Hi. I’m new to this app/forum. I’m having a gastric sleeve tomorrow (May 3) in Syracuse, NY. I was originally scheduled in Dec, but COVID stopped that. Now that the day is really here I’m starting to get nervous about it. The only ones I have told are my 2 kids, my sister, 2 close friends at work & of course my boss.

I am having my surgery tomorrow, too! Only my husband knows that I am having surgery. I told my adult children that I am having a hernia repaired—they would not understand why I elected to have weightloss surgery. My 28 year old daughter is a fitness and health nut, and she thinks all I need to do is eat better and exercise (like I haven’t been doing that for the past 10 years). I will tell them the truth post-surgery—I just need to do this for me without their judgement! I am both excited and nervous! I am more nervous about what life will be like post-surgery more than I am for the surgery! In any case—we’ve got this! Good Luck tomorrow—I will send you positive thoughts from my pre-op room in TN! 🥰

Good luck to you too!! My 22yr old daughter was the same way, but she now understands & is very supportive. I’ll be 59 next month & single, so I’m lucky to have her on my side. I was started on a diet by my pediatrician when I was 11yrs old & have struggled also with the weight yo-yo made worse by my thyroid & hysterectomy. Thanks for responding! Nice to know I’m not alone. ☺️

Hey all, My date is coming up here soon at the end of May. But I’m wondering, I was told I had to get a CPap By one of the ladies that worked at the hospital and be on it for six weeks before surgery. But then another lady from the hospital called and scheduled me for surgery. I don’t have a CPAP, my insurance wouldn’t approve it and the Doctor Who originally wrote the order was too lazy to fix the mistake. So I’m curious will they really turn me away on my surgery day just because I don’t have a CPAP? Really I never needed one in the first place. Have any of you heard of someone being turned away because they don’t have a CPAP with them?

      It has hit me today, as I sit in my chair at work that I don't have my belly sticking out to where it would hit the desk. Oh and I can cross my legs more comfortably. It amazes me just how much I have loss in inches vs actual pounds, I have lost 24 lbs all together. But I believe in inches all over about 3 inches. I am noticing more energy and have pep to my step. My skin is a lot clearer. My watch band is shorter by 3 notches. the little things are what I am noticing. When I bend over I don't feel out of breath or I am going to fall over ( weeble wobble). 
      I am having a hard time with my sweet tooth, it is very hard to not want to get some ice cream or chocolate. Candy I can do without. I have no craving really for that, just chocolate and ice cream. I have gone as far as taking Popsicle and putting them in my mixer with almond milk and making like ice cream with that/ sometimes I have added un-flavored protein powder. 
      I feel better everyday. The energy is great to have with having younger kids and being able to have the energy to keep up. 😃

      If anyone has any advice on how to make your stomach feel better after you eat something you shouldn't have or at too fast, I would GREATLY appreciate it!! It's painful on both sides of my abdomen (like to the point I'm doubled over and using a hot water bottle in addition to medicine) and I'm really nauseous (the thought or smell of food is 🤢).
