Will be wishing each day gets better.

I've read do a few days of preop

You might ask him why HE was not listening enough to get your age correct. Hum

I'm 60 and have rarely in my life put myself first or ever considered spending this kind of money on myself. I do have other issues which helped getting approved but we have an outrageous deductible so it still has been a big deal. I worked all of the six months of stress waiting for approval to loose weight and did loose 40+. If I was doing this I wanted to be in the best shape for it. My family were more worried about my health than supportive but they know me type A once I made up my mind I didn't look back. I had my surgery the 19 and the worst was when my husband got me laughing I truly had tears of pain while laughing even more. Do it while you are young, enjoy your life without going down hill health wise. Worry minor, dream of success and go for it. I try to only be supportive on websites, I understand there always be questions and concerns as there should be but I decided with my eyes open and know I could loose the weight again but steroids would put it back on over and over again. Do it for you!! Best of health ahead.

Since I am "post surgery" now (how fun is that to say) and it's only been a couple of days. I'm not even back to surgery morning weight I feel like it maybe strange for me to say but I do understand! I've been thin before, I've even had people give me the EYE in the grocery store on both occasions when I've had a cart of healthy food and when I've had a cart of pure taste. All and I mean all, people have their own issues with food, I have met a few rare people that do not and they are weird. I'm sure I will again have more of those feelings of I'll eat it so fast no one will know, or I'll hide it for later. ( I know eating fast won't be an issue) it hurts like hell on wheels! Getting the weigh off quickly probably is hard on the brain

Omg you are 118 who gives a crap what they may or may not think, celebrate girl you are a winner. Post that on your mirror. My shrink said I need to live in the moment, which to me sounded like a Hollywood line but when I can't sleep I just tell myself my job for this moment is to fall asleep not conjure world peace. Yours is to LOVE yourself each time you feel someone might be thinking otherwise. You go girl.

I gained 2-4 lbs this is day 3 as I had surgery on the 19. Not surprising since I was pumped full of fluids, bloated tummy and not going to the bathroom since before the surgery but not constipated yet either. I am taking in a Lot of fluids and it is passing just fine. So not expecting weight loss until off of medication and see the doc at the one week apt. It is fine, I know it will drop once regular life begins. But I'm in there with you. And being up a few.

Dr said mine was only 30 minutes and fixed a couple hernias.

I had my surgery yesterday am now home doing fine thanks for all the support everyone

Happy for you, keep up the great job.

Way to go!

I watched a doctor's u tube video and he said gurgling can be helped by water, one person also stated some anti diarrhea liquid helped her stomach to settle down, I have not even had mine yet but both of these are quite minor if you want to try. Just trying to help - checkout dr u tube videos. Good luck!

Gas ex under tongue, good luck If you are afraid plump up your veins by drinking as much as it comfortable before.

Let's all learn to say NO, it's my birthday and I chose where we go, it's my turn to choose the restaurant, I bought it to have only 2-3 bites and I know it's a waste but no one says a thing to a thin person who takes a couple bites, I have always said it's a Health Issue as why I can't eat. All the tempting of friends and family has probably attacked my weak points before and once I failed and ate - I felt horrible and ate myself back up to my top weights, this is one of the reasons I am having the surgery. I think it is great how strong all you have been! I think learning to ask a To Go Box was a wonderful informative suggestion on buffet locations, let's hear more of coping skills!!

August 19

Wow way to go men! Have a life, when you least expecting or even wanting is when that someone will come along. I once knew a guy who always asked the most beautiful girl in the room to dance and 90% of the time she said yes and even if she didn't everyone else knew he was strong and usually said yes too. Ask friends how they met, check out online, believe you are worthy and believe me life with the wrong person is ugly and worth waiting for the right one, it is so much easier but still work. Pray. See a shrink to see if you are putting out the wrong vibes or have something that needs worked on. Be the best you can be for that future person and more importantly yourself.

Good luck!!

Hope it went well for you and that each day you get better soon.

To all EGD was easy as everyone stated. Wannabthin that's good to hear, have you had any great issues or advice? I start drinks tomorrow and count down on the 7 days of liquids.

I did not have to remove any clothes or anything, just laid on my side and was OUT, I guess in recovery my husband said I spoke of the 70s ( how funny). I woke up and they said it is time to leave- the nurse told hubby she is hard to wake up and he said she doesn't sleep well but took advantage today. It really was nothing, I was more afraid they would find something that would keep me from the surgery and there was none. You will do great

I'm a granny toooo and having mine done on the 19

August 19

Keep positive!! I'm older and go through doubts that I "deserve" to get the surgery. But I'm going for it! Think of the years of benefits you will get from it! Maybe you won't get bad knees or ankles, health issues, live longer for your kids. It's ok to have doubts but look toward your goal. No one but my husband has supported me 100% and he waffles back and forth as he worries. I'm on count down to the 19th and start liquid on the 12 with several ladies groups to go to during that time, one even in my home but I will prevail. So can you! I have not really ever met people that get a lot of support from family or friends but it is their issues not yours.

Keep up the good work, I think people do not notice or do and are afraid to comment anymore. I also think that it takes months for your body to reshape its self, it is why the first year people say "you look sick-you looked better heavier" Your eyes and theirs will settle the longer you are thin, just keep it up. You go girl

I know the excitement! The wait from now until then is hard, I just jumped my final hurdle was the egd, I was afraid after coming this far for some reason it would keep me out, but the doc said it looked fine and we are a go for August 19. Plus huge relief as I was nervous. Now counting down is very real. Write me for any help! L
