Yasmina I love your name! It is arabic right, is that what your origin is? I named my daughter Aneesa which is arabic and I loved the meaning of the name, it means "loyal friend".

Thanks guys for the support, This is pretty much the only place I get it.

Carmen thinks if he aviods talking about it , my surgery date will come and go and I will not have it done. I have brought it up at least 5 times in the past week since the date was set, " he can't talk about it because it stresses him out" Well havingmore then one ass stress me out !

Thank you about the name, My first name is actually Vian, only a few people call me that. I am Ukrannian, kind of a Arabic want a be. I have been studying the language and dance ( Belly dance for several years. That is when I decided to go by my middle name. Love the culture, and of course the dark men LOL.

I love to Belly Dance ,the music the movements the was you learn to isolate muscles, it is great. We have a troupe and we dance 5 nights a week. Every three months we travel to Toronto to perfect our technique . That is one of the main reasons while we are going to Egypt. For the dance ? costumes.

Yes mandi , I cook for my dog. I don't have children so she is like my child who I have turned into a spoiled princeness. I live in Thunder Bay, amd it gets pretty cold, well she will not go pee outside without sweater, jacket and boots. I do thie because I do not want pee inside ! LOL At 6 a.m. it really sucks ! :notagree

Tres Chic,

Are you flying in to the clinic? or are you from the Toronto area ?

I live in Toronto, so thankfully, there's no travelling. I have to say, I'm getting pretty nervous now. I'm sleeping about 4 hours a night and having some epic dreams! How about you?

I got a call fro TLBC and they moved my surgery up from 12.30 to 11.00. Guess they don't want to miss lunch !

I will now have less time to be stressed over it, as I arrive in Toronto at 8a.m. and by the time I get down town and check into the hotel, it will be time to go there. OH MY GOD. There has got to be drugs for this ! LOL

Carmen gets that pleasue, but princess Breana gets pissy when I go away; and like any good Bision Frise holds a big grudge. Will not go outside unless fully clothed ( jacket sweater, boots ) and even then ,may not pee outside if you are rushing her. She sits her little bum down and will do anything until back inside where she will pee on the nearest throw rug. Have a great weekend Carmen ! LOL

I was told that Vitamin E was the best thing to put on the scar to help it heal . How long do I have to wait to do this ?

I was told to wait ten days before I take off the strips.

I just don't want an infection ! ;)

wait until the scabs from the incisions are healed over before adding anything to it. Should be somwhere in the 10 to14 days range. Good to know you are healing bell.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
