KIKi my surgery is on the 27th of Feb Im scared too. Lets keep in touch with each others progress

Give it to me straight. We have all heard the good things the weight loss strories, the before and after pics, the fun trips shopping...but if you could say 1 bad thing anything that came of this what would it be? I am a realist and would like to be prepared for the whole story.

Awesome. SMO I was worried that I would be needing to be nurtured by food after going thru surgery and being in pain becuase that is how I would have handled it, with a pair of nicely buttered english muffins to be exact..lol

SMO do you feel deprived? are you craving your old standbyes?

SMO when was your surgery? Because gamer wasnt yours awhile ago?

Honestly did any of you stop in your tracks one day and say to yourself..OMG most of my stomache is gone and I will never eat a real meal again...thats a fear Im having..

Thanks Cowgirl btw you are ONLY 2 PONDS FROM GOAL!!! I bet your in heaven..

Ok so I am meeting with the surgeon tomorrow and read on this site about Bougie sizes. Do we have to decide with the surgeon what size we want? Any suggestions as to what size is better, Ive read about this, not exactly clear on it though. Anybody else?

Love this. Cant wait till I can walk out of a dressing room again with a smile...

Yes I feel the same way. Grrr

#The Gamer Im laughing so hard at your post because I am about 2 weeks pre-op and so curious as to how this is all going to play out and am I really prepared for what I am getting my self into and am I really ready to break up with my most disfunctional boyfriend (food) LOL and I am almost positve that your expierience will be pretty much like mine, I am not a good patient either. I am not good with pain or starving for that matter, never been a big fan of being nauseaus or throwing up for extended periods of time or one time, But having said that, I feel better about it having read your post.. Thank You.

Think of it this way, People have a lots of things removed that alter our body but make it work better. Such as having your gall bladder removed when it goes bad, uterus when its causing us trouble or we dont need it any longer. Thats the way I am looking at it. And its vanity is just a wonderful side efftect of the sleeve. Its meant to make our lives healthier and enable us to be more active.
