I didn't mind telling anyone, friends family coworkers total stranger. I am proud of my decision and that is all that matters. We are doing this to be healthy so we can have a longer life span with our families. If someone in negative to you it's just because they are jealous. Stand up tall and be proud that you made the right decision for you. I'm proud of each and everyone of us. SLEEVED 7/16/12 DOWN 23 LBS . That counts the two week pre open liquid diet.< /p>

If you don't act ashamed of your choice then people won't really say much. You let then know that you are taking the steps you need to to become the person you want to be. It's worked pretty well for me. I've even turned a couple anti surgery guys into pro surgery after I explained all my pains and years of dieting and failure. I know not everyone is an open book like me but I think it helps people understand when you are more open about it. I can't wait for my surgery, just waiting to make my appointment with the surgeon. Good luck.

I met with my surgeon this morning and found out I get to have surgery on Aug. 15 and I have to start my skim milk diet on Aug. 1 I really didn't think it would happen this soon. I have had to do the whole 6 month doctor suppervised diet. It's is just hitting my all at once that I start my new life in a few days. I'm so nervous and scared. I know I'm making the right decision I just hope I don't fail in the long run. I was suppose to leave for a trip to Vegas on Aug. 15 but it looks like I'll have to cancel the flight hope they give me some kind of credit. I didn't want anything in my life to be more important then this. I can go back to Vegas later. Wish me luck. Thanks for all the info this website has given me. I feel really ready for everything.

Thank you all for your advice. I had pretty much decided I wanted to get the sleeve, but sitting here waiting for this 6 month doctor monitored diet. I have way to much time to worry I might make the wrong decision. Listening to everything you've had to say just reconfirms I'm making the right decision going with the sleeve. I can't waitl to get through all this red tape the insurance company is making me do. I just want to get it done so I can start my new life.
