SoonToBeThin

Hi: I am sorry you are having a hard time. I am sure things are going to get easier, "hang in there". I live in Marrero, you must be a neighbor or live close by. I am glad I found this site prior to discussing sleeve with doctor. My appt with Dr Treen is tomorrow and I am nervous already. Keep me posted on your progress and maybe we will meet or run across each other one day. I will be following your post. Good luck and hope to chat soon.

:001_rolleyes:Sounds like things went really smooth for you, congradulations. This is the 1st time to visit this site and your post caught my eye. I have an appt to speak with Dr.Treen next Tuesday. This is new to me and very scarry. I had to go to the emergency room yesterday morning to find out that I have a stomach hernia. I am now in a situation which I will need surgery very soon to remove & repair hernia. After that is over, I need & want to lose weight. One year ago I went to lap band seminar and did not persue it and decided to go to weight watchers instead. Lost 40 lbs but gained it all back "same old story". I am 280+ lbs. and only 5 ft. The verticle sleeve seams like a better approach and I am highly considering. Reading your post was very encouraging and positive. Good luck in your new journey of life and I hope to chat with you again. SoonToBeThin
