I am so nervous and excited. I started this journey on January 5th so everything has been so quick. I am so ready for this change!! Anyone else having surgery that day? I would like to find a buddy to exchange numbers with.

I also was sleeved on Friday, and have had trouble getting fluids down. I have noticed that maybe my sips,are just too big. When I take sips barely wetting my mouth, it doesnt hurt as much. Today I just came home and its starting to feel a little better. Hope you feel better soon. Sent from my SM-N920V using BariatricPal mobile app

What was your starting weight? If you don't mind me asking...

I am scheduled to have my sleeve surgery in June, I have been going back and forth between excitement and fear. Today was just another "reminder" of why I NEED this surgery so bad. I was taking my niece into the gym for her softball practice, it was a downhill walk, then up 2 flights of steps into the gym. For the first time in my life, I got extrememly winded and felt like I was going to pass out. It was the scariest feeling ever (it didn't help that the gym was EXTREMELY HOT) This never evwn happened to me when I weighed 310 lbs! (I now weigh 276) I know now that I need to be more scared of NOT having sugery than having it.

Ps: I'm super scared but excited but scared... it's like a wild rollercoaster!! Lol I'm sched'd for may 31st! [emoji322]

I GOT CLEARED FOR SURGERRRRRRYYYYYYYYY!!! MY INSURANCE APPROVED ME!!! I'M SOOOO HAPPY!!!! I'M READY!!!! So my insurance company called me by mistake thinking I was the doctors office and left the information for me being approved for surgery April 17th! I called them back and gave them my doctor's info. So I called my doctor's office and it's true but 4/17 might not be my surgery date. It might be sooner or later. The doctor's office just has to give the insurance company a date. So just in case this is the date of my surgery I will be starting my preop diet on 4/2!!!!

I had surgery on Sept 26, 2014. My weight was 238 and the lowest i got to was 157. I am currently averaging 160-163...I think its mostly Water weight, but not matter what type of weight it maybe, it psychologically distributing. Other than that, life has been great. Still pretty much control my eating and exercise. I never really made it to my goal of 153, but I was close enough. Now my goal is just to maintain. I feel great, very active and not afraid to leave the house. This was the best decision done .
