Hello,

Got the call and insurance company has approved my surgery.

I will for sure be getting sleeved one week from today.

Now I am scared out of my mind.

Well, its very normal to be a bit freaked out when that call comes ... it makes it a reality that this can truly happen. But focus on the enormous health benefits this surgery will yield and how much better you will feel with less weight. That is what got me through the 2 weeks pre op, the night before op, and now 3-days post op. It is a challenging and at times scary journey but I believe will be well worth it in the end. Read some of the success stores on this Board. That was able sustain me as well. Good luck to you!

I had to do a three week liver shrink diet.
I am two weeks in and one more week to go.
I am excited, scared, nervous, and all that.
I just want to feel good again.

Im 3 days out too. Not too concerned about my weight at the moment but at the fact that I need to heal properly. The only thing I struggled with is the pain. Had to be re-admitted yesterday and was advised after cat scan all is well then released with a stronger med than Tylenol!!! Also trying to find a system to get all of the liquids and vitamins in daily!
