You're going to *love* your sleeve!

Linda, I hope things have gotten better for you.

Hey! It's been forever since I was on here but thought I should check in and see how you are doing. Say hello to your Mom for me, also. I hope she is well and I'd love to hear about your progress!

Did you ever find an upstate NY surgeon?

hey there! Yes, I am sorry we never had a chance to meet but I did see your Mom and even helped her get a hold of the airlines when she was changing the flights around. I am doing well. I hang out on Obesity Help more than this site...not sure why I am glad I am able to start making different things from recipes I have found online....How have you been doing?

I completely understand! I've been out of town for almost 2 weeks. I can't believe January is here!!!

That is great news! Thanks for letting me know

I'd love to lose 75 but I would technically still be overweight so I'd need to lose 100 to be "normal". I am not sure if my frame would look right that small though, so my goal is to get to 175 and then I'll take it from there I have just a few things left to gather before we leave for MX....any suggestions for the gloves/bactine stuff I should bring?

That sounds about right! I haven't met anyone on OH or VST that is getting sleeved Wednesday with me but I'm sure there'll be a line

That would be very cool! My coordinator hasn't mentioned it; only about the change from 2/2 to 2/1 with 2 nights hospital and 1 night recovery house. I can't believe that I will (maybe) get to meet YOU and PNF from OH! How cool! I just saw you on OH and friended you

Hey there! You mentioned the new hospital in a recent post. Do you know when it is supposed to open? I'll be there Jan. 13.

Thanks Kira. The same thing got posted over on OH and it is disturbing. I'll be out of town/out of touch between 12/21 and 12/31 and then it'll be my 2 week countdown and your first 2 weeks post-op! I am truly excited about the possibilities and hope my break from the internet will calm my nerves!!

Hi there; I am scheduled with Dr. Almanza on January 13th----looks like we will see each other there!

I just saw that your surgery is tomorrow! Good luck, best wishes and my thoughts are definitely with you! I am scheduled for the VSG 1/13/10 with Dr. Almanza and look forward to chatting with you when you return from Mexico.

I thought I read in one of your posts that you went to Dr. Almanza. Could you share with me more about your experience? I am scheduled for 1/13/10. Thank you in advance

Hi Carolyn,

I've read some of your posts and wanted to hear more about your experience with Dr. Almanza. I am scheduled for VSJ 1/13/10 with him and am excited, nervous---a little bit of everything! Thank you in advance!
