I have my psych evaluation left to submit to get my pre-certification for surgery. I’m nervous but they seem to think it will all go through without a hitch.
Me, too! My psych appointment is the 19th--I had to wait to schedule it for Winter Break to start. I'm getting really antsy, lol We (probably) have a strike coming in January, so I'm hoping to have my surgery scheduled during that. Part of me wants it done ASAP, this year, part of me wants to be strategic...of course, it's anyone's guess what my surgeon's calendar looks like 🤷

Mine is tomorrow at 0745 too! I'm nervous but excited. I'm nearly packed (need CPAP packed in morning) and my laptop then I'm ready. Been off work a few days and I'm already bored lol. I'm taking the full month so I can enjoy holidays with my family.

How do you feel physically? My anxiety keeps triggering headaches.

My surgery is same day surgery center- after few hours, up walking, able to sip and hold down Fluid, you are discharged. I live in Las Vegas. People from all over the country come to this practice to get this procedure done. They call it fast track. In 5 days get all testing done Psychological is done on line, ULTRASOUND IF NEEDED, EKG, STRESS TEST, EGD, BLOOD WORK, NUTRITION CONSULT, VGS SURGERY, IV THERAPY NEXT DAY then return home. The surgeons have been here for years, they have perfected the process, the patients absolutely get door to door service. Hotel, private car service to and from all appointments. 😁 Of course I live here so I completed my process over few weeks.
Good Luck tomorrow , remember go into procedure with happy positive thoughts 😃

Day 1 post op, finally sitting in another chair. Day 0 I was in and out of consciousness all day. Surgery was 0745, spent 2 hours in recovery before being moved to my room. I remember waking up in recovery moaning loudly. The nurse was there and administered 1st round of pain meds. The pain was unbelievable. Nothing hurt worse than just laying in the same position in bed for 24 hours. I'm hoping today is better. I'm supposed to walk and I'm feeling so sleepy.

I feel you! For some reason that's still not clear to my fuzzy head, I was in surgery for 2hrs but recovery for a little over 5hrs. Don't remember too much until I got to my room. It's getting a little better each day but this is definitely the toughest part!! Hang in there!

Day 2 less than 24 hours post op, sleep most of the day in my own bed😁 up every 2 hours to walk. Slowly drinking fluids was able to get 40oz in... some residual pain in upper abdomen not as bad as Michael Tyson punch I was feeling yesterday. Took 1 oxy last evening @4pm and 1 this morning @ 7am, still with some nausea but it passes pretty quickly. Vick’s vapor rub helps with that. I went into clinic this am for scheduled IV therapy feel much better. I’m thinking I will survive 😃 my hubby is calling me a trooper. Happy and positive thoughts to all!

It isn’t that bad... it is worth the discomfort for the long term goals. I had a double hernia repair likely reason for the increased pain. Think positive

I think it's different for everyone. I asked if this was like my c-sections and was told no, but I think those surgeries were much easier. I feel my clinic in under played this by a lot. I am strong and have great support so I'll be ok. If you have sort in place then you'll be fine as well! It's ok to be nervous. I was even to the last minute. They encouraged me to take Xanax the morning of to help with nerves. (It's perscribed to me)Good luck! Snapchat-985608564.jpeg

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
