  1. I don't have any sleeve advice for you, as I am still pre-op. However, I did want to say congratulations on your surgery and I wish for you a speedy recovery. Take Care,
  2. Well, I definitely would have to agree with you. We all have to life our lives to the fullest and make the best of it that we can. People will talk about you when you lose weight, or if you're big. You just can't win with some people. Anyhow, congrats on your weight loss. That's awesome
  3. That's awesome. That was pretty cool
  4. That's awesome. And it's very cool that you're inspring others. That's a huge NSV. Congrats!
  5. Clever Title!!!! That's an awesome accomplishment. I know that has to feel extremely good. Congrats!
  6. I've watch those videos plenty of times. It certainly gives me a higher level of respect for the work these doctors do. The human anatomy is a beautiful thing, however when I see the blood at times... freaks me out. Glad to know I will be knocked out while it's happening. LOL.
  7. That's awesome! Congrats to you!
  8. That's awesome. Thanks for the taking the time to explain this. I definitely agree with the "back and feet" hurting. I am District Manager, so I walk around a lot. I also give a lot of presentations, and I notice that if I stand in one place for too long, my back along with my feet literally start "barking." LOL Again, thanks for sharing your story. That's awesome!!!!
  9. Congrats to you on a surgery date!!! That's very exciting!
  10. Thanks for sharing. Definitely going to try this!
  11. Congratulations to you. That has to be very exciting to have an actual surgery date. I will be having my surgery as well in San Diego through Pacific Bariatric. They conduct their surgery at Scripss Mercy Hospital. I haven't actually got my surgery date yet, but it will be sometime in September. Good Luck to you.... and Keep us posted on your progress.!!!!!
  12. I'm sure this is how a lot of us "Pre-Sleevers" feel right now. What would you say are the biggest differences in your life pre-sleeve to post-sleeve? And how much has having this surgery impacted your life?
  13. I haven't got a date yet, but my doctor estimates mid to late September. Can't wait!
  14. That's right. A husband representing the right way!!! Woohoo...
  15. DAAAAAAAMMMNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!! That's all I got to say! You got it going on. In your before photos, it seems like you're wearing all black, but in your after photo you have bright yellow on. I would assume that the bright colors are a symbol of how you feel on the inside. Radiant! You look so happy. Your journey is definitely an inspiration to us all. I can't wait to get sleeved and join that losers bench with you. GREAT JOB!!!
  16. That's awesome! Keep up the great work.
  17. That's awesome! Congrats to you.
  18. I've watched the operation numerous times on youtube. Definitely eye opening, but it also gives you an appreciation for what these doctors do. IMHO, some operations seem to go a lot smoother than others, but I am sure it also depends on the patient as well.
  19. Congrats to you. That's an amazing weight loss. Keep up the good work.
