New York here but having my surgery in Stamford, CT

I was sleeved 3/7. Down a total of 37 lbs. My son went to hug me last night and for the first time in a long time he was able to get his arms all the way around me. "Mom your getting skinny." I never thought I would hear those words...

On my way to the hospital now. Have to be there at 9:30 for 11:30 surgery. I can't believe it is here. So many emotions. The hardest thing to do was to say good bye to my babies today. Please keep me in ur thoughts and prayers!! Will check in as soon as I can to let u know how everything goes. Good luck to my fellow sleevers.

It's done!! I'm sitting up having broth and trying to get my liquids in. I have a lot of soreness but the gas has gotten a lot better. The dry mouth is the worst and goes right up into my nose. I would advise bringing saline nose spray with u. Good luck to all our sleevers today and upcoming! We can do this!!!!

Hi Ashley. I work in White Plains and am getting sleeved on March 7 at Stamford hospital. Dr Davis is doing the surgery. How far along are you?

Plus size clothes, being told "u have a pretty face" when u know they are thinking "what happened to the rest of her", being able to tie my shoes without feeling like my head is going to explode and to actually cross my legs again. Not having to "lift" my stomach so I can dry under it when I get out of the shower, not be embarrassed at the beach, oh the list goes on and on...

You can definitely tell. U look beautiful!! Keep up the good work.

So glad that everything went well and that hubby is being supportive. How are you feeling?

Hello everyone. This is my first time posting but have been reading the posts for a couple of days now. I am currently doing my protocol now (on my way to my endoscopy now) and am hoping to have my surgery in Jan. this is such a GREAT place and I have learned so much in just a short time. I know I probably sound crazy but I Ana nervous wreck right now. I'm trying to talk to myself that I am doing this for me and is one step closer to the new me. Any good vibes would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!
