Tmi, but my top 3 things are:
1) wiping my butt without trying to be a contortionist.
2) shopping in any store I want and wearing pretty clothes, and heels that don't hurt
3) just FEEL BETTER!!! Inside, out, and mentally!!

MGM: I'm so glad your having the surgery in August. I really doesn't matter what others say about this surgery. It is a major life transformation for you and you will decide what is in the future for you. It might involve you husband and maybe not. This is not the time to worry about. Take 1 day at a time. His family can stay in their own house and let him deal with them. Best wishes!

WOW! Our thread is 20 pages! It's really getting real guys!

Marriage is tough. Especially when you love someone who is not the person you want them to be. Being married for 20+ years is a rarity now days. I hope your confidence increases as your weight decreases. When you are happy (and none of us are that happy being overweight), I think and hope it will bring happiness into other areas of your life like your relationships. I've been married 10 yrs and my struggle with weight has affected my marriage because I didn't feel that great about myself. He is a great guy but has not always been perfect. I wish you success with your weightloss and whatever happens with your husband I wish you much happiness in your future.

Yeah, I'm sure there's a logical, caring reason why a spouse would throw a bunch of candy bars on his recently-sleeved wife's lap.

I haven't had surgery yet. It's scheduled for August 23rd. So no pounds coming off yet. But yes, while I'm changing, either his attitude can or his address can!

Mine is the 16 t sleeve

I feel the same way...my surgery is the 17th. It would ge great to have another surgery buddy. Just send me a personal message if you are interested.

Hi All,
I have been lurking on this board since I made the decision in April to be sleeved. I will be having surgery on July 18th! I am so excited! I am on this board so often and have learned so much about what to expect and what to prepare for. I'm feeling very confident and ready for surgery! I look forward each day to see how everyone is doing after their surgery and love hearing about everyone's successes!
I am inspired by you all!

HEY! Your supposed to HELP ME not go against my idea LOL
I don't like it on the Iphone! I always get so many errors with the connections even though it will post stuff, and I just think the website is easier to Navigate in general!

Sounds like a real winner Johnathan. It would be nice to just converse with someone when they are on here and not have to go back later and read their comments or ask a question about a post they made. Thanks hopefully someone who can initiate it will read your post.

I lift my shake to toast "May we all have quality BM's that are not too soft and not too hard!!"

Ah, yes..the first rule of the boards. Though shalt not say anything remotely about a doctor who was not yours. Sigh. Sad, but true. Never seems to work out for anyone. But I do wish people would be a little less sensitive. As someone who had surgery in Mexico...because everyone is quite sensitive, you won't find a ton of hard info on the boards re: surgeons. Just a lot of people who love their doctors (and will attack if prompted). It really comes down to your gut. If you're a data-hog like me, it's a tough pill to swallow...but you have to pick your own criteria, research it (recommend not using the boards as a primary source), and pick the one who feels right. Good luck!

my only concern would be w/ the amount of salt that's in it.

My parents have been happily married for 50 years. My mother once told me "If you have to ask yourself if he's The One, then he's not." Believe me - she's right.

3 months on July 10th

My husband and were both sleeved in April. I had no health issues. My husband has diabetes, HBP, high everything! Well.... He went for his bloodwork last Saturday. His doctor called him around 6pm personally to tell him that all his numbers were PERFECT!!' he said they were better than his own!! Doc took him off of two meds now, and after three months another round of bloodwork to see what else he can come off of. We're so thrilled for this. LOVE OUR SLEEVES!!!!!!

And I asked him about a video of the surgery. He told me to bring a memory card, and they will.

Oh it doesn't matter! You can be here even if you just SUPPORT us! And yes it counts!

Yes, I do think you're a gorgeous man now...that being said I know EXACTLY what you mean. I am soooo tired of getting told I have "such a pretty face", like that person is insinuating that the rest of me is junk! I know I'm a big person, but that doesn't give the general population the right to overlook me. I matter too, damn it...AND SO DO YOU!!!

Soooo today I had to go to Walmart to exchange a personal blender for a NINJA system b/c it didn't crush ice quite as well as I thought it should, and the NINJA came with 2 cups and a big blender too, and it has 4 blades and 550Watts vs the 250Watts the other one had, needless to say it will work much better.
Anyway, after checking out, i'm heading out the door and this BEAUTIFUL guy walks in front of me, he's slim, cute, dressed cute(bermuda shorts and a t) and I think WOW! Of course I would have loved to taken him out but we all know right now that's not going to happen!
Well, A year from now I will be THAT GUY! I know I get told I'm cute, and I am cute, and I'll tell ya, I was cuter before I put on this last 40lb,but my body is not cute! Really honey, IT'S NOT CUTE!
I absolutely CAN'T WAIT until I am that guy! The guy that walks in, and people look at me because I look great, not because I'm fat! I will be the guy that has that bubble ass that people stare at LOL
SO, I will be that guy, give me a year and you'll see! This next year is going to change so much in my life! My body, MY HEALTH, A new job, and I hope to find a great man! (Big Romantic here lol)
I just had to say something about this experience today lol. Please feel free to leave me comments!
