Pre-op work up and psych eval: check, check. Pcp clearance on Wed. Then just waiting on my loan officer and surgery coordinator to set dates. This is crazy!! I'm so excited! Adding things to my skinny list (instead of a bucket list) everyday! God is sooo good!!

Congrats!! I'm not far from you - I live about an hour north west of Biloxi. Best wishes!!! I'm having my pre-op work up now. Barium for breakfast. :/

Beautiful!!!! Congrats!!!!

Wow... That made me cry! Thank you for sharing! I'm going to Tweak & use it!

My psych eval is Monday (hope I don't fail it ) Pre-Op labs & tests on Monday morning Appt to get approval from my PCP on Wednesday... Wow... I'm terrified, nervous, excited, anxious and all kinds of other emotions. This feels like a dream...

I saw Dr Jenkins today! Loved him! Psych eval on Monday!

Just left my first appt with surgeon. I loved him! I have my psych eval on Mon, then they'll set a date for surgery. I'm thinking/hoping it'll be sooner than I was expecting! Yay!!! So excited!

Omg... Chomping at the bits for my surgery date!!! I'm 5'2, 210lbs, have my first appt with surgeon tomorrow. I'm self pay, so hopefully I'll get a date tomorrow! Great job, y'all!! Can't wait to report my success!!!!

I've read a lot on here about goals, and thought about mine. I've never dared to dream I could possibly weigh 120lbs, but why not? A goal without a plan is just a wish... And my plan is in the first stages of progress

I live in MS, Dr Jenkins is my dr.

I'm going to see my surgeon Wed and hopefully get a date - for surgery, not with him! I'm self paying, so hopefully I can get scheduled by first of May!

Wow!!! You all make me wish surgery was this week!!! I'm so nervous & excited about my new life!

I'm 5'2", 210lbs. Surgery to be scheduled this week and hopefully be sleeved by first part of May. Anyone else short stuff? Would love to hear your successes!

If you weren't scared, I'd be worried! I'm scared, too! I'm even more scared of diabetes, heart disease, joint replacement, strokes, and all the other bad things that happen as a result of being obese. For me, the benefits outweigh the risks. This is by no means an easy way out, but it is an option. I'm refinancing my home to have this done. I'm 40yrs old, single mom and I'm ready to LIVE!

Hey Dina! I added you to FB!

I have all but posted it on FB! I've told most everyone I know! Not only do I want their prayers & support, but I want them to know it's an option for them!

So excited for you! I'm going to pm you my cell#.

I have another to add - go to parties like the one I'm at now and not feel like shamu...

I haven't even seen my surgeon yet, but I bought my cute surgery slippers today

Okay I'm sooo doing this in 2013!!!! http://www.godirtygirl.com/

Okay.... My list is getting longer! I too hate social liars! "Have you lost weight?" - knowing good & well they're lying! Soon, they won't have to *ask*! Btw - what is dirty girl run?!

Good ones! I wanna do Zumba, too! Another for my list: Not being the heaviest in the room!!!

I'm so excited about my future! Here's a few things that I'm looking forward to doing: Playing! I wanna play in the yard! Sitting in a chair without feeling like I'm gonna pop from my clothes being tight ALL the clothes in my closet being too big Boating with friends Wearing shorts & sundresses Being more productive at work Taking my son on vacay No joint pain Decreased urinary incontinence Less depression & anxiety Lower BP Having the energy to clean my house (I've started paying someone) Swimming Bike riding Getting back to doing public speaking/seminars Romantic get away with my bf Being thinner than my BFF! Lol The list goes on & on... How about you???

Wow.... What an awesome story!! Thank you for sharing!!!
