Amanda403 21 Posted May 27, 2018 Hello All! I am having a hard time processing my feelings about my surgery so I am starting a blog. I have never edited video before so hopefully I can get better. This first video is longer than what the rest will be. I go for my preop appointment this Thursday. I will be recording parts of that experience. I am not sure if this will help anyone, but it will hopefully help me at the bare minimum. Thanks and and good luck! Surgery is June 11. So two week away! 1 Awesome1981 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Frustr8 7,886 Posted May 27, 2018 Hey @ Amanda403, you are going to be fine! Are you going to be on YouTube? And what are you going to call it? Maybe something like "Anxious Amanda gets Her Sleeve"?👉😧👈 1 1 blacklioness72 and Amanda403 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

charlotte0606 56 Posted May 27, 2018 I started my liquid diet on May 24th. It's going okay except that I am really tired. [/url] Me too, this is terrible. I am not a napper unfortunately, and getting enough sleep is already a problem in my life. Anyways, 8 more days to go Sent from my LG-H831 using BariatricPal mobile app Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Frustr8 7,886 Posted May 27, 2018 I hope you two stay together, Carrie and Rachel the other LGBT Couple on YouTube, that was sad enough but people polarized into Team Carrie and Team Rachel, I enjoyed both their stories and I,did not choose either one.👭👍 1 Amanda403 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Beebee8 6 Posted May 28, 2018 Hey, I’m scheduled for the 8th June 2018 in the uk. 224lbs before pre op diet xHi Pinkxxx, I am a few days before you on June 4th & starting at 17st (238lb). Not many of us Brits on here! I'm a Londoner but am having the Op in the Czech Republic - would have loved to have it in the UK but didn't want to pay £12k or have to jump through endless hoops to get it on the NHS! Best of luck to you - not long now! 1 Laughing Bird reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
