Hey February 2014 sleevers!

It's sinking in ya'll, we're really doing this!

You bet we're doing it!!! And we are going to look MAUVALOUS DAULING. Well, it might take 6 months but we will!! Sandy I'm so happy to hear you got a surgery date for this month. My date is tomorrow the 10th and I think there are quite a few of us having surgery tomorrow. I'm sure there will be wide range of experiences but I know we will all do well. Get started on all your pre-op stuff and I wish you lots of luck.

Ready!! So excited!

[SandeeD 363]

1Day, yes honey, we are doing the damn thing! I will be thinking of you tomorrow on your surgery date, you must fill me in on everything, good, bad and ugly! lol Sarah, what's your date?

[Sarah Waring2014 25]

My date is 2/13...so close lol

[SandeeD 363]

Yes, it is! Yay!!!

[Sarah Waring2014 25]

I am having a lot of overwhelming feelings and emotions anyone else?

[SandeeD 363]

Absolutely Sarah! For one, my mom is driving me bananas! Everytime I speak to her it's an argument or close to it. It's her passive aggressive way of projecting her fears onto me but it's not gonna happen! She's asked me several times, "Aren't you scared?" I'm like really mom? My reply was, "I would be naïve and stupid NOT to be scared, but I'm more afraid of living the rest of my life in my current condition." It stopped her...for now:) If I have to have less and less communication with her for the next two weeks (during my pre-op diet), then so be it. Don't get me wrong, I love my mother more than life itself, but NOTHING and NO ONE will keep me from doing this FOR ME.

I will be praying/thinking of you and the success of your surgery. Make room for me on the losers bench

My date is 2/13...so close lol

Excitability is the major emotion that I am feeling these days. 18 days to go and I am sure the closer it gets, the more emotionally charged I will feel.

I am having a lot of overwhelming feelings and emotions anyone else?

Good luck, y'all! I'm 3 days post and once I got off morphine, I was great! I had no issues with gas. Just a little nausea now and then.

I do have a question as it seems that the posts in which I have been reading differ. Is there a requirement to have the shots(blood thinners to avoid clotting) post op? Congratulations on your sleeve, continued success on your journey

It's sinking in ya'll, we're really doing this!

It's been a long process! So excited, nervous, i only have 18 days to go also.

[Sarah Waring2014 25]

Hi there! Best of luck to you! My date is 2/24, so I am still 14 days away from my big day! I start liquid diet on Friday, and am kind of worried about being able to do that part. 10 days is a long time! But I am so excited and so committed to this that I hope to be able to sail through it with flying colors!
