I have watched every single video you posted. I watched them all tonight. You have transformed into a very beautiful person. I can only hope to succeed as you have. I will continue to watch for your videos.

I want to sit in an airplane seat without infringing upon my neighbor's space. I want to be off my medications. I want to sit in a chair without my rolls hanging off. I want to see myself in a picture with my children and say, hey....she's hot. I want to not sweat like a pig in the Texas heat. It's the simple things in life.

That's an NSV if I've ever seen it!

You're a nurse in the ER? Oh boy. You may want to take the full time off you can. You have a strenuous job. If you don't take care of you, you can't take care of patients, my friend. Take that into consideration.

I see the doc 8 days after surgery. I can have up to 3 weeks off. I will ask for 2 weeks but I honestly think I will be back in less. I've had laparoscopic surgery before. I do, this time, have a desk job. I have the great type of job where I can fully do the liquid diet without any kind of interruption.

My guess is the alcohol. Dumping is a bit different.

WOOO HOOOOOO!!!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! I will be there sooner than later. I am so excited!

I'm 45 as of the 20th of August. The sleeve decision was the best of my life. I can't wait for September 20 to come!

Congratulations, Phillip!!! It wasn't an easy decision to make for myself either. I'm glad the surgery wasn't hard on you! Keep up the good work!

You look splendiferous! What a difference! Keep up the good work!

At first when I learned of the 2 week pre-op diet, I wasn't sure I could handle it. We have to purchase our pre-op shakes directly from our surgeon. I'm ok with that. It's cheaper from him anyway. Post-op we can get it anywhere we want. I've done a lot of research and have read a lot of blogs and forums. I'm not so freaked out about the liquid diet. I look at it this way: it's the proverbial dangling carrot. It's going to be so worth it! GOOD LUCK!!!

Good luck and Congratulations!

:DI'm sorry about your divorce. But I am very happy for you with your weight loss! WOOO HOOOO!!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Keep up the good work and positive attitude!

Good Luck!!!!! Things will start movin' and groovin' for ya!!!

I have told my husband and sons and one co-worker. The only reason I told my co-worker is because he is having the sleeve done as well on October 23rd. I have told no one else. My in-laws will know AFTER the surgery takes place. They will NOT be supportive at all. I feel it is a private decision and no one needs to know. We are entitled to our right to privacy and I will use that. No one would support me at work. I may feel differently closer to the surgery or post-op. I doubt it, though.

I'm Nancy. I am happily married to my husband Greg. I have two sons 19 & 22 from my first marriage. I work for a local municipality as a Water System Controller. I am one of 4 that helps keep the city in water. We also dispatch emergencies for water utilities. I have worked here for 10 years. I used to cater for a living. My husband and I like to cook and check out new restaurants. food has been a big part of our life. That will change!! After trying every single diet in the world, i got fed up earlier this year. Once it finally sank in that I'm borderline diabetic (my grandparents and father and brothers are all diabetic) I had to do something to change the pattern. I have high blood pressure, high cholesterol, GERD and IBS. My surgery is scheduled for September 20th. Between now and then, I'll be getting all my pre-op requirements taken care of. I'm so ready to be healthy again!! Good luck everyone with upcoming surgeries! I wish you health and happiness!

Congratulations! My first consult was at the end of May. At first, my insurance required that we do the 6 months of nutrition classes. Then after a month, I was notified that they reduced it to 3 months. I'm going September 20. It's all downhill now. My pre-op is the 7th, EGD on the 14th and surgery on the 20th. It's going so fast.
