I'm all set to go!

I just finished my last appointment before I get to schedule my surgery today! I'm so excited and I have even lost some weight on my own. I have lived my whole life being over weight. I have had insulin resistance and PCOS for nearly half of my life. I thought I'd be more nervous after making this decision, but to be honest, I wish I could have the surgery as soon as tomorrow! I am definitely ready to simply feel healthy for the first time in my life! I hope to work very hard and truly use this surgery as my tool for success! I already have a gym membership in place and I've taken time off from school to really focus on myself. I can't wait to start my journey and join everyone in their success stories. I'm truly blessed to have this opportunity to change my life. Wish me luck! ????

I'm definitely looking forward to not taking my meds too! Lol I definitely plan to post on these forums throughout my journey. This has been so helpful!

Good luck!! I will be having my Sleeve surgery sometime in the next 4-6 weeks. Just have to do my nutrition and mental health evals and then pre-op testing and I am good to go!!

Hi MickeyMax15, Fjinally got all set up for myu operstion for 9/18/15. Now on full liquids until then. Have a massive headache but working through it. One though: my doctor perscribed me a anti nausea pill to take the night before my surgery. It last for three days. Doctor highly recommened it due to nausea that relates to the anesthesia given durign the time of surgery. Also no more insulin after the operation. YEAH. will gradualy be taken off other meds depending on my AC1 levels. Keep me posted on yur progress.

That's awesome that you won't be on your meds after surgery! I have finished all my appointments and the only thing left for me to do is meet with the surgeon to set up my surgery date! Good luck with your surgery! ????
