[apelt001 116]

So I got my approval and I an scheduled for surgery jan 29th I am incredibly nervous and excited-ish and arghhh all at once. I have a one and a half year old and it breaks my heart to be so far away from her and not being able to lift and play with her for 6 weeks but I want to live an be happy to see her and my future children grow up. I want to break my familiez cycle of dyin of heart diseases blood pressure issues and diabetis an obesity. I will no longer let myself live to eat, there is so much more to life I am 23 I have a happy future to look forward too. If anyone has any words of encouragement or wisdom to give please say it. These nerves and anxiety are taking thier toll, wish I had more family support and understanding.

Don't you worry love time will pass by quick enough for you to carry your baby. Mine is on the 30th and I am so nervous. Never been on an operating table before. My family wasn't as supportive but now they are. I wish you the best and trust me we will look a lot different a year from now. I will keep you in my prayers and all I can say is think the positive. You will be breaking a cycle in your family and to me you are building a legacy forever to remember. Best of luck.

I had my surgery a little over 4 weeks ago. I did not have any problems whatsoever. I was up walking the halls that afternoon and had minimal pain. I had a pain pump that I could use whenever I needed medicine that kept me very very comfortable . I was given liquid pain meds that I filled before my surgery so I would be prepared when I came home. I gained weight in the hospital due to fluids and post op swelling but it came off a few days after I came home. All in all the surgery was a breeze!! This is a tool for us to use with our weight issues. I plan to make the best use of mine!! Good luck to both of you and best wishes.
