I named my sleeve "slim shady" cause he's kinda rough around the edges and has a tendency to have a bad attitude

I was sleeved on the 14th too

P.S. sorry Suziebaby, didnt mean to hijack your post

Pretty good! Still struggling to get all of my water in, but besides that i am alright. 50 pounds gone today!! 23 pre op, 27 post op! Woohoo

How are you feeling Damanda?

It posted before i was done. Anyhow, while i am glad i was prepared, it wasnt needed. Border patrol didnt say a word.

I am always extra prepared so i applied for mine 3 weeks before surgery and paid extra to have it expedited. My sister only had her ID and birth certificate.

Premier chocolate flavor is awesome! Tastes like chocolate milk. I am not a fan of their vanilla. The only vanilla i like is by EAS. I like getting the most bang for my buck--protein wise. So i always start with a premier chocolate shake for breakfast because it has 30 grams of protein.

My friend went to him last month. She really liked her experience there.

Yes it has been great. Groggy at times and sleepy but every time i woke i just walked and chewed ice. Barely any pain!

Me too! Me too! It was so nice to walk the hall with you Alex!

One of the things i am looking forward to is putting on the shirt i got when i finished a race. We walked it, of course, but finishing a 7 1/2 mile walk was a huge achievement. Unfortunatly, i got the largest shirt they had! But it didnt fit. I want to wear that shirt proudly, as hevy as i am, i did the race AND finished when even some of my skinny friends couldnt.

I did find someone on here that has surgery on the 14th so I will definitely be saying hi to them!

I am just a few days before you girls! My surgery is the 15th, so i guess i will be heading to the hotel the day you ladies get there bummer!

I was told 2 checks also. Boyh made out to dr. Kelly but one goes to the hospital. Luckily there wasnt an issue with fitting the name on, i checked as soon as i seen this post!

Thank you to all for the information. I leave for surgery with Dr. Kelly on the 14th (surgery the 15th!)

I agree on the fb tagging. I freak when someone tags me! One of the things I look forward to the most is to stop worrying about seats so much. Everytime we are going out somewhere i scope out to see if i am going to have a hard time fitting in booths or chairs. I even skipped my sons high school orientation because it was in the auditorium and i knew the chairs were small and the arms didnt move up and down. I have avoided flying anywhere because I dont want to be humiliated when they tell me I need to buy a second seat. And i want to be able to go on rides at amusement parks with my family and not have to pretend i am scared of them....because i am not! I just know i dont fit! I can go on and on! But mostly, i just want my family to be proud! I would love to be under 160. Right now i am 340. I was at a public pool last year with my kids and i heard a jerky teenager says "God, why do they let fat people in the pool....its so gross!" i was thankful that my kids didnt hear it. But my goal is to never have to have my kids hear that. And i am sure they already have at school--they say they havent. But kids can be mean-- never again should they have to be embarrased by me!!

Did you or do you plan on going alone? At first I was thinking about bringing my husband and kids but i have serious doubts about bringing the kids. I think i would rather them stay in the states. I hear that the area is not as bad as people make it sound, but i have never been there.

I am scheduled with Dr. Kelly on 8-15

I have a daughter named Kaylin too! My name: Niki Age: 32 Location: Washington State 356/342/160 I am a stay home mom/wife. I have been married to my best friend for 12 years. I have a 14 year old and a 10 year old. After about 7 years of going back and forth about surgery, i am finally getting it done

Originally made my account on my ipad. I downloaded the app on my iphone and tried to log in but it keeps saying wrong username/password. I cannot for the life of me figure out what my password is and cannot seem to find a way to get it on the site? Any help?

Damanda, if i am still there, i will come say hi! Gigi, i hope to see you too!!

I am so ready! And excited! I have cried a few times only because I have a 14 year old and a 10 year old and I never leave them to go anywhere!! But I am fully confident in my decision!! I am so excited to look towards the future! Flying in on the 14th, surgery on the 15th!

Never mind. It never occurred to me to go to the actual website until after I posted this! lol All fixed

I am getting my surgery the 15th with Dr.Kelly
