Hey July sleevers, I just wanted to join in here =) Scheduled for Thursday July 26th Hope everyone is doing well!

At the doctors for my 1 week preop apt I can't believe that next week at this time I will be sleeved!!!! I am soooooo nervous and excited. I can't even image a skinny me, I have never seen her. I know that is crazy!! So far I have lost 13pds on the preop diet but I an hungry. Counting the days till Tuesday !!!!!!!

Well, July sleeves it's my turn to be sleeved tomorrow July 6th :) Will let you all know how u go. Wish me luck! x x

To the July 5th Sleevers!! vhoke1,tonileebre, Pattyhdz, I hope today goes by fast for you!! and to all the July 1. 2. 3.sleevers I hope you are healing, sipping and walking!!!!

So I am home and slept through the night in my own bed! SO GOOD! I'm drinking pretty well, haven't had any problems with that, and am having half isopure clear drinks and half water and I really don't mind them at all! The best was I had some Swansons clear chicken broth. Lovely! Unfortunately can't seem to find any more in the shops right now, oh well my clear liquids is only til Sunday. So I am at home reading, watching videos and sipping, walking and using the blowy respirator exerciser thing. Doing good, sore tum, but bearable. Tapping on my iPhone so can't see who is sleeved soon on my list, but GOOD LUCK! It will be fine!

Just thought I'd add an update for those who haven't had surgery yet. I did not get to choose where I stayed (Recovery House or Hotel). Neither did anyone else in my group. All of the band to sleeve patients had to stay at the recovery house because we had the NG tube down our noses. The beds are the recovery house are VERY hard. Mostly bunk beds. But it was nice to be able to walk downstairs and watch tv comfortably. Unfortunately, they sent my Mom (guest) to the hotel for the first 2 nights and they never let her know how we were doing. Terrible communication, but very nice people.

The recovery house was full when I was there so we ended up at the hotel wothout a choice. Hotel was great! Very relaxing and the front desk keeps an endless supply of the frozen icies! I am planning to go back as soon as I get my surgery loan paid off and have a little nip here and a tuck or two there! Mexico baby....its the only way to go!

Patrick I'm so excited for you. I was just reading your "weight through the ages" and your motivators. I can't imaging the struggles you have been through all of your life. This truly will be you "INDEPENDENCE DAY"!!!
Good luck to you on Monday. You will be in my prayers. I'm looking forward to reading your posts.

Update! (missed one!)

I know we are going to rock it, sleeve siblings!

Thank you Smoggy, I wish you and all of the July 2nd sleevers the best of luck as well. God will be watching all of us.
I am so ready, lets do this!!!!

Hi all of you early June Sleevers....July Sleever here wondering about your experience with Surgery and the days after.
I am going to Mexico so any Mexico experiences are welcome too!!
Thank you

Just wanted to share with you what I first posted on another subject when I joined this site. God didnt intend for us to be this way. When people try to change my mind about doing this or to tell me I am just lazy and this is the easiest way out, I tell them God didnt intend on me being this way and any help I can get to show God I want to take care of what He has given me then I will do it. food is an addiction just like cigarettes, alcohol or any drug. When someone goes to rehab to free themselves from any of those, isnt that a positive sign for them? Public opinion sucks when it comes to getting help to better yourself. So I just laugh at the ones that are against us for doing this step in better health and for those that are very critical about it, just ask God to bless them and move on. Ok done preaching now, sorry but it breaks my heart to hear that some don't have support from loved ones or friends. Thank God for this forum so we can support one another. God bless everyone.

Hi Everyone,
I am scheduled for July 20th. To anyone that has little or no support please continue to be strong in your conviction. I have had a mixed reaction from those close to me but I know that this is the beginning of a new life for me. Would they really rather have us fat, unhappy and unhealthy. I don't think so....they are just scared of the unknown and the what ifs.
My question to everyone on this forum.....What if we DIDNT do it?

I have a nsv! I painted my toenails today!!!
