September 21st. Just got insurance approval today.

One week from today. Almost there. I'm down 30 lbs since August 1st and started to have the "maybe I could do this without altering my body permanently..." thoughts, but I realize that I need to lose 100 lbs, not just 30, and it needs to be forever.

I'm 2 days out and I've had those same thoughts and yes you are correct. The success now feels good, but there is more to go.

Mine is in 30 minutes. So nervous

Good luck!

My surgery date is September 23rd. I'm so glad I found this forum!

My surgery date is scheduled for the 28th I’m so excited. Who has to do the a liquid diet? I don’t have to only one day prior, I was told.

I has mine last week on Thursday. I'm surprised at how good I feel! I was nervous about getting enough water but it hasn't been an issue. Pain is manageable.

The only thing I have trouble with sometimes is finding a comfortable position to sleep. Sometimes it's not an issue and other times -- like tonight -- I'm stuck awake because no matter which way I lay, it's uncomfortable.

Good morning,

How do you feel? I am an OG gastric bypass patient. If you have questions do not hesitate to ask.

I'm gowned up and have my iv in. Just waiting for some meds and then it's sleeve time.

For everyone that has surgery today like I do, best of luck! Keep us posted.

Good luck to us. im here now too, about to go into surgery room. Waiting for my nurse to take my things. yikes I will see you all on the other side LOL!

I’m finally back home, so uncomfortable, I bought my very own compression boots to use at home. But somehow today my arms, they hurt so much. Perhaps I’ve been using them so much to prop myself up lol. What I like the best, is that I’m not hungry at all.
