My surgery is in 2 Days!
I can hardly believe that I'm sitting here right now getting ready for surgery in 2 days! It's been such an amazing 2 weeks. It was the Friday before last when I actually started the process again (having tried 5 years ago unsuccessfully). I definitely feel like it was meant to be. I know normally most people have to wait several agonizing months before being able to get their surgery so when I started the process 2 weeks ago I had no idea that I would be sitting here preparing to go into the hospital in 2 days!!
I am beyond words.... I cannot wait to start this new life changing journey and I really look forward to meeting many new friends to share this unforgettable experience with!
So happy for you!! Weight loss surgery gave me my life back. Remember it will be hard all along the way. This is no "free-ride". It gets easier in some ways and then harder in others. a roller coaster for sure but definitely worth it.
Best wishes for a speedy recovery!!

Hi everyone! Yes I am home ni went in on the 25th of January (Monday) and I was back home on Thirsday. Everything went well. I just experienced some pain for the first few days but pain meds helped a lot. I feel so tired all the time still even though I did go back to work the following Tuesday. I'm also experiencing some Nausea and water doesn't seem to be going down as smoothly as other liquids. Good thing is that I have already lost 25lbs!!! So exciting! Still very excited and optimistic about this journey!!
Congratulations! Glad to hear you're doing so well. 25 lbs. is amazing!! I think it's totally normal to feel kinda wiped out yet. Keep sipping!
