I am in houston...april 16

Dont feel sad. I know u dont know me but u have to focus on your recovery. You r the most important part in your revovery. Use this time to take it easy. Watch some good movies. Read a book. Take long naps. Listen to your favorite music. Start a scrap book. Do things that make u happy.

Lets all stay in touch on this forum..r yall nervous? Have yall told anyone? I am so nervous, excited and everything else. Can't wait.

Yes..me too!!! I know there is a beautiful lady underneath all this fat.

Blackberryjuice thank you. You are awesome. Thanks for sharing those pictures. I can't wait to look like that. I can see the improvement in the pictures.

Congratulations on the weight loss. That is great!!! So proud of you. I have about 60 to 80 pounds to loose...so maybe i should start exercising those areas to build muscle.

Question for anyone with similar issues. I had lipo a long time ago on my stomach area so i never gained weight there but i did gain weight in my upper legs and butt. All my weight is there. Question....after weight loss...do upper legs and butt get saggy also? Sorry if it is a dumb question..i just want to be prepared.

Great info..keep posting..this helps a lot.

That is exactly my plan...to many haters out there.

I am the exact same way. I am only 60 to 70 pounds over weight and ii am alreay starting to feel guilty about this whole thing befor having surgery..i am starting to second guess because it is so permanent but the thought of just getting bigger and bigger makes me very sad. I have one son that is very over weight and i think in my mind i want to go thru this to see hoe it feels so that maybe i can help him also. He is only 14 and it breaks myy heart to see him like that. All my other kids have a good weight..so we will see. I cantt chicken out now. My surgery is scheduled for april 16.

I hear osteperosis can be an issue..does anyone regret their sleeve? Would like to hear from folks that have had their sleeve for a while..maybe more than 2 yrs.

Yes..it was fine...it was a vacation for me..excuse for a nice day off.

Probably not..dont feel bad..i am sure u will do great. Think and stay positive..try drinking lots of water.

I hope so..i want to be on the forum stating how much i have lost and helping and encouraging people.

I remember being 125 in high school at one point also and before i got married i was 140...so i will be happy if i get to 140 but i am being greedy and shooting for 125. I am excited and very nervous. I have had a c section and lipo before, but for some reason my mind feels like this is more drastic...even though i think the c section would be worse. It took me 6 weeks to recover from that. It was very painful.

I am close to your stats. My date has been set to april 16 Not from california though. I am from texas. 36 yr old 5'4" 210 Goal weight is 125

I havent even told my mom.only my husband knows an one sister..i have another sister i have not told cause i find her sometimes innocently spilling the beans...so i choose not to tell anyone..when i get the surgery i am just gonna tell my boss it was a hernia fix..which is true as well..i dont like my private life getting out there.

He wont be laughing when u look all sexy...!!!

I would love to hear from people that have been sleeved for a long time..more than 3 years...and give us an update. Have you gained weight back? Have you gotten sick due to anemia or r u healthier than a horse? We want to hear from you.

Hi bubba..we will hv to.stay in touch

Thank you...that is all i think about now
