I can't believe it. It's here. Tomorrow. 9:45 checkin. Excited and nervous of the unknown and what my body will accomplish. I can't wait for the pain in my knees to away. I can't wait to run around with my four year old. So many "I can't wait" statements. Wow....it is finally going to happen!!!!

@@klock Hi - So I was sleeved this past Friday and stayed overnight. The night wasn't bad, but the drugs they game me really knocked me out. friday I remember them giving me tiny little cups of Water, I kept it down....onto Bari2 which was broth and Jello, tiny little bites and slow is the key. Saturday I was still a bit groggy, did well with pain. started on bari3 - instant Breakfast drink 4oz and will remain on Bari 3 for two weeks, alternating every hour between 4oz instant breakfast, 4oz clear liquid. Now it is Sunday, last night was terrible in my own bed, but did sleep some. Today I want to just be vertical as much as I can. In regards to second guessing - I was dealing with this for the past two years. But then I found this program I am in now and it is wonderful. Very supportive.I know I made the right decision. I am looking forward to working out without pain, walking without pain, and running around with my four year old. Hope this helps! Good luck with everything!!!

Sept 24th was my original date until a few days prior there was an insurance snafu canceling my surgery and turning my life upside down. Talk about a kick in the gut! Lost motivation, lost my oomph. Now this Friday, 11/21, is my new date. Went through my preop physical and am beyond excited!! It is here. Finally. It has been a very long journey.

my surgery went well. the night was pretty good too. cant wait for all the tubes to come out and get home. able to keep water down and took all night to eat a sugar free jello- all night! lol cant wait to see where this journey takes me.

Thank you! So excited!!

Thank you! And best wishes to you!!!

I am sadly NOT going to be a September 24 sleever anymore. I am beyond frustrated, but trying to still be good. I have been so ready, bought all my Vitamins and post surgery items to be told today by my insurance company that I was supposed to register with "their" program and after I registed a NP will be giving me a call on September 29th. I called back in April and asked everything, they NEVER transferred me to the bariatric area of my insurance, not even a mention of it!!!!!!!! Now, surgery that was for next week is cancelled, by claim for my short term disability closed, all the arrangments for my work to be done again, later as well as childcare arrangements for my son. This sucks, I am venting, crying inside so my son doesn't see (he is four). Picked him up from school all happy as usual and one of his young buddies asked if I had a baby in my belly. I thought I would bust crying, but nope. Thank god I have a therapy appointment tomorrow.I just want to scream! :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry:

This may sound weird, but with my date of 9/24, I am not so much scared for the surgery, the liquid diet, any anticipated pain from surgery. I am scared to death of being "skinny" if my body takes me to that point. I would like to lose 150 pounds and I can't even imagine what that is going to be like. A whole new world, new looks from people, perhaps more respect from others. I hate clothes shopping now, and I will inevitably have to buy more clothes, but will my mind ever "match" my body??? I know therapy will help, and I have a fantastic psychologist who specializes with morbid obesity. I am thankful for this board, to just, "let it out". Thanks for reading. Best wishes to all the other September sleevers!!!!

Got my date. September 24th. Nervous and excited, scared and in disbelief. I have my prep on the 18th. Haven't been told to start a liquid diet yet......do most? Why weren't you? Should I call and ask about it? I suspect that they would have told me already, but it don't know.

Hello everyone! I am new here and this is my very first post, I am very excited to share my new me date will start on the 24th! I can't believe it, just a few short weeks!!
