I have my surgery scheduled for next month and I haven't told too many people. So far I got "oh my you're going to be too much strutting you're skinny ass around the office." Implying that my head will swell as my waist shrinks. I countered with "yeah I'll be wearing a mid driff every day to show off my belly ring that will be tethered to my nose ring rain or shine" lol I guess that didn't help the perception that I'm going to be one of those vain skinny b*****s lmao!

So I decided to switch from Plication to Sleeve. My gut is telling me that is the better choice for me. I made my initial decision based on what the coordinator told me and not on my own research. After reading so many posts over the past few weeks the information on Plications is sparse. I'm figuring that this is a fairly new procedure so I'm going to jump on the bandwagon and do the sleeve. I feel way more educated about that. My surgery date is still the same 1/21/13. Starting weight right now is 211. In about 2 weeks I'll start my pre-op diet. I'm going to do the 14 day 2 Protein Shake daily and diet meal for dinner. I'm hoping to get down the 10% necessary. I'm a smoker and no smoking for 2 wks plus no real food is going to very hard. I pray now for those around me and hope they survive those two wks lol.
