Sitting and waiting for my IV! Good luck everyone today!

Was you as nervous as you anticipated or did the vein champagne take care of that?

Whoop, Whoop - congratulations and well done you guys - you done it! Hope you are comfortable xx

Well I did it! The slight pain I feel is bc of hernia repair. No nausea Everything went smooth I can’t believe I did it!

Awwww - well done, Lizrios. I'm so pleased you have come through the surgery and it has gone smoothly for you. I know you were really quite worried - you did it! xx

Great job, Lizrios!! I had HH repair too and the gas pain around that area is the area that “hurts the most”. Just woke up for more lab work… they’re going to have me up for more tests & starting full liquid already today! Good luck everyone, we all got this!!

I can’t believe we did it! Happy for you!

You words and postings really reassured me. Thank you so much! Blessings and much favor to you.

Congratulations!!!

I had my surgery yesterday too! I had hernia repair as well, and that’s the only thing that is tender. I’ve been walking better than I was before surgery. I was scared and made myself think it was worse than what it was. I’m doing good! I’m not hungry at all.

Me too ughhh

I had my surgery yesterday. I’m in very little pain. I worried for nothing. I thought it would be worse than what it is. You will be fine!

My surgery is Wednesday and I’m getting scared. Were you scared? I’m still going to do it, but just wondered if I’m the only one feeling like this.

I have been vacillating for almost two years about having weight loss surgery. I’m still SO anxious! My surgery is next Wednesday, the 14th. I am on my 1000 calorie/mostly protein shake pre-surgery diet. I am already missing food. I am looking forward to not having hunger pains and pangs.
I wish everyone a successful surgery, uneventful recovery and continuing success!

I had the surgery at 69 and that worried me. I will be 70 in August. Was not a factor in how I Ifeel now that I had the surgery.

Hello everyone,

My surgery is on June 16. I'm more excited than anything else. I started the journey at 328 lbs and one week in the preop diet (two protein shakes, 4 oz of lean meat and unlimited non-starchy veggies per day) I am at 315 lbs. You all are an inspiration and I love reading through everyone's posts. Keep up the good work everyone!

You’ve got this. I originally thought this surgery was barbaric and here I had it done yesterday. It went well. It wasn’t bad at all. It was like I blinked my eyes and it was done and I was in my room. I did it for health reasons. I take 4-5 insulin shots a day. I have a CPAP macine and so many other things. I gotta tell you girl I’m in no pain, have no hunger, and walking with no assistance. It’s unbelievable! Do I still think it’s barbaric—-NO WAY!
