At the airport...
I almost forgot the husband got me a couple candy bars for after my blood work. Lol He called it my last chocolate fix. I don't think he realizes I could eat that someday again. I have told him but I think he is just nervous for me.

At the airport...
Still at the airport. We have to wait a hour for another fellow sleeve sister to arrive. Not a bad day so far just alot of waiting and zero food. Didn't realize I would be this hungry. It is minimal compared to the future benefits. Still excited. Thank you to all for the good wishes. I would be lost without this forum. Thank You

New Years Day... What will you weight???
- Seattle & Tacoma WA Surgeons?
I have decided to go to Mexico. There is a really good surgeon there and it is half the cost. I am self paid so it makes a big difference. My surgery is set for November 25th.- Seattle & Tacoma WA Surgeons?
I just wanted to let you know I canceled my appointment. I decided to change surgeons. Only because of cost. There was nothing wrong with Puget sound. Like I said they we're very nice.- What the heck is going on????
Hope you feel better. Keep us posted.- Before and during pics-again!
WOW you look great. Good job- scars and entry wounds
Do people have scars on the belly? How big and how many? How many entry holes are there? Do Dr.Aceves patients get a drain?- Nails?
I was told no nail Polish or anything.- Quitting smoking
Good luck. I quit September 1st with the commit lozenges they worked great. I did gain about 10 lbs but for the first time in 15 years I am a non-smoker. AWESOME I have my surgery November 25th. I feel better knowing I have done EVERYTHING to be healthier pre surgery.- Let's count Dr. Aceves Patients!
Get my sleeve November 25. Feel very comfortable going to Dr. Aceves- 29 Years Old & Getting the Sleeve
Lol love it. Thanks Susanne. Keep me updated on your post-op. How are you feeling?- Looking for a Partner-Dr. Aceve
I will be getting my sleeve from him November 25th. My BMI is 34.1 I think that is still kinda low.- 29 Years Old & Getting the Sleeve
I keep posting everything twice from my phone. Sorry- 29 Years Old & Getting the Sleeve
So if someone asks me how I lost the weight I might lie. I guess it depends on who it is and how close I am to them. It's not that I am embarrassed to have the surgery. I would tell everyone if I thought they would be happy and support me. I am so happy to do this. I would do it today if I could. I just know so many of my friends and family are going to think it's the easy way out and I should just go to the gym and eat right. You guys understand how well that works. Told my brother and sister in law last night. We hang out all the time so I kinda needed to tell them. It was ok. They tryed to talk me out of it. Brother so didn't approve. Sister in law was sweet ask alot of questions. I finely just said it wasn't up for debate. This is what I am doing and I thought you guys should know. GeorgieGirl so sorry to hear your instructor outed you. That was so not her call. I would be very upset with her.- 29 Years Old & Getting the Sleeve
I have my date. November 25th. Soooo ready. - Seattle & Tacoma WA Surgeons?
