i was single but one year post op I got married to the love of my life Oh how life has changed

Newly single, newly sleeved, New me .. I am looking for other single sleevers out there to talk about single life, before during and after the sleeve. Maybe a place were us singles can come together and talk about whatever who knows maybe Someone can find love.. In a loveless world. So if you are single and out there lets hear from you..

For people with an emotional disorder those questions aren't stupid. They are anything but. The psychologist needs to make sure you're psychologically sound before going through with the surgery because not only is it a life changing procedure, but the rapid weightloss messes with your hormones which can cause depression.
You may be able to answer those 'stupid questions' easily but some people can't.

Diane, you will do wonderful. The liquids was not easy but, you have to remember exactly why you are doing this. YOU will Succeed!

Hello, my name is Denise and I am from Bartlesville, OK.
I was sleeved on 12-11-12 at Bailey Medical in Owasso, OK and my Surgeon was Dr. Katsis, My starting weight was 450 lbs and as of 1-7-13 at my 4 week check up I was at 408 lbs.! YAY!
My experience to date, has been amazing. I have the worlds best family and friends, they are my cheeleaders.
I don't have any complaints, if you read my story, you will see that my health was so bad that this has been a gift of God to me and I am so blessed to have the tool to help me regain my life. So every step of this journey I am going to Celebrate because this journey is a precious gift to me.
Thank you for letting me introduce my self!
God Bless!

I don't regret it either. I am excited every day about! Here is to all of us, longer, healther, happier lives!

here's a guy's perspective..
if it ends up making a difference to him then you'll have to ask yourself if he's really the right kind of guy to be with..
if you're worried about it then tell him. get ahead of the issue, explain, and don't let him generate any ideas on his own before you talk about it.
good luck and congrats on the wl!

I would be absolutely lost if I did not have the support from fellow sleevers... It is so nice to have people to talk to about your problem and to help encourage you every step of the way.. Hope everyone has a terrific day!!

Welcome and congratulations on your decision. I was sleeved on Dec. 6 so I'm not too far ahead of you as far as post op. I don't regret any decisions I've made and I know that this was what I needed to save my life and my future with my family. I plan on enjoying my grandchildren and the great grandchildren after that.

Girl, you find you another surgeon! I am so sorry you had to endure someone so ignorant. I can't stand when people who are in a position to deal with the public act like they don't have any tact whatsoever. In this state we are already fragile mentally and it sucks that this surgeon was apparently having a bad PMS day that she had to take it out on you. You came there for her to help and support you. I'm sorry for the rant, it is just unnerving to hear doctors be so insensitive, I've ran into my fair share when I was going through a miscarriage, you wouldn't believe the crap I've heard...Keep your head up, there are surgeons that will operate on you. My surgeon told me to lose 30lbs mainly for the purpose of my liver, but he also said it wasn't a big deal if I didn't lose the 30, if I had lost 10 lbs, then that would have shrunk it some. You don't want to deal with that attitude after surgery. I would have cried too, but let her know her customer service skills were lacking and she needed to find a new profession if she didn't like to deal with the public....Sorry, there I go again LOL keep searching hun, you'll find a great surgeon, that is supportive and professional.

I'm so very sorry that a "professional" treated you that way! Ready4success took the words out of my mind though... if it's possible, I'd consider another surgeon after being treated so roughly. The circumstance and decisions you've made should never be taken in such a cavalier way... in my humble opinion anyway. Past that, I am sorry that they need you to reduce before they'll schedule you.

Seriously? that means when I get to goal I'll gain 13 inches..(400/30}..that can't be right, that would put me in the guiness book of world records for sure. Lmao
