I'm a closet sleever whose doing this alone. Today was my last day at work because my procedure is scheduled for Tuesday. While updating my out of office for work email & updating my voice mail, it hit me. As I would tell my girlfriends......"This *ish is REAL!!" The waiting is over! From 1/2013 to 7/2013, I'm finally here. I've been to the required support groups, the consultations, the psych evals, the 3 months with the Nut, the EGD, the H Pylori meds, (ugh) the tears from being denied the 1st time around, the excitement of being approved from the appeal, the scheduled date FINALLY!! (the longest holiday weekend of my LIFE!) the PreOp class, My RX & "how to" on how to administer the blood thinner injections, once I get home. (and I'm TERRIFIED of needles) Telling my coworkers I'm going out for gall bladder surgery to this very moment. I don't know how I should feel. I've read many books & I've scanned many blogs. I'm stocked up on food & prayers!! I have enough chicken broth, beef broth, vegetable broth, seafood broth, jello, pudding, protien powders, syntrax nectar powders, isopure RTD, liquid whey protein tubes, chewable vitamins, chewable iron, applesauce, sugar free drink packets & bottled water to last me through to December!! lol.....No...seriously! Thank you all for your support, your guidance & for emails I've received. We are all in this together & I'm looking forward to crossing over into my new beginning very shortly.

I'll be right there with you on the 30th - walk, walk, sip,sip,

I start on Thursday! Good luck guys! We CAN DO THIS!!!

Sounds like you are off to a great start....you sound so POSITIVE...that is great to hear...still waiting to be banded...nice stories like this are so reassuring.... Hope you continue to feel and look great!

Thx so much, I am going through Beliteweight and my doctor is Dr. Rodriquez. I leave Wednesday night and I come back on Saturday. This was the best option for me financially so I did my research decided Mexico would be my best option. I'm going alone so I'm real nervous. I just hope everything goes smoothly with no problems.

I'm am so excited, I don't know what to do!! I'm having gastric sleeve surgery on Thursday in Mexico, with Dr. Jose Rodriguez. I can barely contain myself, I can expect minimal amount of sleep for the next few days. So sleevers!! Any advice for me? Will the pain be bad? I also go to school and I'm trying to go back to class on Monday, how will that be? Also, when did you guys start doing any physical activity? I want to start playing basketball again as soon as possible, how long should I wait? Any advice helps sleevers!! Will keep you guys updated on my status!! Toodles!!
