Surgery in 2 days

 So I am a hot nervous mess!   I can't remember the last time I was so nervous and anxious all at the same time!   I have done my research and I am prepared (as much as I can be)   I keep trying to find someone with a story of weight like mine so I have something to compare to.  Im 5'5 230lbs   No clue what to expect for weight loss but I am going to follow the rules and change my life!

awesome for you!! Good luck!

All good thoughts sent your way.  Best of luck on your journey and new way of life! 

Don't be nervous, you will do fine.  I had surgery last wed. and it is not bad at all.  Getting up to walk with my c-section was 80% more painful than the vsg, the pain is very tolerable.  Day 2 was the worst and take the pain medication and like I said it is tolerable. 
Walk every hour, it truly helps and each day gets better.
Best wishes to you!

I am 51, much older than you.  I am 5'5" and started at 236.  Today I am 150 with 14 lbs to go. 6 months and a week out.  This has been the best thing I have ever done and I have tried all of the weight loss games.  Welcome to a healthy and deliriously happy life!  FOLLOW the rules.  I can't tell you anything of greater value than that.  Drink your fluids, move your body, and follow your docs plan.  Do that and there is no way(weigh) that you won't be a huge success. 

 Lisa CONGRATULATIONS!!!!  That is amazing and it gives me lots and lots of faith that I too will reach my goals!

 Thank you So much!   1London I was told it was just like the c-section but to hear it is easier than it eases some of the nerves!  I tolerated all 3 of my c-sections so I am hoping this will be so much easier!

Congrats and sending blessing of happy healing your way!!! I am anxiously counting down the days until 8/18 when I have my surgery!! WOOOHOO Go us!!

 Lots and lots of happy thoughts your way!!! ;)

You are gonna be fine!! I am 5'5 and started (not my highest) surgery at 235.. The sleeve has been nothing but easy, and has changed my life!
