mrs w 56 Posted January 2, 2016 I'm done with everything I go see my surgeon nd the rest of the team Monday January 4th then I have my surgery on January 13th I've told my family but they don't believe me so I'm in it by myself bcuz it seems like my fiancee isn't backing me up on anything anymore so I'm in it to win it for myself by myself I just pray that I don't have no fall backs good luck everyone Don't let the worrying about not having your family's support stress you out, or you could make yourself sick over it. Just focus on you and only you right now. It's too bad you have to take this journey alone, but it will make you stronger in the end. My husband and parents are not exactly supportive, but they've acknowledged that it's happening and my parents are going to come the day of surgery in case there are any complications. My husbands biggest concern is the Mexico detail, but I knew I'd never get approved in Canada and it was way too expensive in the States, so this is the path I'm going.

tam_mandala 33 Posted January 2, 2016 I TOTALLY understand! This is Day 4 for me. I've told my husband he can't eat near me. It's getting easier...but, it is definitely not easy. What keeps me focused is that I know I need to do this for a SAFE surgery and a smaller liver. I didn't get this far, go thru the 6 month wait for insurance approval for NOTHING! I wasn't prepared for the desire to have real food during this 2 week pre op liquid diet...every smell is magnified.. Ugh sipping on my shake while hubby is eating pizza..Lord give me strength Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
b17083 14 Posted January 2, 2016 Had surgery on Dec 18th, have 60 -80lbs to go. So far this is doable. I'm on pureed which is not nearly as bad as I worried. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grace818 13 Posted January 3, 2016 My sleeve surgery is scheduled for February 3. I was supposed to have sleeve surgery on October 21 but wound up being diagnosed with kidney cancer in Sept. The cancer was completely removed in October and I got the all clear from the kidney surgeon to proceed with the sleeve surgery. I go for preadmission testing and a last consult with the bariatric surgeon on Jan 14. At that time ill find out what kind of pre-op diet I need. I'm glad to have found this group!
