So i have officially had my surgery done may 5th i was the last patient i am home from the hospital today and I feel a little weak still and sore and still having a little gas pains here and there i came home had some crystal light which taste good to me still thank god after just so much water I've been drinking. But i am a little hungry but its not like omg feed me i believe its my fat mind lol and tomorrow i am able to drink some protein which i will be looking forward to doing that, anyone else had surgery recently?

Good luck hun, all will be well be strong.

Thanks a lot hun really excited for what's to come

So I got the call this morning with my date which is kind of nerve wrecking things are getting real here I get surgery May 5th, and I do my pre-op testing on April 21 I have so many things flying through my head is anyone getting surgery in NYC?

Honestly hun of course Loosing weight is not easy and you think to yourself I am setting weightloss goals for weight loss surgery? really so it is discouraging and I went through pre-op procedure over 4 times before I went completely completing the whole thing. I am now just waiting for my surgery date trust me it is no walk in the park I was also diagnosed with sleep apnea and I need to use my cpap mask for surgery so there are people who have more difficult time than other and still go through surgery. So I believe in you do not quit. I wish the best of luck I was supposed to loose 33 pounds and I lost a total 17lbs which was not easy but I did it. And now I am just waiting for my date. Good LUCK!!!

Good luck hun, Please let me know how it goes because I have a cpap machine as well and it makes me nervous to go through surgery with that but best of luck I know all will go well I am supposed to get my date april 1 so keep your fingers crossed for me.

First off its hard for anyone being over weight to loose weight especially the older you get i do not believe your taking the easy way out i believe you have given it your all and your taking the last thing possible step to make your health better many people may not agree but no one is living in your shoes do what your heart tells you and remember this surgery isnt a walk in the park i know family members first hand who have done it and said the last thing it will be is EASY!! So sorry to your husband but it is definitely not as easy as he may think this may be the most challenging thing you will go through, best of luck to you.

How was ur ekg results hun? and i am sorry to hear all the extra stuff is happening but its for the best to have safest surgery possible don't be discourage god is on your side

Hi hun I just want to say congrats my cousin had surgery about 6 months ago and its a hard experience in the beginning but doesn't last long which is cool just to see how much she has come along but best of luck i should be getting a date after this month!!!

Thanks hun its intense for me i suffer from anxiety so its like too much for me right now but i pray things get better for me thanks to all your guys who replied i am glad i found this app

Thank you so much for your words i just got my machine and i cried opening it and setting it up i hate the idea of this but i know its for a better and healthier life and its for my surgery which i cannot wait to get

I am currently undergoing my pre surgery diet and I have done and finished all appointments for surgery and got referrals done and all but I was diagnosed with sleep apnea I am getting CPAP machine today, the sleep clinic told me I have to use it about 30 days before they clear me, it is very uncomfortable from my experience with the sleep study and I also have to loose 10lbs more . which loosing weight isn't the issue it is just the part of sleeping with a machine that is shoving air in you while you sleep, I also have to bring the machine with me to surgery I have yet to get a date, due to these two last things but I am hoping to receive surgery soon enough I have been doing all the work up since june of 2014. Any advice? suggestions?
