Tomorrow is my surgery day. I'm feeling a lot. I'm so excited. I'm so ready to change my life. But I'm also terrified of complications, infection, death... and the usual stuff.

My husband is taking me. And we have a two year old son who is our heartbeat. He's a major reason I'm doing this. I want to be so healthy for him. so I can play harder and lead by example.

I have battled obesity since 2nd grade. In the midst of really healthy parents and siblings. I've been obese. I have PCOS, uncontrolled type two diabetes, and high blood pressure is creeping in... Oh I'm 24. I know this Vsg is my tool. It's all I have left. I've done and tried everything. Of course I have emotional connection to food, but, I do feel like my body has never told me "no" before and it finally will. I never feel full and keep eating so I know this tool is right for me.

I'm having surgery at Emory John's Creek in Alpharetta Ga with Dr. Khan. Please send good vibes or pray for the surgery and my healing and the surgeons hands.

HW: 274

CW: 264

GW: 160 or just... Healthy.

I can do this I can do this I can do this. I backed out once.

Today is all liquids. It's the only pre op diet I have. I just don't want any complications.

Thanks for reading. Here we go. I don't think I'll stop thinking about it today.

Congratulations on this journey you are about to go on! I'm almost 8 months post op and have been so happy with my sleeve. Zero regrets! My HW was 260, SW 235 and CW 166. I know it's a little scary but you'll be fine. Just follow your doctors orders and use common sense. And just remember, it's a tool not a miracle. Prayers for you tomorrow and speedy healing!!

I go in on the 4th. I have Dr. Stetler at Emory Midtown, but the surgery is at St. Joseph's. I am on my 5th day of pre-op liquid and my mind is mush. I am also having incredibly anxiety today.

It sounds like we have a lot in common. I'm a little older, but I have a 16 month and a loving wife at home that are my inspiration.

I don't think there are any words that are going to relieve our worries, but we are in great hands. I wish you the absolute best and and easy recovery. You've got this.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
