I think this is now one of my top 5 topics here!!! All of the reasons previously said are goals for me! My husband and I (married 22 years) have a list of all things skinny sex to try! But the major reason for me is to be able to have an active life with my boys 9 and 13 and live longer for them. They love it when I play baseball with them, but I can only run for about 2 seconds at this weight. One of my goals is to run with my 9 year old son (he's my energizer bunny) by my 50th birthday in June!
Thanks for all the inspiration! I am so ready for my surgery on 11/20!

12.that life is good, and i'm around to shout about it :wub:

cant wait to be there... while im not much of a bra wearer (since im a guy and all) despite the fact that i might be able to fit one... LOL my major goal is to be able to buy a tshirt and jeans at target... LOL sounds weird because i really wouldnt wear it, just the fact that i can fit into normal sizes would be great for me.

I am recently sleeved, not quite 2 weeks out, but my number one long time goal, is to be able to buy a pair of knee high boots and be able to zip them up! As long as I can remember, my claves have just been too darn fat! I think I might cry the day I hit that goal

Thanks for another list of reasons to stay focused! I also want to achieve many of the items on your list! I have never had a matching bra and panties, my hubby will definitely enjoy that as much as I will!

Haha, we r in this together girlie, glad i have support!

I'm the 20th, so I am right there with all of you! I can only have liquids, it is getting boring now, but the weight is falling off, 5 lbs since the 7th, so that is keeping me focused!

I lost 60 lbs about 3 years ago and was weighing every day. I got lazy about a year ago and stopped weighing daily, I gained 15 lbs back. When I started my supervised diet in June, I started weighing daily again and I found that I was more careful with my choices. I don't think about being a scale slave, it's just a part of my day to keep me focused. Everyone is different and needs to do what works for them.

I'm November 20, Harrisonburg, VA! I am only concerned about incision and muscle pain. I had a complete hysterectomy by vertical incision (cut was about 6 inches long) several years ago and thought it was the worst surgery to recover from. My hubby keeps saying its not that again, and I will be fine. I have a high tolerance for pain, but don't ever want to go through that again! My C-sections were a piece of cake comparatively. Other than that I am ready to be on the losers bench for good!

I love how respectful everyone on here seems to be (I'm pretty much a newbie) and so supportive of one another!!

No no not at all dear. I'm just saying that sometimes people don't understand the surgery so when you toss it out, they panic, not out of lack of support...but out of caring!

LOL, tell her you are having a medical procedure that you really don't want to discuss and be done with it! I know it's easier said than done, but my backbone is getting stronger by the day! Hang in there!

Fort Defiance, VA, surgery scheduled November 20 with Dr. Garwood, RMH Hospital, Harrisonburg, VA

Hi all!
I just found out yesterday that my insurance has approved my sleeve gastrectomy for this November 19. I wanted to share my excitement and readiness. I am a RN at the hospital that I will be having surgery at, which made this decision easier for me. I trust and respect my surgeon because I've worked with him countless times to take care of his post-op patients on my floor. We don't care for his immediate post-op bariatric patients on my floor, but ive cared for many of his other surgery cases. Its very comforting to know the hospital staff that will be taking care of me post-operatively. Basically, I CAN'T WAIT!! I wish everyone the best of luck

Me too!!! Same day!!! I'm super excited! It will be here so fast!!!
