Neither, the "me too" was for hoping you have no further complications!

Whoo hoo, sleeve sisters! What time does you flight get in? Are you staying at the Marriott?

Oh me too, I'm rooting for you!

I'll be a month ahead of you! Dr Garcia on July 2'nd!

...and get it OUT of the pantry. If it's not available, it's not going to go in your mouth! Since I have entirely stopped buying prepackaged snack foods and sweets and now buy only fruits and veggies that's all that anyone in the household grabs in between meals. A favorite for the whole family is frozen fruit - I buy it in the bags in the freezer section, peaches, mixed berries, etc. You have to eat them slowly since they are frozen, they have no added sugar and are very satisfying when you're feeling "snacky". If someone comes over for a bbq or something like that and brings chips, cookies, junk, I send leftovers back home with them or feed it to the chickens right away when they leave. If it's in the pantry I'll eat it. Dont give up, it's never too late to start over again! We're rooting for you and wishing you the best!!

You are so encouraging, your great additude is an inspiration!

My sisters are young, slim and haven't had kids. They diet and work out and don't understand why I don't just do the same. They dont get that they spend enourmous time and energy dieting and working out JUST TO MAINTAIN their weight. I'm a busy wife and mom and am starting 100 pounds behind. When I do what they do I simply maintain as well, there's no loss. My mom is supportive and my husband is happy for me although not exactly thrilled because he's so worried, so I do have some support and I'm happy with that.

Hmmm, wonder why. Well I friended you on FB so you can add me to the group there! Thanks!

Thanks ladyarwnerose, who is your surgery with?

Why do I have 4 tickers????

I'm July 2nd too! I have only told my hubby and 3 very close friends, and my mom is going with me. I mentioned to my family that I was looking into it a couple of months ago and they *threw a fit* so no more information for them. I don't need to hear it Getting super excited!

I just sent you a gmail chat invite Patrick! I'm July 2nd in Mexico

Im July 2nd too! Dr Garcia in Mexico. I fly into San Diego on July 1st!

July 2'nd is my date too! Anyone going to Mexico?

I'm self pay and have no preop diet required except for liquids only 3 days prior to surgery.

I just went through his seminar on the 12'th and met with him afterwards!

I'm July 2 with Dr Garcia in MX, getting excited and nervous. Don't think it's hit me that's it's really going to happen!

Oh wow I'm so excited to hear that!! Dr Garcia is my dr too and we will be arriving, having our surgery and then leaving on the same days! Finally a surgery buddy, lol.

I will not accept blood transfusions because of my religious beliefs. I made sure that Dr Garcia would honor my wishes in the event of an emergency and he agreed. I am scheduled for surgery July 2 and have provided him with details on blood alternatives that I will accept.

We have the same date!!!!! Who is your dr?
