Sleevealicious

That's awesome , pdog! I saw you on the August sleevers list! I too am having my surgery on August 6th with Bluepoint surgical group. Dr. Nain will be doing mine at Potomac hospital though. I assume that you will have yours in fair oaks ? I met Dr. Halmi last week to get my surgery orders . He is a really nice guy , I thought about asking for him to do my surgery instead of Dr. Nain , but if I do that they said I would have to wait until September. So I am just sticking with Dr. Nain. He is nice too , just has less experience that Dr. Halmi ... But I'm sure it will be fine. Anyway, just wanted to congratulate you on finishing your 6 months and introduce myself to you !

August 6th here ! Sleeve will be done by Dr. Nain in Woodbridge, VA. I'm 22 years old ( 23 next month- yay for surgery birthday gift to myself! ) and ready to get healthy and in shape! I am 5'4 and currently 257 lbs . I would love to lose 100 lbs , but 20 to 30 more would be awesome!

Hi Lisa ! I can totally relate to you . I started adipex ( phentermine ) at 200 lbs two years ago. Lost 30 pounds in 30 days. So easy , I couldn't believe it ! Well... my blood pressure was high from the medication and I had to stop. Gained back 45 Pounds in two months . I then went back to phentermine and the weight didn't come off quite so easily that time , but I Lost another 30 , and of course gained it back. The same cycle went on for another year and lead me to now being 260 lbs. it is so hard for me to lose weight now. I think losing weight from medication really messes up your system . Anyway, sorry for the long story ! Just wanted to say welcome and got pretty side tracked ! I think it is great that you are doing something more permanent to help yourself now rather than waiting until you are 250+ lbs . pills are NOT the answer ( in most cases, in my opinion ) to permanent weight loss. My surgery date is August 6th 2012. I hope everything goes great in your surgery planning !

I live in Woodbridge,VA. My surgery Is scheduled for August 6th. Glad to know there are other sleevers near me also using this site!
