Bless your heart! I'm sorry to hear about your breast cancer. I know you want your WLS but the most important thing is to get yourself cancer free! You will be in my thoughts and prayers.
I too was worried about the procedure and it was nothing to worry about! I had mine last Friday and I went shopping after the procedure...all day! I was a little groggy but my mom and I had fun shopping! No worries! Lay back relax and enjoy the sleep! :-)
I'm getting more obessed by the day! I'm a teacher, so I'm doing this over my Christmas break....I have until January 7 to recover and then it's back to the classroom! I think my pre-op diet should start December 13 but I will meet with surgeron prior that week for my pre-op appointment. I did my EGD last Friday morning and it was no big deal...I was nervous about that but I got through it with no problem!

It has hit me at times but I don't think it really has hit me yet! It is a crazy good thing we have decided to do for ourselves! I know most of us are givers so this is a big step to do something for ourselves! :-) good luck!
My husband doesn't want me to have the surgery either but knows that when I put my mind to something, I'm committed! Both my mom and grandma will be my support system along w a few friends that have been sleeved and my VST family! I love this website! I wish you well Wednesday with your surgery! I'm getting sleeve Dec. 20!!
My surgery is scheduled for December 20. My insurance approved me in a week! I have to undergo another sleep study this week (because my first study identified me w severe sleep apnea), also have my Egd scheduled for this Friday, pre op appt. And then surgery. This month will hopefully go by fast!!!
I have a surgery date and I am going to do my sleep study tomorrow night. I also am required to do blood work, EKG, Edg ( i think that is the correct acronym), pre op class, and pre op appt. My surgery date is December 20.
We have a clothing consignment shop nearby and I take all my old but still in good conniption stuff there! I am going to be sleeved in December and I am looking forward to getting rid of all my big girl clothes! Cannot wait, plus I'll get cash back from them too that I can spend on new clothes!!!
Glad to hear you had such a positive experience! Any advice for preparing for this? My surgery date is December 20. I'm very excited but really nervous at the same time!
My surgery is set for December 20 and I am feeling the same emotions! I'm going to use the holidays as recovery time too! I hope I'm ready to go back to school (work) January 7!!!
