Finally getting my WLS

[ssflbelle 829]

Eight years ago I tired for the lap band and was denied. Today I am finally going into surgery weighing 183 pounds less. I am having my gallbladder and a possible umbilical hernia removed and having sleeve surgery so I can lose the remaining 160 pounds. My surgery time is 12:30. Not being able to drink anything is really causing my throat to hurt. But if I can be 155 again it is all worth it. I am so tired of being this weight and hoping and praying I will be able to walk again despite the injury to my back and hips. If I can't walk again at least after the weight loss I can get additional surgery so I can walk again and enjoy all the things I use to do before the injury. Please say some prayers that all goes well and there are no complications. This is so much more then sleeve surgery, it is the 2 other surgeries as well and the start of a new life at age 60.

Good luck. I hope all goes well. I too am close to 60 and being sleeved in April (hopefully if I get approved by my insurance). Let us know how you are doing

Reach for the stars. You won't just walk, you might even run!

Congrats and best wishes on your surgery!

Thanks I came home Thursday. Am still not feeling well. I can stomach a popsicle but Soup, and Protein Shakes are cuasing my stomach to do the flip flop and I get the dry heaves., I am very tired but today can't seem to sleep. I did have the three procedures and I am sure that is why I am feeling so out of it. I go to the surgeon on Wednesday for a follow up.
