Well tomorrow is the big day! My surgery is scheduled at 2pm - I have to be there at noon - I was hoping for an earlier surgery time so I didn't have to deal with NOTHING to drink all morning long! Today has been full of nerves and a little frustration due to not being able to eat anything - liquids only!

I know this is the best decision I'll make - but that doesn't help my mind freak out - I'm kinda expecting the worse and hoping for the best!!

Best of luck to you and a speedy recovery! I was a nervous wreck before mine, didn't help that I was in a foreign country either. It will be over before you know it and you will be on the road to losing!

Yea!!!! Me too! I have to be at the hospital at 5:30 am...surgery at 7...said I was first patient. My nerves are shot and I'm scared but overall I'm excited!!???? had to do only 1 week liquids...I'm over it...just sat here while my family had pizza!! Needless to say, I have support to some degree, but I had to move back home for personal reasons. I guess no matter how old you are, your parents will always be your parents and their house, their rules!! Good luck, it's going to be fine!! Prayers for a speedy recovery, Dee

GOOD LUCK!!!! We will all be thinking of you. Our group of September sleevers!

I am one week away, well and 1 day.

September 9th.

I was just thinking about the day of surgery. How will I feel? Will I be first? Will I cry? I am so anxious.

Please, please keep us posted. Prayers with you!

Surgery went well! Only had to stay over 1 night, had a great experience overall. I'm a little sore but not as sore as I was with the sleeve. How is everything going?

My surgery went great! I stayed 1 night in the hospital and was in no pain! I had no nausea/pain - my surgery was at 2:30 - I was in my room by 4:30 and up walking by 7pm - I was honestly surprised! I had no issues - so far so good!! I'm home now on a clear liquid diet until Wednesday - then I go on full liquids which I'm super excited about it! The only thing I have noticed is I get tired easily - but I sip, walk, rest, and repeat! It's helped to have my husband home with me this week as well - My kiddos have also made sure I had everything I need!

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
