Ohhhh ok now I get it. I have acid reflux but my Dr says it doesn't look bad so he suggests me starting with the sleeve because my Iron is low and if I were to get the bypass I may have to go in once a week to get an iv infused with Iron I said yea no way so he said start with the sleeve take my meds and see if its okay at least I still have an option opposed to going straight for the bypass there is no option left.

Exactly what I did! I started with the sleeve and if I had not had the reflux...I would've stuck with it. It's an excellent tool.

My surgery is October 26th hopefully I won't need a revision ugh I would hate to have to go through this nervousness again.

Good luck to you Yvonne47 and many blessings on a successful journey! This is an odd place for us so we are all here to lend support, to get support and keep each other lifted. Stay focused on your end result and you will do GREAT!

I wish I was in Plano. Since I’m cash pay I have to go to Lancaster since it’s the cheapest out of pocket hospital. So we will be in car at 3:45. Eeek! Where are you coming in from?



We’ve got this, just got to get past these nerves!

Near downtown! We will leave at about 4a to ensure we get there with a few minutes to spare. I'm so tickled to have connected with someone that has the same date and time! What's on your menu today? I think I'm going to start with a nectar Apple Ecstasy....23 grams Protein. Clear liquid diet day!!! YAY!!!!!

Who is your surgeon? I’m having a strawberry shake right now. I’m fairly basic in choices lol. I will probably have a gladiator from smoothie King for my dinner since it has 45g of Protein.

Glad we connected! I’m Crystal

I'm enjoying a packet of nectar Apple Ecstasy right now and it's pretty tasty! Gladiator sounds interesting...might need to look that up!

I'm also glad we connected! I'm Karen - it's my pleasure.

There is a few on 9/26. This is my date as well. I have to check in at 7am. I am the second case. But I live an hour and a half away from the hospital. I will have to leave home about 5am. Nerves are kicking in. I am fixing to go take a shower and use the surgical scrub and then have to do it again in the morning. Good luck to everyone tomorrow!!

Good luck to you too. My nerves are in overdrive. I'm the 1st case at 7 so have to get there by 5am. I live about 45 min. away. Smh. Not my first weight loss surgery but sure feels like it.

Not my first either. Wish I could sleep tonight: nerves are in overdrive! Keep thinking what if my liver isn’t small enough or 1000 other things.

H2Neal where is your surgery? And good luck!

Planochick I'm thinking the same thing. Like what is an appropriate liver size? Probably not something the doc even cares about but enough to still have me up stressing.

Okay....positive affirmation time! We SOOOOO got this and we are all going to be healthier and fitter! Let's go 9/26ers!!![emoji4]

My surgery will be in Murfreesboro Tn and I will be having the gastric sleeve. My nerves are all over the place. Wish sleep would come!

[H2neal 40]

I also keep thinking about my liver size as well!! Hope it is small enough. 🤔

[planochick 22]

We’ve got this! Dang that call telling me my surgery will be canceled if my liver is too large. They shouldn’t worry us!

Praying for you, and me, for safe successful procedures. We’ve got this.
