Hey everyone just wanted to pass along that we are going into the hospital tomorrow morning. They will clean him out and surgery will be @ 9:30 Wed morning. I will find out tomorrow how he going to do the surgery please pray they can do it through his rectum. I don't want them to have to cut him open. I will be at Presby in the childrens floor if anyone wants to call or come by. I will be there alone most of the time except the day of surgery the whole family will be there. I think I have most of your numbers in my phone so I will call someone to ask them to post here how he did. I am not sleeping much but I know it's just my nerves with all that is going on. So I am hoping after this is over I will be able to get some rest. I am just so ready got Curtis to heal and for us all to get this behind us.

Thanks for your continued thoughts and prayers as I know that is what is pulling us through. :D

Thanks everyone...I will be leaving here in about an hour. I am nervous but ready. He is in there playing right now. I feel so bad because I know what we are doing and he has no idea. I know it's best not to tell him.

Alright I should be home friday or saturday...I will update you then unless I hear from someone who can do it for me. Please feel free to call or come by...well those of you local. We will be @ Presby downtown.

Thanks again....here we go!!!!!

Kim called earlier to say that Curtis was in recovery and doing fine. I'm sure he is back in his room by now since this was not too long after lunch when she called. I just got home and this was the first chance I got to log on and tell you all.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
