I go in Oct 7, for my surgery. Getting the Gastric by pass. Started this ride in Jan and now finally the procedure. I have been experiencing a little anxiety as I get closer to the day but this is what I've been waiting for.

Good luck, Steven. I had RNY the end of April, have gone from 55 BMI to 39, lost 100#, 4XL to XL. I was surprised the weight loss was so rapid, otherwise no real shocks, it has gone well. The diabetes is 85% better, the high blood pressure gone, the urge incontinence 90% better, edema gone, etc.... great results. You will do well!

Best of luck to you. The anxiety is sure understandable.

I can remember being highly anxious during prior surgeries when getting stuff repaired....hernias, ankle, etc. I'll be following a week behind you on the wls. A little bit nervous now, too.

That's great progress @VLD

@StevenL... Good luck on your journey!!!

Thanks Guys, Just a really big change.

Good luck with your WLS next week!

Steve

Today is the Day! No looking in the rear view mirror. Thanks for the encouragement...Next time I'm on will be new beginnings

Rock on @@StevenL

well I did it. The dr got in and said that he had to do the sleeve due to my intestines being short to reach. Still kind of loopy but getting stronger staying hydrated is a chore and sore but other than that all seems well. Thanks for the encouragement!

Outstanding !!!!!!!

I hope all is well, boss.

My surgeon advised me of the same probability.......sleeve would be what he'd most likely have to go to after encountering shorter plumbing that would make a sleeve dangerous. I decided beforehand to target for a sleeve from the start.

I'm excited.

I hope you are adjusting to things and getting your nourishment.
