What a wonderful inspiration you have been. Please do not go anywhere after you hit goal, your comments and advice are thought provoking.

My last Hoorah was last night supposably. Went out with the girls and had a Chef Salad. I was all syched about the clear liquid diet. I decided to end the ol'coffe thing also. Well... my husband went fishing very early, I made him coffee last night, automatically it was ready at 5am. Well, he had good intentions, he made me some also before he left. I hear the phone ring, get up out of bed, get on the phone, start talking, pore a cup of coffee and put in my usual Rye tst in the toaster. Before I even realized, a cup of coffee AND toast was gone before I even comprehended what I did. I really thought that my head is in this game. I really can not believe that I was so mindless. So I start now... Any suggestions to help with this pre op process>? I really dread it. I CAN AND WILL DO IT THOUGH!!!!

Praying for you! Big Cyber hug. ((((((((((((squeeze))))))))))))))).

Does any one know if I should purchase those leg things, something like.. circulation socks, before I go to Mexico to wear home on the plane? Will I need them? I have a long flight.

Today is Sunshine's Mom surgery. Keep her in your thoughts and prayers!

Forgive me if I am stepping out of line for I have not been sleevedl. I will be sleeved on Feb 4th. Maybe take into consideration that you do have a little over 3 weeks to prepare. How hard was it for you to get a date? Do you have to travel and did you already make arrangements? For me it would be much harder to change all of that, financially and rearranging. I am not in your position, nor do I even know what that trauma would be like but not being sleeved and putting it off (for me) would be worse than trying to recouparate with my children and husband in the same room. I also do not know what it feels like , after being sleeved, but I have had operations, serious ones and measure it by those experiences. My heart goes out to you and I am so sorry you are suffering such a loss and dealing with this at a this time in your sleeve journey! I pray it all works out.

Dr. Kelly, can not wait!!!

So sorry you are feeling bad. Hope you feel better really soon. God Speed!!!!!

Congrats!!! What an insiration that is to me. I have a few pair of jeans that Ihave held on to and would love to be in one day. I can not wait to be sleeved!!!

Last time I logged on, everytime I would try to open a "recent topic", a window would open about creating a new ticker. I do not know if it had anything to do with me just making my ticker yesterday but it was very annoying. That is nothing though, I am not complaining (Alex,)lol, just saying. I LOVE VST!!! It just might have to do with me and my computer considering I know my computer is not up to date on the lastest versions of the best browsers. I am not very computer savvy. It works ok for me right now so don't fix what is not broken. I was messing with things a few days ago and I thought I messed up my connection to VST, only to find out later the sight went down for a day or so. So glad it is back up.

Good point, I was letting my nerves from flying get the best of me. I will contact my Dr.

I know I have to call my Dr. office and/or surgeon but off hand, has any experienced being medicated before and after sleeve surgery for the reason to fly. I hate to fly on an airplane and it just hit me, I wonder if I will be able to take a prescribed type of seditive before each flight? I really hope so. I am flying into MX the day before my surgery and flying home 4 days post op. It shouldn't be an issue, medically speaking concerning the surgery or post op my sleeve.

What site is it that you graph your loss on? A visual would definitely help when experiencing stall. Like you said, you kind of know what to expect. P.S. I like following your progress, I kinda watch your ticker ( for) I noticed a long time ago that we are the same height and started around the same weight. I know everyone is different but it is inspiring. thanks

I sure will, I plan on sharing. It might take me a few days because I will not have excess to a computer but when I get home I will.

A few reasons. Insurance reasons, another is I feel more comfortable with the Drs. there that have had way more experience with this surgery. That does not go for any place in Mx but I am positve of my choice with the surgeon I have chosen.

Almost....lol... what Dr? Happy trails to you there and back!!!

Thats funny, I wouldn't tell her either.

Anyone.... out there lol

Welcome, Hang in there and KEEP POSTING! You will learn so much from here. Way more here than in any Dr. office for 30min. a time.

Funny you bring this up, I wrote a post on hear this last week about a coworker that has become a pretty good freind at work. She is not in management, she can not fire me but I answer to her. She is in an authority position. Long story short, I mentioned to her that I was looking into be sleeved. She is quite large also. She had become crazy about the subject. She is the only person that I spilled my guts to besides my husband. Now months later I am being sleeved. I decided to take her out to lunch and tell her this is what I am doing because I do not want to be in the position to lie to her because I do not want plan on sharing with anyone else. I have made plans with her for lunch but now am chickening out b/c I am afraid of her reaction. When I shared before she seemed jealous or bitter about it, I really did not understand it. I do not want to lose her friendship but I think I am starting to realize that I really probably did not have it in the first place, that is if how she reacted earlier is any indication. We will see. Why do you ask, what is your situation?
