This is such a tough place to be. From my research, less than 1% have complications. You have worked hard to get this far and the time is here.......Write down on a piece of paper the pro's and con's of having this procedure.....Everyone pretty much feels this right before surgery and many of us continue on and "JUST DO IT." My bariatric surgeon saids this is a safe proprcedure. So I wish you the best and hope to hear how your doing or if you decided to put it off..... :)

No, I'm not going to put it off. I'm all in now, just nervous with the "what ifs". Hopefully this time tomorrow I'll be up walking and getting acquainted with my smaller stomach!!! Wish me luck everybody and I wouldn't turn away a prayer either!!!!

I agree with Ms Skinniness! IF you have a problem with the what ifs...then just think about the what if I donts! :) You are doing something GREAT for you. Hang in there. I wish I was going in, but still have 2 months to wait. ugh.

You will do great!

Try and relax. I had my sleeve done on Monday and everything went fine. I had alot of pain but once I was given the pain medication, I was ok. I came home yesterday afternoon. THe pain is much better than when I was in the hospital. I havent had too much nausea. I almost have 35 grams of Protein in me and the day is still young. Just do what your doctor says to do and you should be fine. :)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
