Hi everyone! so my surgery is Monday, April 15 - i am 5'3.5 with date of consult weight of 201. i am currently one week 2 of a two week liquid diet. my weight today is 193. Im so nervous....

I'm at Toronto Western hospital waiting to be prepped for surgery. So nervous as I has a little one at home with ASD who needs me. He is a big part of why I'm doing this RNY. I need to be healthy and active to be able to meet his needs. Pray for me for a complication free surgery and recovery!

Hang in there! My son is also ASD (although he is 29 now!). I know how hard it is to leave them and undertake a huge life change, but you have to think about long term health and keep a big picture view! Hope things go smoothly for you!

Sending prayers your way for a safe and easy surgery.

Surgery is Thursday. Nerves are really starting to kick in.

Pompeii Surgical saved my life. Dr. Saucedo saved my life. I'm so proud of you! You will LOVE them there! I would go back to visit if plane tickets weren't so darn expensive! I wanted to bring each translator and nurse back home with me. Their hospitality was so warm and inviting, I felt like I was with family. I had surgery there June 22, 2018 and I'd do it all over again!

Oh yeah, make sure you get one of those delightful Popsicle they offer. Heaven on a stick.

Ok, surgery tomorrow and why is it so hard to receive a fax? My cardiologist has now faxed clearance 3 times omg!! I am very happy I took off this whole week so I could drive and get the stupid paper in hand and deliver it to the Bariatrics Dr omg! They told me to make sure I take a copy just to make sure things go ok tomorrow... really omg:( I have tried to make sure this is all done and yet the leave me stressing for tomorrow..sigh. Come on 5:30am so I can get this started and over!!

I’m having to be on liquids for two weeks!!!

I had that issue! It took two notes in my chart and 2 faxes to finally get it there!

It’s the day before surgery for me. I’ve been battling a sore throat and cough the last week, which has left me exhausted.
I spent most of yesterday wondering if I’m doing the right thing having surgery. And worried about still being sick before I even got to surgery. Felt quite overwhelmed and wondered why the hell I’m doing this.
I’ve been madly searching on Instagram for inspiration. I’m nervous I’m not ready for this. Worried about getting through liquid diet still and nervous about knowing what to do after.
Yet still know it’s what I need to be doing.

I hope everyone is doing really well. Take care.
