We have very similar starting stats, but I have one less kid! I was sleeved on 7/10/17 and was VERY nervous in the weeks leading up to surgery. What got me through was always focusing on the next step and being very prepared. I made all kinds of lists and wrote out all of my goals. Just over two months out I am down 52.4 since the start of my two week pre op diet and I could not be more pleased. Just keep in mind that the anxiety, discomfort, and pain will be temporary, but the sleeve is a tool that will last a life time. You will be so happy you did it!

I'm on my way today! I am at the very beginning of my journey and just lost my 1st pound!! I'm going to celebrate EVERY SINGLE ONE....and you guys are stuck with me! LOL

I love Pt. Bonita! The Headlands are just so beautiful.

I emailed them 3 times left them 4 messages as well spoke to staff today and they told me it would be sent over immediately that was at 9 am - sigh [emoji17]

Congrats. I was the same way. The closer the date got, the worse it was. I tried to stay busy keeping the house clean and working and planting flowers and anything to not think about it.

62 oz so far today! Will get last 2 oz in by bed time!

Nerves are normal. Focus on the healthy reasons you are doing this. Have faith in your medical team. Keep checking in here. We're all with you. Good luck! Sent from my SM-G920V using BariatricPal mobile app

My nut said to me today everyone is different and we all mess up and have stalls. Just get up brush yourself off and move on you will be a success. I had my yr check up down 82 pounds and 67% of my body weight is gone. She was so pleased and so am I. Best decision I made.

I prayed a lot. I really never felt nervous b/c I had prayed so much and just felt Gods presence throughout my journey. Everything went so smooth with my journey leading up to it. I just knew it was a God thing. It sounds like the same thing for you. You are going to do great. I pray that you have a fast and easy recovery.

The sickening part is if you paid cash for the exact same procedure and same length of stay it would've only been between $20,000 - $30,000. That's how much hospitals inflate the bills to make an insane amount. I know cause I paid cash and my surgeon was the best in Houston. So seriously...it's a shame they even charge you that $1,000.... This is why the cost of insurance is so out of hand.. I know..I work in the industry.
