  1. I'm 5'8 :] Thank you for the kind words...I will definatly keep y'all posted on how surgery goes! right before me! Good luck!!! you'll do amazing!
  2. I hope I'm like y'all!! I'm so nervous about being in lots of pain all week. not to mention, the hunger games movie comes out the day after my surgery and I want to see it ASAP! haha I'm hoping I'll feel good like you girls and I can get out and about with in a few days! Did y'all have any trouble drinking enough water?
  3. good luck!!! I think I almost cracked when I got my surgery date---lol it's a weird feeling being so excited for something but so nervous all at the same time! I, too, have a wonderful hubby that is thin and supportive..but just can't fully understand all of these emotions. It's like going through a really bad break up with food. But it'll be okay when we get a brand new awesome relationship with new cute clothes, right? Anyway---good luck girl! :]
  4. Hey everyone! I'm having surgery on march 22nd! anyone else? Congrats to everyone here..I knw this is an exciting time for all of us!! :]
  5. All clear it is... :] Thanks so much!
  6. Thank you so much!! mustaches are fun...lol
  7. Yeah I am...I've done awful on it though!!! I'm 4 days away from surgery now so I have to do it perfectly from here on out!
  8. I've screwed up on the diet A LOT!! I'm 4 days out from surgery now....do I have enough time to shrink my liver if I follow it to the T now, or do I need to push back my surgery? I don't want to change my surgery date at all, but if doing the surgery with only 4 days pre op diet is going to mess up my surgery then I'd rather move it back. Anyone know what I should do?
  9. Hi! My name is Bethany and I am having my sleeve done on Thursday 03/22! I am so excited/nervous!! I currently weigh 263 and my goal is 150. I went last year to a seminar done by another doctor in my area and loved him---but didn't feel like his staff were very helpful. After looking at my insurance I was told that I did not qualify and then they sent me on my way with no further instruction. So after a few months my husband thought I should go to a different doctor that he had heard about so I went on to one of their siminars expecting to be told the same thing about my insurance. D. Penningtons staff were amazing!!! they helped me figure out exactly what I needed to qualify with my insurance and were able to get a pre approval for me! So noe here I am just a few days from surgery! I really would like to have someone I can talk to through all of this and so if anyone is going through the procedure close to the same time as me...let me know and we can be pen pals or something
