Hello everyone!
This is my first post ever. I had my sleeve surgery on Monday, October 15, 2012, and it is the best thing that I have ever done! I go for my first post-op appointment tomorrow.
I started my journey on March 30, 2012, with my primary doctor who referred me. I then went for my first meeting with the bariatric doctor and team on April 27, 2012. I had to go through a six-month process for insurance purposes to get to my final date of October 15, 2012.
I have to say that I was totally prepared for this and have really had no pain since Wednesday. I was up and walking down the hall on Monday night after my surgery.
I made it through the last weekend eating only liquids while my family had a family gathering/picnic The smells made it so tempting but I just looked at it as, this was my choice and I am going to be so much better off when the pounds come off.
I can't wait to hear from everyone as to what they are going through and to share where I can.
