So helpful reading about others journey for my time will be soon. On day 6 of my preop diet, doing pretty good headaches left and I'm finding out so much info on here...Glad everyone is doing well...

In louisiana to, so I understand the heat...and bow on my shoes always to the side is so true I hadnt thought about that one.

Glad to hear all are doing well...my questions to all recently sleeved... is what are some of your methods of trying to get fluids in and how much at a time?....

Just revd a call the hospital wants another cardiac clearence letter seen it has to be within 30 days of surgery and the 18th is around the corner. I believe it will not be a issues since my heart doctor was the one who referred me for weight loss surgery and he wrote one before, but its been a while and my surgery date got changed from May 28th...So its just one other way of making sure I'm ok for surgery and I'm cool with that...glad they caught it!!!!

Me 2...I'm on day 4 of my preop and doing good. Yesterday I had appts wit nut and surgeon down 5 more pounds, so I treated my self to a pedicure instead of food, plus my toes will be all cute for surgery...lol

Sitting here thinking and this just popped in my head.....I will be able to tie my own shoes soon with out having to change from side to side while holding my breathe....:-)

@taking ...hi sleeve buddy

So glad to hear everyone is doing so well...my date is coming up soon 18th...

Day 3 on preop diet, still doing ok having headaches off and on but doing ok. Went for prop doctors appt down 5 more pounds, sitting in the hosptial now waiting to preregister and blood work done decided I'm doing one stop shopping, hitting everything I can to get it out the way for Surgery...feeling so blessed that the Lord have supplied me with such a calmness...

1st day on preop doing pretty good. Joints in some pain due to having to stop my meds for them prior to surgery to increase my ability to heal better. So the joints pain out trump the hungry pains today...lol..just got to laugh, so im in good spirits...

Prayers and positive entery to all today....

Ok did my preop class i found out i did à good job with my research i wasnt réally surprise about most of the info presented except the two week preop diet, turns out no liquid diet like i had been trying to pump myself up for. I was pleasently surprised. Ive been making chances since last august to transition as smooth as i could , i start at 346 with my heaviest 349, weight today 317. Yes I have à ways to go, whats important to me 2day, i know i will get there. Im giving this my all, and i now put my needs first and it féels wonderful...

How do u load pic?

Yes thx for sharing, its most helpful ....

June 18 here and in Lafayette Louisiana...preop class in the morning will post what i find out.....not nevous so far, and no doubts so far...i have done so much research and i an so tired of the weight and how it had taken a hold on me, and yes i said "had", cause im fighting back now, and i feel im ready...we will see where i am after preop class together... :-)

@ bec ....how are u feeling

Oh i did clearly address the issue of "tool"...for me yes since i was educated on the subject, the term tool have been used...seeing this post also educated me on another view point which i understood aready how serious of à décision this will be for me. Im to the point right now, whatever it is called is fine with me, im so gratful thats its available to me now and i know the risks of having it as well as the risk if i dont, just as well as it will not be easy and im making à lifetime committment. And resources are available for me on this journey in here and outside, but its up to me to stay on top of my needs..and its time i do something for me, making me priorty was the start for me, my date is june 18, keep à eye out for me, i will be here soaking up all the info and support i can find....have à wonderful day ....

@cinn ...i agree with your way of thinking..i may not know what the future holds for me completely, anything is possibable, but i sûre know what my past looks like, and that i can look at honestly...and make decisions on what i can change to possibly get à better chance in life to be productive again. And of course with changes comes guidelines to follower..eyes wide open...
