Hi all, I just got my BIPAP machine last week and still not very used to it. But i was told to bring it to surgery on Thursday. Will they make me wear it?? I mean if i take it off, will they come and force me to keep it on???

Thank you!!

I have surgery on Thursday and i know exactly how you feel!!! You are not alone. Hang in there!!

Thank you! i have to stay in the hospital for 2 nights and im just worried bout it thank you!

How did it go? Im having surgery on Thursday and im worried about if they will make me wear my Bipap during my hospital stay. I haven't gotten used to it at all, and im worried!

Thanks everyone! i am making a list as i type heehee. thanks for sharing!

My surgery is on the 23rd. Ive researched from lap band to the sleeve and decided the sleeve was for me. Now that im approved and gone through all the hurdles, i am getting cold feet. My hubby and parents are supportive but seems scared for me too. I guess im second guessing this. I know in my heart, i need to do this to get healthy, and to get my life back. And i guess just the "What if's" are getting to me. I know everything has a risk, but i really pray that i don't regret this after finally going through with this. Anyone feel the same way??

awww thanks. how are you?? im drinking a crappy Protein drink as i type hope your surgery goes great as well. Hang in there too. And no doubt we will both be fine

Thank you so much for all your advise and help i so appreciate it!

Thank you so much! i am getting soooooo nervous, but i am so eager to do this .thank you for your post. It has helped so much.I will also look up your older posts Thanks for the encouragement and i CANNOT WAIT to be on the LOSERS BENCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So exciting!!! We are so close to having it the same time!! What state are you in?? Good luck and i pray that all our surgeries come out great with NO problems i hope i don't get nausea , I HATE throwing up!! Best of luck and keep me up to date with you!!!! CONGRATS! OUr new life is about to begin!

Congrats!! how are you feeling?? Any discomfort??Please share your experience! I will be joining you on the losers bench next week!!! CONGRATS

don't be so hard on yourself. First of all your still doing the pre-op with no date set yet. That s great! I'm pre-op and failed the first day. But tomorrow is a new day to try again. Don't beat yourself over this. Try again and keep your eye on the future

Hello! I am having my surgery on the 23 with the NEW Program. My doctor is Dr. Braverman. I am very excited but also very nervous. Can you tell me how your sugery went? Your post op? Did you have staples?? ANy info would be appreciated!! Thank you!

I So know how you feel!!!! ive lost like 7 lbs so far on the pre op and im thinking maybe i can just lose my weight with this diet...but then i realize if i haven't really lost my weight by now on my own, i don't think i really can do it on my own. I have your exact thoughts!! we should support each other .I know this entire forum is awesome and supports everyone. But since we are so close in our surgery dates we should be buddies! GOod luck to you! and please keep in touch!

You aren't along. We can be scared together I can let you know how it goes for me. But i know its different for everyone. Keep your eye on the prize...a healthier you!

Thank you Irene!!! I will find a good book to keep my mind occupied. And i think i will go shopping heehee. Thanks for the uplifting and encouraging words

THANK YOU

Thank you Mina!

Yes definatley! I will be your cheerleader!! Good luck and we CAN do this!

Thank you so much. I know you are right. Sorry correction: i never had the lap band. I initially wanted the lap band until i learned about the sleeve but yes i HOPE to do all those things that you are able to i want that so bad. I am so happy that you are so successful. And i hope i will be on the other side encouraging newbies. Thank you for this
