I'm finally doing it!

[charitymarroquin 0]

Hey Guys! I have finally committed to getting the sleeve this Tuesday. My doctor told me he could do it on that day, but I'm been trying to see if I could make up my mind to do it. But I AM going to do it! Not sure what time. I think in the morning.

I'm a little bit nervous because I have not did any kind of pre-op diet. My doctor told me not too worry about it because I'm not extremely overweight... I have over 100 lbs. to lose, to me that's alot...

What do you guys think?

I wonder what time I will have to stop eating or drinking tomorrow?

Maybe some of you that have just had your surgery around the same time we can keep more in touch and see how we are doing?

I love having found this site and having people that can help me along the way!

Also I enjoy reading about you guys that have already been where we've been and we can learn from your experiences.

Charity that is wonderful news. Put yourself in God's hands and know that this is His will for you in your life - it all came together so easy it has to be. You shoudl stop eating/drinking 12 hours before your surgery -- you can take any necessary medication in the morning with only enough Water to get them down.

You'll do GREAT - keep us posted - we'll be watching to hear from you!

Congrats!!

You must be so excited. Don't forget to put your surgery on the calendar, and check out the Oct. sleeve group for the others also having surgery this month.

It is wonderful that you can have it done so quickly, and soon you will be one of the "losers"!!

Take care and let us know how you are getting along.

Hey Guys! Thank you for all your replies! I've got a time for my surgery! Now it's official! No backing out... I'm scheduled for 10am. Need to be at the hospital at 9am. Thank you for all your prayers! I will be back home on Thursday and I'll post an update!

God Bless!

I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers ! ! !

Thank you guys for your prayers! I went into surgery on Tuesday and came home yesterday afternoon. I'm on my way to recovery. I can't say that I haven't wondered if I did the right thing since the surgery, but I guess that's normal.

This is day 4 and I'm not feeling too bad. The worse thing is I have the drainage bag and tube hanging out of my stomach! Yuck! I don't get it out until tuesday. I think I'll feel better after then.

Thanks for all your prayers!

Yes, I think that is a very normal thought - at least I know I went through those thoughts.

This is day 4 and I'm not feeling too bad. The worse thing is I have the drainage bag and tube hanging out of my stomach! Yuck! I don't get it out until tuesday. I think I'll feel better after then.

Thanks for all your prayers!

Each day gets better and better - walk, walk, walk and sip, sip, sip!
