Olive and Loriely,

My prayers are with you. I hope you have a very safe and non eventful surgery. Welcome to your new world. I will be thinking about you all day. I think Amy if leaving for Mexico tomorrow and I'll be leaving Friday. Let us know how your doing. I don't know about Amy, I haven't talked to her today but I'm not to bad nerve wise. How about it Amy.

Yup! I am leaving tomorrow. Plane leaves at 4:40pm, and I will be leaving the house here about 2:30 to pick up DH. He is such a sweety. He is doing all the laundry right now. And packing the bag. I am such a scatterbrain trying to figure out what to wear! And i am so nervous!!! LOL I have been trembling all day. But it is nervous excitement. I haven't got a doubt in my body, and caffeine couldn't possibly touch this high.

I agree with the color thing. It started looking like huge blue ink blot.. LOL I was going to put the ones who have been banded in a dark blue or even black.. to basically say "banded". Is that rude?

I was so jealous yesterday. It was supposed to be my band day, but then I couldn't get the days off work and had to schedule it at the end of the month. It was all I could think about yesterday!

And off topic... hung over today... it sucks~! :) Now I gotta go to work. Ugh.

:update: :update: :update: :update:

:clap2:Okay, I'm home and doing well.

I was banded yesterday. I was wheeled to the operating room at 2pm and woke up at 4pm and was on my way home at 5pm.

I wanted to post last night but was just really tired and uncomfortable. :notagree

I wouldn't say its painful just uncomfortable.

The pain meds help alot I think. I can't say for sure because i'm afraid to not take them. :nervous

So i'm here for everyone waiting for their date. If you have any questions just ask.

I'm going to try to get online at least once a day.

GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE GETTING BANDED TODAY!!!

I realized the whole thing was alot less scarey than i thought it was going to be. I was real nervous the whole time and next thing i know i'm already waking up.

I've only had Water and ice since yesterday. I don't feel hungary at all. Even though I feel like i should be eating to eat but i keep telling myself that i'm not hungary.

Its alot easier to not think about food.< /span>

It's a great feeling.

Thank you so much Gracie,

I hope everyone that's already had surgery is doing great and those of us who are waiting will have uneventful surgery. I hope I'm scared for no reason. Heck, I've never even been to Mexico and I am going and having surgery. I am looking so forward to putting this weight issue behind me. It has consumed me. I pray that Dr. Sanchez can help me with this fight. I'm looking so forward to meeting Amy as well.

Thanks for the well wishes. I'll let everyone know how I'm doing as soon as I can get on this laptop, and I'm sure Amy will too.

Thanks again Gracie,

Sherri

      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.
