Good for you. I should be having my sleeve surgery in October!!

I should be having my surgery in October, too. I have a couple of pre surgery app'ts this week and then I should be able to get it scheduled. Soon we will be losers!!! Yea for us!!

Keep working on your new habits and good luck on the baby front!

What a support system you have!!

Great sense of humor! Love it!

Good job of adding biking to your routine. Make it part of your life and you will so happy! Congratulations on the weight loss!

Congratulations! Keep up the hard work!

I'm from Iowa! Close! I hope to get sleeved this fall. Are you using My Fitness Pal to track food and exercise? Great program and app. I really like it. We could encourage each other on there if you so desire.

You should go to this thread and read it...http://www.verticalsleevetalk.com/topic/10081-the-official-what-you-will-need-for-your-gastric-sleeve-surgery-thread/ it is a great list of things needed for the hospital stay! I am looking to get sleeved later this fall!!

Wow! What great encouragement. I get tired of hearing some of the horror stories. I know there are lots of positive people out there and not all have problems. We must follow the doctor's and NUT's orders. Hoping to get approved for sleeve later this year. Good luck to all of us!

Love your writing ability! I am hoping to get approved for the sleeve this fall!! Good luck!

Good luck! You will be fine!

Stay positive - you are doing this for YOU - the most important person you know!! Good luck!

Loved your story. Can't wait for more! I think your childhood was so true for many of us who grew up in the 60's.

Sounds like you are on about the same timeline as me. I have my final 6 month app't early next month. Hoping surgery is approved quickly and I can have the surgery long before my 2nd grand baby arrives in November. Good luck!

Love your post! Stay positive! We will get through this!

Good for you!

Your dream is almost realized!

Keep your positive thoughts coming!

clap clap clap.... job well done. Keep up the great effort!! I am hoping to get sleeved this fall!

Welcome to the forum, Katherine! I am a newbie here. I am jumping through the pre op hoops and hope to get sleeved later this year. Your days will get better I am sure. Lots of great people and topics here to help you.

Glad you finally had someone come help you! It is frustrating when we try to be so independent! Keep going, girl, you will achieve your goals.

Great work! Keep it up.

Congrats! I am sure each day will get better!

I am going through process and hoping for surgery later this fall. Anyone from this area going through the same now?
