Sleeve 9/3 Anyone?

The day is almost here and I am getting nervous! I am very excited as well! Anyone else on the same boat?

I am exactly 31 days post op.......thus far it has been an exciting feeling and the most frightning as well.....I woke up and said "what the hell did i do to myself" .....However I do not regret my decision nor the journey I am on. I did not write in the blogs or encourage or discourage anyone for the first couple of weeks, because my head was shrouded in doubt and fear...however, now I can say that this was the best decision that I could have ever made in my life. I am happy and Im getting stronger day by day....my life is normal with the exception of my eating habits.

today was my first test...I had a surprise bridal shower, which was held at the Mission Inn....one of my favorite food spots, and I was able to order and enjoy my day.....so to my surprise I was able to blend in and no one was the wiser. I enjoyed my salmon and the day with my family......so prepare yourself for a roller coaster ride....but before going into the surgery....know for sure that this is what you want to do.....then as the Nike commercial said "Just do it"....good luck in your new journey.....

Tovanta, good post!! I agree with what you said. Once someone decides to do this surgery, just do it. :-). It's NOT easy. It's a long, rollercoaster ride and if a person doesn't invest 100% in themselves, it will make for an even bumpier ride.

To the first poster: Don't get me wrong, it'd normal and perfectly ok to be nervous, but be prepared too. Have you seen a psychologist? I was required to see one for 4 months and it REALLY helped me.

Good luck!!

Best wishes ! I am looking at surgery the week of sept 17. I will be praying that all goes well and you will be back posting your progresses. The rollercoaster of anxiety before the big day is quite elevated-but know that we are all here hoping you feel healthier and happier on the loser's side!

Thank you for your best wishes! Yes I am seeing a therapist once a week and am working on some issues but I am ready! Yesterday was pure liquids all day and had a sad day (my doctor had me on high Protein low carb and two days liquid) so although I wasn't hungry hungry I think my sugar might have been low! There is no turning back, I'm ready!

Tuesday here, and I am only excited! Probably won't get nervous until just before. I think my husband is more freaked than I ever will be.

My husband had this surgery in Mexico by Dr. Daniel Huacuz, and he died from it. Do not make the same mistake as he did.

So sorry this happened. What were the issues? Did he have a low or high BMI ?

[yazun82 22]

At the hospital! Ready for the adventure!
