Hello all. Not sure I am posting in the right place. Been stalking the boards for awhile. Having my sleeve done on Monday, October 21 in Fort Myers, Fl. Excited, struggling with pre diet. Apprehensive, am I doing the right thing, I am sure many of you can relate... Advice, words of wisdom?

I considered it before (last year)and then dropped the subject. Finally, I am considering it again and now I have my day scheduled. I think before I was considering it because my dr recommended it and other people recommended it. I hadn't accepted the idea and wasn't ready yet. Only when I decided to do it for me did I realize I was ready. I would say, consider who u r doing it for or why u r doing it. Not sure if that makes sense?

we all felt like that. It's a big decision. I kept putting off for years and waited till I finally had no other option. I was so heavy I could barely get out of bed and my husband had to drive me everywhere - I couldn't even walk a couple of blocks. Don't wait that long the surgery is much more difficult and more risky then. You'll have doubts but just think about how important being thin and healthy is for you. If we could do it without help we would have done it year ago, wouldn't we?

Good luck with your surgery - you;ll be in my prayers. Keep in mind that the first few weeks will be a little rough but before you know it everything will be much easier and you;ll be regretting not having done it sooner. I'm only 4 months out and I can move and walk and exercise so much better already. Let us know how your surgery goes.

I am new here and having my surgery next Monday too! It certainly is a rollercoaster of emotions. I really am glad it's finally here. Wishing you the best and it's good to know that there are others going through this at the same time as me.
