Aunt GG 43 Posted January 30, 2014 Hi everyone. I just joined this afternoon. This site seems to be amazing! I am having my sleeve surgery on 2/24/14, and am just so excited! I can't wait to start my new life! There is a little bit of nervousness and even some self doubt creeping in now that it is getting closer, but I know that I can do this, and do it well! That's all for now, just wanted to say hello to everyone! 7 SlowlybutSurely, JerseyGirl68, LilMissDiva Irene and 4 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fotogrphr 69 Posted January 30, 2014 Welcome to the forum. I had my surgery on 1/20 and am doing great. I was very nervous but it all was easy and the pain was well controlled. I spent a lot of time worrying for nothing. Now I am on the " losers bench " with only good things ahead. Good luck to you! 1 Aunt GG reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LindafromFlorida 1,542 Posted January 31, 2014 Hi Fred, my husband was scared to death, but I was more scared what would happen to him if he did not have the sleeve. We are both 2 months post op and extremely happy. I am off Metformin, and we are both off one BP med each, and both have lost over 40 lbs in 2 months. This surgery has been a Godsend. I don't know your age but I wish we had done this 10 years ago. Best wishes!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aunt GG 43 Posted January 31, 2014 Wow, Thank you everyone for your kind words and your support! Congratulations to those of you who are already on your journey to a longer, healthier life, and to those of you who are counting the days until surgery (like I am), I wish you the very best of luck for a speedy recovery, and much much success!
