Lets be friends!! Lol! Tiffany...you are Def not alone!! This is my second attempt!!! I will tell you this is truly a life change and you HAVE TO BE PREPARE!!! This is your personal choice!! I have not included any one other than 2 of my bestfreinds and my hubby. People will always have something to say about your choices...but this is a LIFE MATTER...You will be healthy and that's all that matters...you will have this forum to be your support group!!! It SCARY AS HELL!!!! But it will be worth it!!! I went under 6 months ago!!! and they had to pull out of the surgery!!! I lost 15lb and yet my liver was to FAT!! That set me back in DEPRESSION MOOD!!! So learn from my experience!!! Eat less so that you wont do this a SECOND TIME AROUND!!! I hope I get a surgery Date in Jan or Feb!! God Bless!!

Sooo wicked excited for you!!!!! Mine hopefully!!! is Dec 26..then I'll know if I get approved for a surgery date!! Hope all goes well!!

They did do my surgery Laperscope....They had all the information that was needed...but still when they went in they didnt release how ENORMOUS my liver was...They were in shock and actually were scared that I may have liver disease ( Thank God I dont ) but...They stated that it wouldnt of been detected My liver was from my pelvis all the way underneath my breast...and were suprise I didnt feel the weirdness...I told them I had no idea and when you live with it...you get use to feeling the way you do...I did lose 15lb but apparently that was good enough...I Thanks God Im alive they said that they could of puncture my liver and I would of been in the ICU!!! So this time around....SUPER SCARED!!!! I have to be a mother to my toddler and a wife to my husband!!! Im still going back in forth in my head!!!! I even had a panick attack last night from thinking about it so much....HELP ADVICE!!!

Thanks all!! I've always had a fatty liver...Diabetes doesnt help..I was 235 now Im at 219...but it's like my old time yoyo diet...it comes and goes...Im condider Obese..But not Morbid...My main reason to do the surgery was to get rid of the Diabetes..and now my sugar are starting to rise again..so it had me rethink about the surgery... I feel like the surgeron now know my history and will be extra precautious to make it work the second time around...I guess I have to restart the process...I will see where it leads me....HEALTHY I HOPE!!

Hello All!!! I truly have disconnected my self from this Forum...I couldnt go back to something that reminded me of what I Failed at. About 6 months ago...my surgery failed...my Liver was to big...So my Dr. ended up closing me back....The AMOUNT OF PAIN...I was in...I swore this would never be done again....Today I thought about maybe doing it a second time....IM SOOOOOOO SCARED!!!!! THAT PAIN, THE DISAPPOINTMENT, FAILURE..It's a feeling that still to this day saddens me. My beloved friends had their successful surgeries and they are simply wonderful people...Im so bless they are in my life...My husband was and still is AMAZING!!! Talk about REAL LOVE!!! He help me when I couldnt clean myself or bath, or even get dress...He attended to our toddler who had no idea why I was in so much pain and so sad at the time...Im rethinking about doing this...but their faces, my parents faces, their worries...It scares me to put them throught this again!...But It something that just about everyday runs through my mind!!!! I will keep it in a matter of prayer and have faith maybe the second time around will be a better experience!! Sleeve- A-Licious is back on the Forum!!!

I Can't believe it the day has arrived..I will be leaving my house in about 30 min. I'm feeling nervous..I ask myself am I doing the right thing..oh God please ease my mind!! I hope all goes well!

That is just plain out WRONG!!! You should schedule an appt to see him let him know that what he did was sooooooo wrong and coward like. He should be ashamed of himself! JERK!

Saweet!! I'm so excited for you..the hospital I'm getting my sleeve done required a 500 deposit..I too have dual coverage..but the deposit had nothing to do with the insurance..funny thing now they no longer do the deposit but I'm unable to get it back..boooo...but I love my surgeon and I would pay it all over again..getting sleeve tomorrow..I wish you the best!!!

May 22nd!! Can't believe it..waiting seem like forever and I'm freaking out that it's already tomorrow!! I'm sooo scared,nervous,excited,and hungry..lol! I pray soooo hard that all will go better than great!! I'm worried about my toddler ..this will be the very first time I'm away from her..this is making me have anxiety more than anything!! Ahhhhhhhhhhh !!!! It's almost here!!

Hope all goes well!!! Sooo excited for you!!

I hope all goes well!!!

Help!!! I only told a handful of people..not my mother or family..does this make me a horrible person?? like many out there..I don't want to hear their 2 cents or the comments such as "oh you took the easy way out" "why not just eat less and excersice" ... I don't want to be looked as a liar because I'm Not!! I just don't want to share the information..it's killing me not telling my mom..we share everything ..but she also worries so much..help!

This community is soooooooooo helpful..it's a blessing that everyone here is willing to help! I wish you the best!

Is it possible to send your meal plan..I'm concern about what I'm going take as well..thanks!
