Journey

You must feel like a new person already. Share your secret!

Has anyone heard what the left side upper quadrant pain is from

Omg the smile on your face is beautiful. It must be an amazing feeling knowing what you have accomplished! I assume that is your daughter in the pants. She must be so proud of her mom! I was sleeved on Feb 14th. I can't wait for that smile!

I'm just laying here going to have a nap. Feel about80%. Surgery went well just some pain from the gas and the drains are so so I can't believe my first is here.

We have the most amazing Dr. Dr Casanada is amazing. He came to the condo to check on us today. I am feel soooo good. Don't want to jinxs it. Tubes out in one more day!!!!!!

Back the condo today. Wow, walking really helps. A bit if pain in my left shoulder tonight. Feel really tired. Thank you all for the helpful hints and good wishes.

Well on the way to the hospital. Surgery in the morning. Missing my family tonight and a bit sad my husband is not here. Went for a long walk so should hopefully sleep good tonight. I love puerto vallarta and love the support system that is here!! Wish me luck. Going in at 235. Weighed in at the airport lol. That scale is never wrong.

Omg I am three days from surgery. Started my pre op diet today. Killer headache. I am leaving for Mexico tomorrow with my dearest friend. I am leaving at home 4 kids and that realization is hitting my hard as I hold one of my twins this early in the morning because he is sick. This is the first cry I have had over my decision. I wanted to weigh and measures today but was exhausted. Tomorrow it is, will give us something to pass the time before our flight. I am looking forward to a new me but scared, as I am sure we have all been at some point. I always thought I wasnt "that big" but come on 230 lbs ain't no "little"either. I am ready to say goodbye to the fat! My first goal is 185 lbs. the smallest ill have been in 12 years. Well here is to the next part of my "journey"

Thank you. I am glad to know I am not the only one who hopes they won't die on the table. Just traveling to airport. Crapping my pants to be honest

This 4 weeks will go by so fast you will blink and it will be over. Get ready for the emotional roller coaster that last week, it's crazy and normal !

Thank you. I needed to hear some encouraging words and others advice!!!!!

Best of luck

I remember that anxious feeling like it was yesterday. I am 3 weeks until surgery and my mind is just slowing down. I've been waiting 2 months

I can not believe that it was two months ago I took the first steps of this journey and now I'm just looking at two and half weeks before surgery. I have been following this site and finally have the courage to post. I have not wavered in my decision at all but worry about recovery. How long will I be unable to do physical work? I am a teacher but have a cleaning job on the side. Thank you all for sharing your personal stories on here.
