Hello all and Iā€™m so glad I stumbled upon this website while searching for Protein supplements!

I finally have my sleeve scheduled for October the 19th!! This Wednesday!! I so super excited and ready to begin this new chapter in my life!

Iā€™m sure many people here have encountered a lot of resistance and negativity from others regarding this choice, which makes having places like this helpful and encouraging. I appreciate seeing the positivity and sharing among everyone and am looking forward to having this forum to come back to during my new journey!!

Hello Rebecca! Good luck with your surgery! Best decision I made. Donā€™t have that funeral. Youā€™ll see that food again and have a much healthier relationship with it in the future.

You got this!

One recommendation, make a list of why you want or need to do this. From the big serious stuff to the silly small stuff (everything from being able to get up a flight of stairs without wanting to die, get off blood pressure/dm meds to being able to tie your shoes). Keep it to look back on during the difficult parts post op, and keep it to be able to track your progress on NSV as well.

Best of luck!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if theĀ random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
