RJ'S/beginning

I'm planning on not visiting the kitchen for the entire 2 weeks I have to drink the liquid before surgery..My husband has agreed.....can you drink as much water as you want when you are doing this part of the pre-op... TY

I was approved a week ago today.....just waiting for the call to start the 2 week Fluid part........I think this has been one of the longest weeks of my life... Lets get this show on the road eh!

You have to remember that when you have this done it is major surgery. With any surgery you have to allow your body to heal. Listen to your body it will tell you how tired you are or sore you are and follow your surgeons advice. Better to be safe then sorry. I am waiting for my surgery as well and have been told by my team that for six weeks after I have this proceedure I have to be very careful not to hurt myself by doing too much. I think I will be bored senseless! Then again what is six weeks compared to a whole new life..........

Hi; I'm a mom and a grand mother. I dream of becoming a famous writer and so that is what I do with my day. I write short stories and poetry. I am married with two children. One of each, millionaires family..... I applied for the VSG three years ago and was just given the okay last friday the 24 of August/12. I have been heavy most of my life and now health issues are causing me to slow down. A bad back and cronic pain due to a fall 6 years ago. I started to change some habits several months ago when I went to my seminar for the sleeve. So I have been trying to put things into practice before I even have the surgery. I am not perfect by any means. But I really want to be a success at this amazing tool. Having others to talk to or to even listen to their stories will be a huge encouragement to me. Thank you for this opportunity to be here! Jane
