Ok folks, I recently found comfort in reading a day to day from a previous forum member that went through their own sleeve surgery, so I will do the sane in hopes of maybe helping someone else and also as an "anxiety" relief and feedback/support.
6 days away from surgery - 12/16 is the big day. I am 5'10 woman early 30's and weigh 275 as of today.
Tomorrow I see my doc and clinic/hospital for final steps - anesthesia convo, etc.
In preparation for this my insurance and doctor requested documented alternative methods of weight loss programs, blood work, psych eval, nutritionist, ekg, attended his orientation class, chest xray, endoscopy and did not do ab ultrasound since I do not have a gall bladder, otherwise I would have gotten that as well.
I have a demanding job in which I travel and have a child and am single.
I'll report on the after affects as well as the day to day after and how I am coping with my day to day tasks - eating and pain while traveling, etc ...
I will also have some family helping me for the first two weeks of surgery.
Let the lifestyle change begin!
