  1. Get the sleeve !!! I have heard horror stories. The sleeve is less maintenance.
  2. The people that judge u are jealous!
  3. Just have a taste and throw it away
  4. I too wandered the same thing. I lost 50 pounds by starving myself and I still did not get below 200. I gained back sixty. Nothing fits. I need this for a tool in order to live longer and be healthy for my children. I want to run and play with my kids instead of sitting on the bench watching. I want to skate with the kids. I want to be the happy person that is trapped inside this huge body. I want to stop being the pretty fat girl and to stop hiding behind my own fat jokes. I have to have the surgery in order to live life!
  5. Went to gastro had scope and biopsy done just waiting to follow up with the doctor. Insurance is a nightmare!
  6. Can't wait to stop taking depression medication and to hopefully jump start my thyroid so I don't have to take medication for it.
  7. I have been reading to bring lip balm, small pillow to hold ur stomach, socks to keep ur feet warm.
  8. I am so ready. I have a follow up next week then pre op on April 10th, but I hope I can get the doctor to move the date closer since I don't have to deal with insurance drama.
  9. Hi I am Kim. I am going to be sleeved on April 30th here in Dallas Texas by Dr.Kim. I am hoping they up the date a week or two after my follow up with the doctor next week. I am ready to join the loser bench.
  10. I am ready to shred my Lane Bryant and Avenue cards!!!
