I didn't have to do much really I just couldn't eat past midnight the night before or drink past 6 a.m. This morning. They were really nice and it was over really quickly. I of course don't remember a thing the anesthesia was really good

Yea I made it through the upper endoscopy today no big deal actually surprise to me considering I'm a huge weenie when it comes to any medical kind of stuff! Getting set up with the nurse was what took the longest I think I waited about an hour and a half before they actually did the procedure and the next thing I knew I was going home!

Eeeek! I have my EGD tomorrow, this will be my first IV, well.. here goes nothing!

I weighed in on Friday and finally made the weight I needed to be in for surgery to be covered by insurance ( I was just a few pounds shy with no other ailments) so I'm now at 40 percent BMI and my paperwork is being submitted to insurance I should know in less than two weeks if I get approved and can schedule my surgery... its a waiting game and it stinks but at least I'm moving ahead! I've never been so scared or so excited to be cut open I've never been admitted to a hospital, and generally have severe anxiety attacks so hopefully I don't give them too much grief lol especially when I go in for my upper GI. I have several friends that have either had a bypass or lap band but only one friend that has had the vertical sleeve she has lost almost a hundred pounds in 4 months. She's been a really good of a motivator through this whole process and it just so happens she's a nurse at the hospital where she got her surgery done.

I have mine on Thursday afternoon I just found out today that I've been approved for surgery!!!

I'm APPROVED!!

Well my upper GI was pushed one week so now it's on Thursday. One step closer

Start focusing on all the positive things will change and happen because of this tool. Because that's exactly what this surgery is for you a tool to help change your life and nothing more it will only fail if you let it. I'm a big water drinker too but don't worry, you still have to in take a lot just a lot slower! Listen to me I sound like I've already had the sleeve done I'm patiently waiting for my surgery date, I have done so much research questioning you name it to make sure this is exactly what I want and I know that it is, let's put it this way you haven't come this far for nothing. Good luck dear I'm sure everything will be perfectly fine they do these all the time now, and my friends that I've haven't done said recovery is a lot faster than they thought. Happy thoughtsfor

My NUT says miso soup is full of protein maybe just squish the heck out of the tofu its usually pretty soft already be

Believe it or not a bulletproof vest worked in a pinch! Yes I actually did that lol...
