Glad to here everything was a success. Also thank you for sharing.

[Mrs.Riene 16]

good for you, yes i agree it seems now a days everything is bad for us , lol. you have to do what is best for you not what some may say, my Dr is all for this, up in canada it is a bit different we opt to go get this done, we do not have to go thru anything, although i did, my dr sent for blood work etc, just to be sure i was good to go

I just read your post in response to mines, sorry for the delay. I was just trying to ensure I respond to those members who were have their surgery yesterday. As for my previous post, after my cardio checkup I found out that it was her presistence that push my insurance company to respond. So now, I guess I can say that all medical doctors are not against this type of procedure, only some.

Boy, sometimes I wish I was lived outside the states, especially when it comes to medical needs. The states medical policies are so strict that sometimes it is hard to get anything you need done without having to jump through a lot of hoops. When I used to travel out of the country there was one thing I found that was readliy available, medicine and medical needs. On one of my last trips to DR I became very sick from something I ate. A doctor from one of the office I was working in came by to see me at the hotel and told me to go to the pharmacy and purchase some bateria medicine, it was that easy. In the states I would have to go see a doctor who would check me over to tell me I was sick (after I paid my co-pay) and then he would write a prescription. I am just really tired of all of the hoops.

Well anyway, I see your date is approaching, March 8th. Are you currently on the liquid diet? How is it? I really am not worry about the liquid diet as much as I am worry about the surgery itself. The diet I can do, the surgery I am little scared about. Just hope I am one of those who balance back quickly. No real complication.

Well have to go I see someone on the message board who had their surgery yesterday, not sure if I wish them the best.

Hello all you March Sleevers,

My surgery date will be March 1st and I am just getting acquainted with this forum. I am excited and nervous and a bit afraid of failure all in one. I have both positive support from friends as well as the naysayers. It seems so many people want to tell me the "Horror" stories of their "friends". Don't they realize what that negativity can do to someone with a date set and their mind made up? It is not like we decided this overnight! I am keeping this s secret from some (family and friends far away) and others on an as needed basis. I would like to keep it a secret to everyone, but that is not fair to those who are struggling with their weight. I can't with integrity look someone in the eye who is struggling and make them think I did this without surgery. So, I must swallow my pride and share my story as needed.

Hope you all are well and enjoying the journey. I am busy organizing me house...how silly is that?

mambomama I was just browsing through all of the message to ensure I wish all of those who were having their surgery, yesterday. I came across your post and realize you also were scheduled for March 1st. Sorry for not sending you a best wish for a successfully outcome. I hope you are ok and processing well. Send us a message when you feel up to it. We would like to know you are okay.

Leederz, Thank you for sharing. The getting back to normal is one of my concerns. About a 1 year old I had a major surgery that took me over 6 six weeks to recover. I was kind of anxious about this surgery because I just was not sure if I would recover by the next day or if it was going to take me several weeks. But hearing that you are recovering so well it make me feel a lot better about it. As for the pain I am not so worry about it. As I said the 1 major surgery I had was so painful that if I can make it though that I can make it though anything. Again thanks for sharing.
