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!

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.

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!

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

      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
