Hi Mary Anne, I'm Carrie, nice to meet you. I know it can get frustrating with all the waiting, but trust me it will be worth it! I say just be patient, continue to work out, {I am afraid of the arm fat too} and try to watch what you eat, so the pre op diet won't be too much of a shock on your body. Post op is pretty difficult so far, but I am only 4 days post op. I mean, I can't complain really because I haven't had any complications, knock wood. Just some gas discomfort and port site pain, but it's worth it because it will be over soon. Just hang in there, and if you need anything, let me know!

Wow, 50 that's awesome! You should be so proud of yourself. I bet you feel great already. Did you have a nice time with your mom?
I actually slept on my side for part of the night last night, the most sleep I've gotten in days! And I have alot more energy today. I am getting through the weekend pretty well. Today will be the true test because my parents are bbqing steaks and having baked potatoes, while I'll be having blended soup. But that's ok, I go home after dinner tonight and it won't be as tempting! How about you? How do you handle it now when you can actually eat when people have bbq's and stuff?

Hey there! I hope you are having a great weekend at your moms! That sounds like fun! I was glued. I am feeling pretty good today, just some port site pain, but otherwise ok. Still not sleeping great, but I guess that's normal. I want to sleep on my side so bad but haven't been able to yet. I hope your weightloss is going well! How much have you lost now?

Oh no, that's awful! I'm so sorry to hear that. Did they say how long to expect before you can schedule? How truly frustrating for you...don't give up hope! My surgery was yesterday, home now and feel pretty good, a little sore, but that's normal! Otherwise, I feel good!

Hey! Thanks for thinking of me! I was like you, was really nervous the morning of, but luckily, they took me at 8:30 am! So before I knew it, it was over. It went really well. I'm really pleased with everything so far. And my scars aren't even bad, and it's only one day post op! How are you doing this week? I do have a question for you, after surgery, and when you returned home, how long did it take before you were sleeping comfortably? I tried to take a nap today, but just could not get comfortable, my stomach muscles were aching badly! Just thought I'd ask your experience! Hope you are having a great week!

Hi Teresa! Thanks for the nice message! I am home now from the hospital, and surgery went well! I am still sore, which is obviously to be expected, but otherwise feel great. I'm really happy so far that I made this decision! I know you will be too! How far along are you in the process? Have you had to go through evaluations and everything already? Let me know! And if you have any questions, please feel free to ask! Great to meet you!
