My daughter is in school and i dont have anyone to help with her and my son daily but I can send them to grandmas for winter break so that is why I am doing that day!

lol! you cried and I danced! And my daughter danced with me! We called it the approval dance

woooohooooo!!!!!!!!!

this makes me feel so good about the surgery!!! I am happy for you!

congrats on the surgery!! Hope you are feeling well!!!

lol this is how I feel!!!!! yaaaaaay!!!! I have no advice because I am a dec. sleever! but I am excited too

welcome to the dec surgery club!!!! I am dec 26!

I think maybe you should know that we are all terrified at one point or another! This is surgery and a forced change in lifestyle for a long time. I am sorry but you should stop smoking anyway! Its just so bad for you and I am sure that lung cancer is waaay scarier than this surgery! Maybe you should sit down and really think about what you want for yourself and why it is really scaring you!

great job!!! Isn't the aquarium in GA awesome? I loved it there!!

I wish one person would have told me that! lol!I just get agreed with which makes me thinks I am waaaay bigger than I thought!!

I decided that for the next month or so I will not put so much focus into my food.We all know what its like to eat and feel guilty or bad about everything that we consume. I will for a long time after my surgery have to be very careful and diligent on what I eat. I just wanted some time when I dont obsess about food.It has been very nice so far!

I scheduled my surgery and pre op appointment Pre op appointment is nov 27 and surgery is dec 26!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WooHoo !! I am so excited!!!

i got a call on friday that i am approved for surgery and i get to call and schedule my surgeryon monday !

im dec 26th hopefully!

my goal for 1 year from now is to be comfortable in my maid of honor dressin my bffs wedding:)

yay! I cant wait for the day where i weigh less than my husband! He irritates me with his eating crap all the time and never gaining weight!

I called my group and my psych eval is supposed to be coming in today. So it will be sent to bcbs va today or tomorrow. I have heard that bcbs is fast at getting back to you so when I hear back I will start my testing and schedule my surgery date!!! I am so excited! I am no where near nervous, just ready for it

good luck! I am excited to see how it works out for you!!! I am only 5 feet tall and 223 so I am interested in how the shortys take it BTW- Its so normal to be nervous about everything!!You want this and you made an informed decision!!! Good luck and keep us posted!!!

Anyone have to do it pre op? How was it? I'm a pretty picky person and I am just worried about it !

Im so sorry! I also have the post lyme disease its terrible and im sure it helped with th last round of weight i gained. Take care of yourself.

Thank you! Ive decided that i will be pushing my holiday party to the week before i start the optifast. I am so very excited though and know its only for this year!

Good luck!!! I am very interested in how it goes!

After looking at all the best times to have the surgery done I decided to try to get sleeved dec 26th. Thats right so my 14 day optifast diet starts before that. I hope I dont loose it between the holiday parties and cookie baking. But I am dedicated and know its worth it Any advice though? I really dont want to just skip out on the holidays this year! But I dont want to be overly irritated either
