyB thank you so very much that encourages me so much. If you don't mind my asking how much did you weight when you went in for surgery.

I was 345 when I went into surgery... I have lost 20lbs since the surgery and 46 since beginning my 2 week all liquid diet pre op. I think I have hit the post op stall... I haven't lost any this week but I am also struggling getting in my Water and Protein minimums. I am hoping once I can make that happen, that I can get the scales going away.

Thank you all for the many words of encouragement. I'm due at the hospital in 3:15mins. I can not sleep. Hope I sleep good during the procedure.

Hey it's 3 hours later, I'm sure you'll be just fine. I haven't been sleeved yet. I'm in the 90 day supervised diet phase. They're looking at a September date. However, you were reading and researching....so I'm sure you know the basics, remember to walk, take small sips, and take your pain meds if needed. I hope all goes well with your surgery. Oh! Congrats to you!
