It was good I was sore and took it slow but I did my best to sip my water and walk as much as I could that's what really helped me.

Trust me i was super nervous but thank God I have an amazing fiance and support system. I personally prayed alot but everyone has there own way of calming down. The actual day of my surgery I just did my best to relax and I was quiet most of the morning and just took alot of deep breaths. Not gonna lie I cried a bit before going into the operating room but the nurses and Dr were amazing with me. Another fun fact I had never had surgery so I felt extra scared but thank God everything came out great.

In 2015, I had my gallbladder remove and for that surgery I was not nervous at all!!!!!
But for the sleeve, I am so nervous! Extremely excited because I know is the best for me, but my best friend (like sister) she is doesn’t want me to do it, and always tell me about something wrong with the anesthesia, or bacterias.... and she try to scare me about the surgery.

My best advice for that is just don't listen to the negative. I will be honest I did not tell to many people because I did not want negative comments or anyone to talk me out of this amazing change in my life. The few people I did tell were amazingly supportive. Just keep thinking of your health and all the amazing things you will be able to do after. Like I said I am only 17 day post op but I don't regret what I did i know my health is the most important thing.

Another thing people sometimes make you think twice because they are scared and don't understand the whole process. The more information they get the easier it will be for them to be supportive.

I told my mother, brother and my fiancé. I told my friend when I started the process, but she doesn’t know that I will have my surgery, because she was so negative so I told her that I will not do it... am afraid of her reaction after the surgery

If she is your real friend she will be fine with it. Don't focus on her focus on yourself and on the people who are supportive. Above all you are what is important it sounds selfish I know but sometimes it has to be like that especially if its something so positive for you.

If its for your well being than you do what you have to, when i told my people how it will benefit my health they jumped on board. Im still waiting for my consult meeting where my doc will explain the different wls

Thank you!!! Definitely she will be how happy and healthy I am going to be!

Ok so... I went today for the last appointment before my surgery...
My pre-op diet will be one week before the surgery low carbs.
1 day before surgery liquid diet... but I hear the liquid diet is supposed to be 1 or 2 weeks before surg, so why is different with me?

I only had to do 1 day of liquids before as well. 1 week would have been torture for me back than lol You'll find a lot of doctors do things differently so don't get to concerned about it. And that goes for the post op diet.

Each surgeon is different but my surgeon based the preop diet on bmi, it can be 1-4 weeks or longer. If your bmi is 40 and under, he only has you do 1 week.
Congrats on your approval!
