Nervous and Excited!

By Kellypenrose76

So I have seen my surgeon on 11/15, did all my pre-op testing and now I'm just fighting to get my surgeon all the test results!!! I want to schedule my surgeon before I syke myself out and not do it. I have been overweight most of my life and over the past two years I am the heaviest I have ever been. As everyone here I have tried so many things to lose weight and have become so depressed that nothing has worked. I'm a nurse and am on feet 12 hours a day and notice that my knees are starting to bother me more than normal and know that all this extra weight on my is not helping. I have heard great success stories from people who now someone who has had this story and really am ready to get this done.

    I've tried the Isopure too, I think it is the smell that turns you off of it, it has that protein smell to it. Good luck to you both I can't wait till I have my date..... :)

    Hi Kelly! I hope you get your date soon. I had been having knee issues also, years of sports haven't helped. I got sleeved Christmas Eve 2012 and so far I'm down 13lbs in 5 days. There have been ups and downs but the way I look at it, the aches and pains of healing are much easier to handle than the aches and pains associated with being so heavy. I wish you lots of luck, this site is AWESOME for advice. Keep us posted on your progress :)

    Good Luck! I moved very fast from when I decided to do it and when I was sleeved it was just two months. I was sleeved 11/15 I am 6 weeks out. Day by day it was easier then I thought and harder then I thought if that makes any sense.
