  3. Great. Have no problems with that at all keep me informed.
  4. Good luck to you on your surgery. Obviously your having this surgery to look fantastic on the outer and much more healthier on the inside. It's a natural thing to be kind of nervous. I remember how nervous I was because I was afraid of the unknown. But everything turned out just fine. 5 years later I'm still loving the new me. At times it was challenging as I had some ups and downs but when you want it and go for it you will not be defeated. Get ready for a new you on the outside and the inside and don't be afraid. Embrace it. Can't wait to see the best of you.
  5. Yes I have done a good job of keeping the extra weight off. It's been a lil over 5 years and I have stayed disciplined. No extra skin. I work out constantly and whole your losing weight you tighten the skin as you lift weights. I'm thrilled still til today. That surgery saved my life. Thank you.
  6. Congratulations Brookie. Good Luck. I got mine 5 years ago and it was the best decision I’ve made in my life.
  7. I remember when i got my date in January 2013. I was all nerves just like you as I was afraid of the unknown. Believe me when I tell you I was also a bunch of nerves and started to doubt if I was doing the right thing. The Sleeve surgery saved my life. I’m texting you now because of it. Without this surgery I would not be alive today. I love the new me cause I couldn’t stand the old me. Stay encouraged, stay strong and go for it. We are here for you.

  10. I was a Type 2 Diabetic taking 5 shots of Insulin through the stomach a day, 13 pills a day for Sleep Apnea, High Blood Pressure, High Cholesterol, and Rheumatoid Arthritis. 4 months after surgery I lost 68 pounds and no longer on Insulin at all and 13 pills down to 1. ????
