Hi Geneviève,

Thank you so much to let me posted on Keith's surgery. I'm so happy that everything went well. I'm glad he was one of the patient who were able to stay for the night. Like they say, "Better be safe than sorry. Most of all, you're telling me he is in good spirits and it's one of the main thing.

I sure would be pleased to go for a coffee and maybe answering some questions Keith might have. As you say, we're not staying far from each other.

I'll say it over and over again, I don't regret for a second to say yes for my surgery. For me it's a miracle coming true.

I don't think Keith has any regrets either. I asked him when he woke up from the anesthesia and later on last night and he seemed happy about getting the surgery, no regrets whatsoever. I am happy that he feels that way. It is going to make the transition easier for him and for our family.

I just got off the phone with him, he is tired. He had a semi-private room just in front of the nurse station and he said they were loud all night. He got no sleep at all. I have the feeling he will be sleeping quite a bit when he gets home to peace and quiet. But besides being tired he is feeling well. He has not taken any pain medications yet. He says that the pain isn't bad enough to take anything. (Maybe he is just being stubborn too.. ha!ha!). Well with that being said, I'm going to head down to the hospital and wait with him for Dr. Savoie to make his rounds. I am pretty sure Keith will be posting on here later on today!!!

He will operate on me on November because my BMI is High and he want to prepare his medical team a bit more because he havent done much surgery in summer. :blushing:

Bonjour Keith,

Tu n'y vas pas avec le dos de la cuillère . . . déjà 41 livres, SUPER!! Pour ma part j'ai moi aussi perdu 41 livres mais cela m'a pris plus longtemps que toi. Que veux-tu, quand on est une femelle de 50 ans, le "body" ne veut pas toujours faire ce que l'on voudrait. J'ai pour la première fois, bloqué à cause d'un boeuf "Strogonoff" depuis hier midi. J'ai pu mangé ce soir mais j'ai du resté debout sinon cela faisait mal. Il a fallu que je revienne au Boost diabétique pour une journée bien que cela soit encore sensible.

Hello, I sent my request in December of 2008 and will be seeing him for the time at the end of october, so it took a while before i got an appointement.....don't give up, your time will come.

Hi everyone. I was wondering how many times you have to see Dr. Savoie before you get your surgery date. I've had all the blood work done and saw Dr. Savoie back in January. Then I had a follow up with him in early Sept/09. He explained the surgery and said he'd see me again in a month. My next appt is Oct 19/09. Is this when I will go on the boost?

Thanks :)

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
