    almost four months out from my sleeve. started at a size 20/22. went shopping this last weekend, as my pants were literally falling off. took a size 14 into the dressing room "just to see".
     
    when they fit, i looked at myself in the mirror and said, "shut the front door". someone in the dressing room next to me laughed. i know size is not everything but for some reason being able to wear a size 14 jean is AMAZING!!!!! have not been this size in over twelve years.
     
    my knees/ankles no longer hurt. i am able to give my children tight squeezes. i caught my husband looking at me the other day. literally, staring at me with that look in his eyes.
     
    for those on the fence regarding this surgery, you need to have this surgery. yes, there are times when it blows, BUT the times when it rocks greatly outweigh the negatives.
     
    thanks to everyone who post questions/comments on this website. to know there are others out there experiencing the same feelings/emotions is such a great comfort.
     
    happy holidays!

    hello everyone,
     
    for those of you that have already had the procedure did you find it helpful to have someone stay at the hospital with you overnight or was it okay being left alone for the night? any ideas will help.
     
    thank you for your time.

    hello,
     
    first, i would like to thank all those who share their stories. i have been able to find so much information and have had many questions answered.
     
    my surgery is 23 days away and i am starting to get really nervous. i have been in this process for a while and i am sure it is the right step for me. now that it is finally "real" with the surgery scheduled, i am experiencing anxiety.
     
    does anyone have any tips or words of wisdom to lessen the pre-surgery anxiety?
     
    thank you.
