Well, I did it, this is two days post-op. My is, Dr Jaime Ponce De Leon, at INT Hospital. The entire staff was great. I suggest you have a friend of family member who speak Spanish to contact if you need something important translated. I had my sister and mom, ready. I did needed to call them a couple times just for accuracy of what I needed to do. The gas pain was on level 1-10 a full 10. My son hit my back to help me burp. It look like I was trying to throw up, but, it was the gas tapped at my throat. If burping it calm down until next time. I had about 3-4 of those episodes. My son forced me to walk. Him being here with me was my lifesaver. Day 2 is so much better. My three meals were ice. I haven't elated sick Friday, today is Tuesday. So I've lost 9lbs.

One more week to go. Monday the 23rd is my gastric sleeve day. This change will start the rest of my life, positively. I'm more focus now on my pre-op diet. I'm not a highly private person, so, I've been sharing. I'm a Hairstylist, I've been sharing with my close clients, my up and coming life change. It's amazing the responses I've gotten.  I realize that people put their own fear and concern on me.  I am however, staying focus and my decision is final. I share to help someone who may need it. I also want a little support or encouragement and opinions. I've been surprised at some who are very supportive. I won't speak on the negative ones.  I love the, "I don't think you need it, but, I support you and will pray for you." Moral of this: know what you want to do before you start sharing. When it's against what you want, others will reflect their views on you, strongly.  DO YOU

I'm scheduling my VSG for May 23rd. Reading some post, I don't know. Will I be making the biggest mistake of my life. I read about regrets like, acid reflux, can't eat, can't socialize, can't keep weight on, cries from regrets, malnourished, loss of shape. I have two boys to live for. I'm 5'3" weight 225 and 45 years old. I'm tired of being fat. Tired of dieting and starving myself to just start eating a little again and gaining weight. I want to experience being 150lbs adult, who can fit close/pants from Express, Nordstrom etc. without going to the plus size section. I know everyone is different but what if I'm one of the unlucky ones. Help me lord ????????????????
