    I have had so many medical issues that this one didn't seems to scary- LOL. But it did make me excited like a school girl. I kept feeling like it was Christmas Eve .... Once the day came, however, I was scared. Honestly, I prayed A LOT!!! I also just kept thinking about how my health would improve, my energy would increase, and I would no longer feel sick all the time. These thoughts helped SO much.

    I know you probably hear it all the time, but this was the best choice ever. I never though I would have a surgery to help with weight. But when the doctor said it would help my blood sugar, I jumped on it. The first two months was rough, but I also had 3 heart attacks 2 weeks after (no worrying thought, I just found out I had a genetic defect- another thing the weight loss helped- my heart). After month two it is like cake!

    I diet and exercise to try and be as healthy as possible. I eat healthy alternatives to my cravings, but indulge occasionally.

    DON"T freak yourself out. It is worth it, and doctors are so amazing now days. Just smile, relax, and prepare for a future that is bright!!!

    Let me know how things go. I will answer ANY questions you have. I am very excited for you!

Hey y'all I am 17 days post op from having the sleeve gastrectomy and I feel great no pain at all any more. The pinching feeling in my lower abdomen where the stomach exited is gone!! I am allowed to eat pureed foods. I was super happy to hear that and I went out and bought; banana's, avocados, cottage cheese, apple sauce and made dinner that night so I could blend it. I had my ah- ha moment when I took my third bite of eggs and I nearly vomited. I knew at that moment nothing was going to be

Hello y'all today marks 8 days since my gastric sleeve. I'm doing very well. Today I was able to get in 80 ounces of liquid. No pAin. I have had two bowl movements I'm sorry not trying to be gross but I was stopped up till today. The doctor says that's normal. I still have hunger pains and my mouth drools for some food lol. Has anyone been through this to. I'm just wondering what else I should expect weeks on out.

I'm 48 hours post op and I know now hard it is for babies to pass gas lol. Every little burp and toot hurt lol. I know now why everyone is saying sip and walk sip and walk. Doing the sipping and walking together helps a lot to psss the gas. I'm more alert today than yesterday and the day before.

I am a little nervous about the surgery. My doctors office called and wanted to know if I would be okay with the local news station filming some of my surgery tomorrow 8/13. I told them not at all. I am excited to see myself on T.V. lol. I know everything will go great and I will be back to life in a day or so. I am hoping I can go home the same night. I want to be back home as quickly as possible I have a lot going on right now. I was in a major four car pile up on Saturday 8/9 and
