Scared to be SKINNY
don't stress about how others will or have treated you I can completely relate to you im 22 soon to be 23 dec 26 yaaaaye lol but I've never been bullied in my past on restricted from certain opportunities in life so as of oct 17 I've been sleeved im taking that date as a new bday forget my past failures or the friends who were my friends temporarily look forward to how much healthier you'll be im so scared of being small ihave no idea what type of face I'll be having but it adds to excitedness lol people will forever always have a opinion or pick on someone to uplift themselves just focus on your goals all other things will not matter goodluck<3

OCTOBER 2011 SLEEVE ROSTER
goodluck to everyone being sleeved today! the worst part for me was when I woke up in recovery sore throat i felt like a fish out of water my first words were thirsty lol I was in pain level 8 but as everyone says with each day you get better the hard part will be over then its all about just following surgeons orders I promised myself no matter how much pain im in I would not come on this forum complaining with any type of remorse to possibly discourage any other future sleevers im basically 3 days post op && feeling more stronger && alert each day so once again goodluck all god bless<3

OCTOBER 2011 SLEEVE ROSTER
hopeful that's really early!!! yeah my focus has switched to just focusing on getting through surgery. I umderstand what you mean about the diets smh they never last long term! wow I had no idea you were 66, I can only imagine how much harder life has been for you.im going to look for that book also love hearing about others experiences. My family youtubed the surgery they started. getting so worried they thought the bigger portion of my stomach stays inside me I said nooooooo lol are you crazy! im just glad they're being so supportive of me. I will be sure to share my experience with everyone wish you bunches of luck<3 Glad you are holding up okay. Don't worry now about people changing now. Just think about getting through the surgery tomorrow beautifully and coming out on the other side when the worst part will be over! That is what I am thinking. My surgery is scheduled at 8am and I have to be at th hospital at 5:45 am tomorrow morning!!! This means I have to wake up at 4 am!!! I am happy to have it in the morning so my this time tomorrow I will be (hopefully) be in recovery waiting to go to my room and see my friends!

who did you tell?
I've told everyone for me my decision is just that MY DECISION lol ofcourse I received the your not even that big from everyone it seems like there's a stigma on obesity so my reply to them is but im not even that small one friend told me omg your going to look like star Jones my response to that is star had gb im having the band (now sleeve thank god I did more research) also im much younger than her my dr thinks that my facial features won't be drastically altered but my point is everyone is going to have a opinion or think they know your body better than you but in the end it comes down to what you want for yourself as my date nears closer Monday the 17th more of my friends are being supportive goodluck on your journey<3
