Yes we can and we will do this!! Good luck!

I started my pre-op diet today, it wasn't as bad as i thought. I am hungry but it is 530 pm so I probably should eat. My biggest problem will be at night. Usually I have a cup of coffe but I can't so we'll see how the night goes.

Thanks for the info, they are puttung a temp one. I'm just nervous. I work at a hospital and I know they put them in all the time, but now i'm on the other side of the coin!!

Hey everyone, my surgery date is Sept 12th. I'm super excited!!!

Hello everyone I am new to this, so i'll start from the beginning. In October of 2011 I went to a new doctor for my high blood pressure, after my exam she asked me was there anything else I wanted to talk abour, I said yes my weight. At that appt i was 489 and BMI of 67.7. I am now down to 455. She referred me to Dr. Tran at Howard University. My first visit was in Jan. At first I wanted the LapBand, but with my weight ,I wouldn't get much weight loss, so he suggested the sleeve. I have BC/BS and I had to di a six month weight management program. I have now completed and I got my surgery APPROVED on Friday. I will find my surgery date on Monday. The only thing I still have to do is have a IVC filtet placed to prevent clots.
I am very anxious, nervous and excited all in one. I know a few people who have had wls but not the sleeve. I guess I'm ready to have the life I know I should have. I want to be able to ride a bike, go skating with my girls, be able to fly in a airplane, eat at a resturant at a booth, little things.
I have DJD in both my knees and it hard for me to walk everyday like I want to. I have to get this weight off of me so I can start living a happy and healthier life for my and my kids. I'm glad I camw across this app to hear other people's stories, the good and the bad, so any suggestions or helful ideas would be grateful, keep u posted for the date
