Well, I am less than 24-hours out from my GS surgery. I am first up on Monday (8/21) which means I arrive at the hospital at 6 am and in theory will have my procedure at 730 am. I have to acknowledge that reading these forums has been invaluable. I am not sure mentally I would have been able to get from here to there without this resource. Every time I have a question or a doubt, I jump to the forums. And the knowledge here and the encouragement from so many posters has usually calmed my nerves. That said, I do have just a little bit of pre-op jitters but mostly feel strong that this is the best thing for me. My recent high weight is around 327, I am down pre-op to around 312.5 ... and the pre-op diet (3 shakes a day and a small meal with protein and a veggie) hasn't been too difficult for me. Anyhow, I am hoping all will go well. I'll check back in and post when I can. I am sure the next few days will be challenging but I am hoping for the best.

I feel the same exact way as you do as I am preparing for my surgery tomorrow morning at 10am. Beyond nervous but we will do great!! Ready for this next chapter in my life!!

Wow. So close in time. Talk about knowing what the other person is thinking. Well, we will both do fine. I wish you the very best on your journey. I'll post an update on the other side and we can check in. Good luck and best wishes!

Thank you so much and same to you!!! I'll update as soon as I can! This time tomorrow we will finally be sleeved!

Good luck tomorrow!!

I, too, have my surgery scheduled for tomorrow morning. I check in at 6:45AM. My surgery is scheduled for 10AM. Crazy how time has flown by!. I started this journey at 225lbs. I currently weigh 210lbs. I am excited to see what the sleeve can do for my weight loss goals! I wish all of you the best of luck tomorrow. I will say a special prayer for all of us. I hope that everyone has a quick recovery and you you all receive the best support. I am not looking forward to the emotional rollercoaster that the hormones will put us through, but I know that I am not in this alone. Thanks for your support!

Hello Jenique. I am sure you'll do great. We now have three of us on for tomorrow morning on this thread. So it will be interesting to see how we all do post-op. Good luck and best wishes for tomorrow!

Good luck to everyone getting sleeved tomorrow! We will do great and I'm looking forward to sharing my experience and hearing from everyone else! Let this new chapter begin!! God bless all of us!!! We are all in this together:)

Good luck tomorrow everyone. I am also getting sleeved tomorrow at 2pm. Really nervous but so ready to start my new life. No matter how hard this is going to be it is all too g to be worth it. Can't wait to chase my son around again.

Make it four :-)
I check-in at 5:30, surgery around 7 a.m. I have been telling my husband all weekend that I'm not sure I can do this. I'm so scared. But I know I will go through with it because it is what I need to do. I've tried everything else and failed. I eat pretty healthy but I eat WAY too much and have a hard time stopping. I think the Sleeve will be a good fit for me.
I was on a 5 day liquid diet and 1 small high protein meal. The last two days have been liquid only. Won't lie. I'm a little hungry.

Good luck ladies! We can do this! If anyone is interested in being buddies on here/email/text let me know. I'd love to talk with someone along the way who has started the journey at the same time as me. [emoji173]️[emoji173]️

Hi ladies, I'm number 5 [emoji56]! I check in at 5:15 am and my surgery is at 7:15 am. I am in the bed but on my iPad in the forums. I'm anxious to say the least. It is 12:25 am but I just can't sleep. Anywho, prayers and blessings on your respective surgeries. I will check in once I am able. The new chapter in our lives awaits us.

Good luck everyone! I am having the sleeve today as well; scheduled for 7:30 am. I am 50 and I am around 280 pounds.
