new member, getting sleeved 12/27

[mattuti86 23]

Hello! This is my first post, I'm getting sleeved on thu in Tijuana. I'm really nervous but also excited. I've had butterflies in my stomach for days. I can't wait to be on the other side of this. I'm 26 and in the last 4-5 years I've gone up to 360 lbs, I remember when I was 180 in high school and thinking I'm never going to let myself get to 200 and now I'm heavier than ever. I'd considered getting surgery for a couple of years but never really looked into it, but seeing my friend go through with it and seeing how awesome she looks and feels about her self, i decided it was time! I've been reading around this forum for a couple of months and I'm so glad i found it! It's great to be able to read so much experiences and info on this. I'm looking forward to be able to share all my accomplishments and read about all of yours. I don't know how to close this so I'll just say, i can't wait! lol thanks for taking the time to read my post, i will write again as soon as i can after surgery. Happy holidays to all!

Good luck, mattuti86. I am being sleeved on Thursday, as well, but in Nevada. Hope your trip goes well for you.

Thanks, Traci j! And thanks and good luck to you, daisy65!

[daisy65 13]

Thank you! I'm so nervous I can't sleep anymore. Might as well get up. Good luck to all.

Hope everything went well for both of you today!

[mattuti86 23]

Thanks, surgery went well for me, but of course ive been feeling crappy all day lol it's all worth it! On a side note, i was nervous about how i was going to act while waking up and when they brought me back to my room i kept telling my mom i hated every fast food place i could think of lol

Things went well! Staying here another night to get some extra rest. Feeling pretty good, except lots of hiccups. Doesn't feel so good. Looking forward to go home and see my husband and my 18 mo old son. Passed the leak test, so I am hoping to not have any side effects! Hope you're all recovering well. We made it!

[Pepper Paul 143]

Guess I should have said all three of you. Somehow I missed one! Glad you are both doing well. How about you RRR?

[mattuti86 23]

Leak test time for me! I'm just starting to drink that blue liquid, yuck!

[mattuti86 23]

I spoke to soon about yuckiness, that liquid they give you for the xray is beyond yucky! Passed my leak test! I can't wait to ho home, I miss my puppy! I also wanna weight myself so bad lol
