Inches matter!!! The scale doesn't measure inches!

Good for you!!!!

Yes Sir definitely different with females!!! Women are sooooo Catty! It's about "***** Control!" ( not all women!)

Thank u iggychic! I wondered about that! No more food funerals!!

Your True friends and family that aren't Haters will be gad for you!!! U r almost at my goal weight!!! u look Marvelous!!!! I am not telling anyone either for that reason. I remember all of the sabotages last time I lost weight they told me the same thing don't lose too much!! You gooooo!!! Right to your goal!!!!

I will take 2 weeks off that should be good I work night shift 12 hrs 7p-7a.

. I am gonna use my Vacay time because my supervisor would look up my doctors name on the FMLA form to see he is a bariatric surgeon!!! What a shame but I don't want anyone in my Biznazzzz!!!!

Good for u!!!

The closer I get to the final stages the more uneasy I get. My mind is going thru all of the what if's..........! I have researched everything! I know this is the best thing for me It is the last resort, then I start thinking about something scary and negative. I have only had 2 c sections I am 47. I have one more appointment with my GP for the mandatory weight management, then we submit to my insurance hopefully I will be approved!!! Then the date is set!!!!!!!! OMG!!!!!! I need a break! I am almost 300 pounds!!!!!!

I will book a Vacay, on a beach anywhere where it is warm!!! It's been 8 years since I have been on a beach!!!!!

Oh!!

Wow I am sorry for your struggles! Don't give up! That is so scary, I haven't been sleeved yet, I hope and pray for your continued recovery!

Thank goodness!!

I won't miss the looking in the mirror and not liking my reflection! I am tired of the tiny head and linebacker look! @ Susie 1226 LOL!!! I needed that laugh! I won't miss all the "What u need to do is...........!" I won't miss the losing and gaining the same 40-50 pounds! I won't miss the "old lady clothes!" I can't wait to be sleeved!!!!

God Bless u!!

That's the reason, imlosingit that I am not telling anyone at work I have told family members and ever some of them are not supportive. Based on ur ticker u r doing very well. They are just jealous!!! Tell them " I got this!!!" Then SMILE real BIG!!!!!!

The way I love food now before being sleeved. I hope I can say food doesn't mean so much to me after I am sleeved like u said Alabama I want to " eat to live not live to eat!!! "

Wow! That is incredible!!! I will remember that when my time comes!

What amazes me is how OTHERS try and make YOUR decision about them!!!! What it is is that they are afraid that now that you have made a decision to Do something to change they will be left behind because WE ARE IMPROVING OURSELVES!!! Keep your head up never let them see you sweat!!! Let them EAT THEIR HEARTS OUT, when the weight starts falling off!!! Good Luck!!!!

I met with my Nut. today she said the sleeve holds about 10 ounces. We were talking about food though. Good Luck!!

I met with my nut. today and she said no to caffeine and carbonation. I have read that some people let the drinks go flat. IJS

Hello lexi710, I meet with my surgeon on 1-14-13. I have UHC PPO. How did you document? I have no comorbities, BMI 39. I hope I won't have to jump through hoops.

Sometimes it is hard for people to accept change! There is Pain in change! Sounds like he is worried that as you lose weight you will gain more self confidence and not put up with him any more! If he comes around that great because you guys are married, if he doesn't don't let his actions sabatoge your success. You will be a better mother as you progress through your journey, because you will be happier and have more energy to interact with your kids. This site is wonderful!! There are lot's of supportive people that can help you! God Bless!!!

So happy for you! I am in the beginning stages,this past saturday went to a seminar,I have decided to go with the VSG. I'm doing paperwork. I hope my insurance company doesn't make me go thru 6 months of hoop jumping!
