Hello Eraser,
Are you as nervous as I am? I have hives on my face. I also can't sleep. Are you having the rny? I originally planned on having the rny then I decided not to have any surgery until I was told about the vsg. Well we'll have to stay in touch. Lisa

Rebecca,
I really appreciate your good wishes. I hope all goes well with my surgery and for Eraser also. How is the weather there? Here in the UP we have had very cold weather. Lisa

Thanks Rebecca!

Lisa, I am nervous, anxious, scared, but relieved as well as the surgery day will be here soon enough, and then it will be in the past.

I am having the RNY, I researched all the surgeries available and VSG was a very close 2nd place for me.

Try to think about all the things your pre-op size prevented you from doing, and how post-op they can come possible, that usally gets me to sleep (Ahhh....skiing again, hockey, not having to find a Casual Male XL store for clothes, motorcycling, biking, hiking........ZzzzzzZzzzzzzz)

Eraser,
I never thought about those things. I'm so afraid of dying and leaving my family. I have 2 kids and I want them to grow up with a healthy mom. I need to get this done for them and for myself. Let's keep in touch whenever we can. Good luck to you! Lisa


Milady,
Thank you for the good wishes. I always enjoy your posts you are such a positive person for this forum you bring nothing but inspiration to others. Lisa

Kasey,
Glad to hear from you and yes we need to stick together and share our experiences. I hope you, Eraser, and me stay in touch. If I don't hear from either one of you before surgery good luck! Lisa
