You are beautifu! And congrats on everything!!

Wow - good for you!!! Congratulations!!!

So glad you had such a great time, Lissa!!!

Thanks everyone! I had a great flight and am now in my hotel room. Tomorrow is the big day!

I will be flying into San Diego this afternoon and will be going in for my surgery tomorrow in Tijuana. Thank you to everyone who has provided me support thus far. I can't wait to be a part of the loser's bench and help others know what to expect from this life-changing event! Please say prayers for a smooth surgery and recovery! I will post when I can! Hugs, Gena'

Same here... thin, fine hair already. My sister is a registered dietitian and she also said PROTEIN! I am taking biotin and vitamins to aid the process anyway!

Yay!

Hope all is well, Smoggy --- in my thoughts and prayers!

Congrats on being able to have surgery tomorrow! We will do great!

Thanks for sharing, Smoggy! And I love the accent!

Thanks for your post and video! You are looking good - keep it up!

Yes, keep us posted! Prayers are with you both!

Thanks so much for your update! It helps us pre-sleevers to know what to expect! I will be walk, walk, walking as much as possible post-op!

very cool... thanks for sharing! can't wait until I lose some of mine, too!

So sorry to hear this smoggy!

I am with you... I have been on liquids since Tuesday and today is my first day of all clears. My diet says no soda on the 3 days of all clears, but I don't see that it would hurt for you to drink some juice to get your sugars up. I will be with Dr. Almanza on Tuesday. Too bad we won't run into each other! Good luck!

I am so sorry you are having trouble. Try and keep your head up - I know its hard (I suffer from depression, too). You will be in my prayers!

Thank you so much for your story. I am having surgery on Tuesday and feel at peace with it all. I am sure I will get a little nervous once I am there and ready to go. Thank you so much for your prayers for us pre-oppers. My biggest fear is to have complications or not heal properly. I pray that I go through it all as smoothly as you did. Stay in touch with us all!

I know, Patrick, I am starting to get a little nervous now!!!!!

I am so sorry that this is happening to you. You will get through this! Prayers sent your way!

Good luck! Praying for a smooth recovery.

I hope I look as good as you in a bikini next summer! You look great!

Reading your post really hits home with me, too. It seems I have always been able to accomplish anything I wanted to EXCEPT for my weight. It has always held me back. I am hoping the sleeve will help me finally find the smart, healthy person on the inside. Good luck with everything... I read your posts often and I hope you are feeling better!

Yippee... I am 6 days until surgery with Dr. Almanza. Getting a bit nervous, but ready to do this! Good luck to you all on your journey!

Prayers are being sent!
