GAmom's play by play with pictures..Including stomach..Be warned LOL

I hope the same thing Kat. I've had quite a few abdominal surgeries and have had my gallbladder removed too... Hoping all that makes me a little more familiar with the sensations and will make it a little easier for me!! Maybe wishful thinking lol but I'm right there with you!

I don't think it's that far of a stretch to hope! We will see, in another few weeks.

Thanks everyone. I tried to be as detail as I could I know I have left things out and ill post the important ones when I remember them.

Let me add all our nurse wore gloves and we had wash cloths. (I packed m own cause I heard I should lol but didn't need them) I was so worried about glove issues but we had no issues at all

GAmom your simply amazing!!....I honestly believe this experience depends on what kind of attitude you have going into it! I'm stoked(and nervous I ain't gonna lie lol) about getting this done in 46 days and I have it set in my mind that it's gonna be a breeze like you made it seem lol! I can only hope that it really does go that smoothly for myself and all the rest of the fellow sleevers! =)

I think we might do pretty darn well with yet another surgery Kat!! Lol you'll definitely have to let me know how you do since you're up first!!!

Hi, I'm the Jessica is the story. Thank you GAmom for telling our story. I am a huge talker, but not big into typing. It was awesome having GAmom by my side the whole time. We would have been perfectly fine alone too.

I will add some people say they see their surgeon once before surgery and once afterwards. I will tell you, we saw Dr. Illan at least 15 times during our trip. Omar never left our side except at night.

Hello all I am scheduled for August 13th trying to get that changed to the 12th. I am really nervous which I am sure most people are. Oh my surgery is with dr. Illan.
