WOO-HOO!!!!!!

Financing in place and surgery scheduled for June 12th with Dr. Aceves. So it looks like Ruthgrosvenorcox, my DBF and I will be headed to Mexico to change our lives and our health. :unsure:

Looking forward to it being over and finally being able to get this weight off and keep it off for good! Anyone else having surgery around that time? Let us know -- we'll have a party to Celebrate :)

Congratulations! I'm so happy for you.

Thank you -- I hope my recovery goes as well as you, Susan and WasA. It will be nice to have someone else down there with me, although Ruthi has been through the wringer, so I am sure this surgery will be a breeze for her. Me, on the other hand, this will be my first major surgery. ;):eek6:

I have had my gallbladder out (lap), been banded (lap), and am now 5 weeks post-op from the VSG (lap). I have to say the VSG was the easiest of them all. I was worried about traveling home alone on a 6 hour flight but the pain was minimal. It feels like you did a ton of sit-ups and the more you move, the better you feel. You're both going to do great.

WASA was sick when she had her revision and had a longer recovery but did great as well.

Fantastic! Congrats to you!

Thanks WasA. I am sure I will have many questions beforehand and probably a million more afterwards -- consider this fair warning to you, Elizabeth and *Susan*.

Yeah!!! I had my sleeve surgery on 4/28/09 and I'm feeling great!

Did you go to Dr. Aceves? If you did, we were there at the same time. My surgery was 4-29

Congratulations Angel! That's only a month from now and I am sure the time will fly by!

A really good friend of mine is there right now. She had sleeve surgery yesterday.

Yay for the sleeve! We are all going to be living happier lives!

Thanks Daisy --

I am sure as fast as the first 4 months of the year flew by, June will be here before I know it. I'm looking forward to it being over and seeing the weight come off -- I know it will be work, I've battled weight my entire life -- however, this time the work will be gratifying in knowing that the weight won't come back!

Happy to be going with someone else, too -- and even happier that Ruthie doesn't have to go alone. I wouldn't be entirely alone as my DBF is going with me ... Ruthie was going to do it all on her own, so now I'm happy she will have the support of me and Bob (my DBF):glare:

I went by myself. Sometimes it amazes me that I did. I don't like to do anything alone. Anytime I want to do something, I call friends and if they can't go, I just stay home.

I still can't believe I got on a plane,went to a strange airport, drove with strangers to a strange hospital, and had surgery where they removed a good majority of my stomach.

Just goes to show how strong you can be when it is for something you REALLY want ... think of all the possibilities ahead of you now that you've done all this on your own!!!

I am really anxious to be off this stupid but necessary liquid diet so I can really see how the sleeve works.

Elizabeth and Susan were not hungry but I am starving most of the time. My stomach just growls and growls. I really hope when I move to full liquids on Sunday, this will improve. This is, by far the only thing hard about this entire process.

Hi

I'm from the UK and I had my surgery in Czech Republic on 24/03/2009 and its the best thing I've ever done, I wish I had done it earlier now.

I'm sure you will be fine. All the best for the surgery.

Take Care.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        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!
