Hi Everyone!

I’m new here and have sleeve surgery set for May 20. Anyone else in May?

Thanks!

My family and friends have such great concerns regarding the risks of this surgery! I'm so tired of hearing it! ?

Is anyone else in the same boat? and how do you deal with it?

I need help?

Yes! I haven’t told very many people at all because the ones I did tell that I thought would be supportive. Have had nothing but negative things to say. Is discouraging to say the least but I have been leaning on the couple of very supportive friends and family members. I am in 2 other groups besides this one and those have all helped. I have a friend that started the same time as me. She’s going for surgery the 16th so we have been through all of this together.

Yes it is very discouraging! but little do they know is how determined I am! I just wish they realise how much I need their support! Yes I too have a few family members and friends who actually support me and are happy for me but the ones who are negative really do weigh me down (one of the negatives is my mum lol) I just change the subject now and don't allow them to make any comments about the surgery anymore lol. I'm so happy that I've joined this forum as it's given me such Insight and knowledge the more I learn the more I build confidence towards the due date which is May 16th. It's nice to see we're not alone.

May 19th and ready, but the real test for me will be the liver shrinking diet!, but hey, 2 weeks is nothing right?……

I’m getting my surgery tomorrow and I had a major freak out last night. I know I can do this. But this is a lot more emotionally hard than I thought it would be.

Good luck with your surgery today. You got this!

Today is the last day of my liquid diet because TOMORROW IS MY SURGERY!!!!! Woohoo!!!!! I'm so so excited. I can't believe it's here already. I'm not even a little nervous. I'm just ready. I have to check in at 7am. My surgery is at 10am. I should be coming home in the afternoon on Wednesday, as long as everything is good.

Gastric bypass is set for May 16th. Hopefully that won’t get delayed. I’ve been having some stomach issues, and my primary doctor is wary about approving me for surgery until we find out what’s going on. I can’t wait!

I'm also due on May 16th with gastric bypass + hiatal hernia repair, hope all goes well with you please keep me updated on how you go post surgery.

Best wishes.
