Email me at and I'll answer any of your questions.

I'm in Virginia at fort belvoir. You cannot go wrong going there. I have nothing but good things to say about everything I went through there.

I had my surgery on Sept. 12, 2013 at walter reed and everything went great. I have no complaints about anything there. Dr. REHRIG was my surgeon.

I have and the sleeve surgery was by far the easiest as far as surgery pain goes. But I had gas and nausea with the sleeve.

Hope everything goes quickly and easily. Good luck.

Day 5 post op and things are going pretty good. My new tummy is very gurgly. I went to the grocery store today and survived lol. Drinking is pretty easy but I'm having a hard time liking water or Crystal light. G2 and propel flavored water are better right now. I'm a big water drinker so this is bothering me having to find other things to drink . Protein is slow going because it doesn't stay cold enough, but it's going. My larger incision is the one that I notice the most especially when I cough. I'm coming along I will be glad to be feeling all better.

My smell is super sensitive. My taste is too. I am now very gaggy.

Surgery yesterday went well. I've been up and walking. Waiting to be fetched for the swallow/leak test. Pain has been minimal nausea comes and goes but they are quick with the meds. Was moved from ICU to my room this morning. Gotta get some more walking in so I can pass gas. Hope everyone is doing well today.

On the way to hospital and omg traffic is a b!@#h! So glad my husband is driving. Will post as soon as I'm able.

My bags are packed and kids and husband have been given their orders . I have to be at the hospital at 9am surgery is at 11am. A little nervous not of the surgery or the recovery but of the risks and complications. Hope everyone who's scheduled tomorrow has smooth sailing.

Congratulations

Yay congratulations!

Thinking of those that are being sleeved today. Here's to wishing for a speedy no complications recovery.

Getting ready to head out for a day of pre op appointments. Time is flying by surgery day will be here before I know it.

I felt all of those emotions too when I got the call. I had to do some serious soul searching and my husband helped me reason things out. I know that this is what is best for me. I am very good at losing weight, but I'm not good at keeping it off. This surgery is going to give me my life back. I can't wait for the 12th to get here. I hope you are able to work through your emotions and come to peace with whatever decision you make.

The pre op liquid diet does get better. My surgery is scheduled for Sept 12. Tomorrow will be 1 week down of this diet. Day 4 was a bit hard because I was just so ready to chew my food. But the last few days have been really good. I space my protein out through out the day drink my last one around 530-6pm when cooking dinner for everyone. Then I just drink drink drink water plain or flavored till I'm about to pop. During the day I've been chewing a lot of gum as well. Hang in there guys it's all worth it in the end.

I read won't be available till 2014

Oh wow I'm gonna go look those up right now.

My kids and my husband run 5k's, I walked with out littlest but now he is getting where he can start running a lot of one too so I don't want to be left behind . I will be using the couch to 5k program as well post op.

My husband is taking a week off. I know that I will be able to care for myself, but he will be here helping get the kids to and from school the first few days. He can always go back to work if he needs too. But he decided to put in for a week just in case he was needed here more than we anticipate.

It was super simple. I'm a hard stick so my IV was the worse part lol. Quite honestly I don't remember anything after turning on my side.
