  1. Work in an office in front of a computer 8 hours a day. I weigh 327 and had a knee scope done two months ago which didnt help much. At my weight and other hurdles where and how much d I exercise?
  2. Did they see the hernia during your egd?
  3. My date is June 25. Ive cried and smilef so much this past week feeling the date will never get here and even if it does what if i dont lise the 130 lbs... Just stressed. So much my anxiety keeps my stomach upset 24/7. Im a lurker right there with you. . Angie
  4. I feel the same way. I didnt tell my husband until the date was set. My dad still does not know. I will tell him after Ive loat the weight. He is totally against it. My mom daughter son husband and 4 co workers are all that know. Only reason they know is because I will need off. I requested a week. I have a sit down office job so i hope i will be ok after one week.
  5. I wondered should i do the sleeve this late in life then realized im only half grown . So excited. I havent been slim since I was about 4. Hopeful my dream will come true within a year.
  6. I cried too. Surely they womy leave it at that. I need a happy ending!
  7. Approximatly how much as far as shoe sizes can you go down losing over 100 lbs. i wear a 12 and would love to wear "normal" shoes
  8. Thank you for the encouragment. I weigh 326 today. No encouagment from my husband who thinks its a waste of time. He is 6'7 abt 275 so he justdoes not understand. I thought about starting the liquid diet early with replacing two meals until i start the pre diet. At least I would be doing something other than waiting.
  9. My sleeve is scheduled for June 25. Today was a rough day at work so I thought I would take some me time before heading home. My thoughts were to find something I thought was beautiful in a size 12. The more I looked the more my mind told me there is no way you will ever be in a 12. I would like to end up in a 10. Everytime I saw myself in a mirror I would just cringe. I came home crying. I feel my dream will never get here. I need some type of encouragment that this dream will come true.
  10. What is the benefits of going to Mexic? I have a wonderful surgeon here and my insurance pays 80%
  11. Wow ! That is something to brag about. I hope I have the same results...Sleeve is June 25
  12. EGD was fine. Some irritation in the linung but otherwise looked ok. He too a biopsy for some type of bacteria. Trst took about 3 hoirs start to finish. Ive slept 4 hours since I got home. Still draggy but smiling.
