Sabrina,
I just sent you a message. I see you had Dr. Khran. I am getting sleeved on the 12th with him as well. I am really excited! I am not nervous yet, but I am sure I will be the day of surgery. How are you doing?

I am on my way to the hospital...thanks for everyone's encouragement and support!

Good luck to you! You will be just fine and we'll save you a seat on the losers bench!

Thanks, Nancy!

I never did get nervous. When you know the decision is right, there is no need for worry!! Good luck and speedy recovery to you!!

I just got mine but haven't wore them yet. I just tried them out. They are very noisy hehe

Thank you for all of your opinions and stories!
I've decided to be upfront and announce it on Facebook. I hope everyone will be understanding and a few of my friends might be considering the surgery themselves, so I want to be supportive of them as well. If there's any negativity, I'm going to ignore, although the people who usually comment on my Facebook posts are my close friends who are always supportive, so I don't think that will happen.
Thanks everyone!

Thank you all so much for understanding. I know it could have been much worse, but it was upsetting enough as it was. I can't wait to be on the other side of this.

I started out thinking that I wasn't going to tell a soul. Throughout my year long journey, I have decided that I am a fool if I think people won't find out. I work at an auction where I see the same people week after week. They will all have questions about how I lost the weight. Undoubtedly, they will ask another person who is helping them and be told. I am not a fool to think that people at my work will not say anything.
I also know that my husband would have not kept it a secret. I decided not to set him up for failure and just give him my permission to tell.
Then I decided, the whole dang world can know because I don't care. When the customer's at my work ask why I am going to be off work, I just tell them point blank. Everyone I have told is very supportive (at least to my face )
If they decide to bash me behind my back about the surgery, they would definitely talk bad about me regardless of the subject.
My only fear in telling everyone is that I don't lose any weight and look like a failure.

thats awsome good luck

I get mine on Tuesday, too!!

Operations and hospitals can be very scary. You're letting someone else have control of your body. But it will be over so quickly and you'll be so happy you did this. Keep your eye on the prize!

Yes, I'm extremely nervous all of a sudden. But, I couldn't be happier.

My date is June 12th.. just found out today. How exciting and nerve racking at the same time.

congrats!!!!

I have been trying for approval since last June. I was first going to get the Lap Band but after researching info, decided to go with the sleeve. I finally got my surgery date. I am going in on June 12 for the procedure. I am getting nervous now.. Is anyone else going in on the 12th?
