Hi . My doc picked the sleeve for me. He decided since I had colon cancer in the past that the sleeve was the way to go. Not sure why but going with what he says. Good luck to you Hun.

Awesome! Love the smile! Looking good!

I am scheduled for Oct 19 to have gastric sleeve. I am nervous about telling people..because even now when I am cutting back everyone wants to shove food at me..our world revolves around it!! this was a cute post!! thanks for sharing. R~

Hi there of course we can be sisters!! WLS sisters!! No I dont know what time yet. I have to call a couple of days before and ask the time. But it is scheduled for Oct 19th.. do you know your time? I have to go next week one more time for a physical- and to go over what will happen the day of the surgery I also have to bring a list of any meds I am on and show the Vitamins that I have purchased like the Calcium chewables etc.. I just received my meds that I will be on when I am discharged from hospital they mailed them out to me. -I am excited and nervous. all at the same time!! hugs R~

Thanks for the recipe sounds great.

Hi there my date is Oct 19th .. so excited finally seems real. I have been nesting as well. got all my vitamins.. bought some protein shakes that I like. some loose shorts and easy t=-shirts to pull on. getting all my nail polish off my fingers and toes. just have a running list of things I need to get done. that and work keeping me busy so I dont totally freak out.. in a good way. congrats to you!!

I just got this on my Kindle fire and I love it. tons of information..thank you for the book and this site!!

this is true but unfortunately that didnt even give me any kind of sedation conscious or otherwise all I felt was pain and agony. I am still nervous about this anesthesia.. just dont want to know anything or wake up..

I am worried about the same thing. I dont want to tell anyone. so they can say oh you took the easy way out..yeah right..this has been such an ordeal and I have the surgery on Oct 19th..cant wait. thanks for sharing with us. Ramona

I am so worried that I will wake up during the procedure. recently had a colonoscopy- I asked them I will be put out right? they were snappy saying YEs!! we have to get you situated first..lay onyour side etc..well they started and nothing I didnt feel any of the meds..the anesthesiologist nurse kept pushing the meds (verced?) bad spelling.. into my iv. and nothing.nothing.I screamed and cried. they cut out a polyp and took tissue samples..I felt it all. some people think I am crazy but I felt it. it hurt so bad. I have a history of colon cancer and had a big tumor in my rectum that has staples in.. so already issues down there. after it was over ( I never was out at all) the nurse came in and said she gave me 700 units of verced and they usually only give 500 units. and that should have knocked me out. well it didnt (dont you have an alternative pain management plan in place??) then the doctor who kept telling me to be quiet came in and said you dont do well with Verced..umm ya think?? and she told me next time I have a procedure to ask for fentenal? she said just ask for the drugs that killed michael jackson?? umm wow I have to associate me having a procedure with dying?? when I got off the gurny/bed there was blood all over the sheet. needless to say I will now be making sure before I go in to get a guarantee I wont wake up. that was a nightmare. so I guess I am worried I will wake up ..or nothave pain meds that I need. Just gotta have faith.l have had lots of good experiences.this happened a month ago..so it is still fresh.. ughh thanks R~

Thank you for sharing. God Bless you and keep healing.. Hugs R~

Congrats- hope you guys are healing and doing good. Let us know when you can R~
