I just love posts like these - although i'm sure of my decision to have this surgery - your post has just confirmed why I am so sure.

I am so happy for you!! I can relate to the hermit lifestyle because I am one. Can 't wait to get sleeved so that I can be as happy as you are.

You two - this is fantastic, healthy, happy, and alive. What more is there in life.

You need to take your own advice and try and love yourself -- most of us on here felt exactly like you do -- sick and tired of being sick and tired -- but remember removing 85% of your stomach is not the magic answer --you won't wake up from this surgery immediately being able to feel your hip bones again -- this is only a tool, it only works if you follow your drs. post op orders to a T. That being said, I hope you are able to do this, I wish this surgery would have been around sooner -- I can tell you, there are barely any photos of me with my sons as they were growing up -- I don't want to see this happen to anyone else. I spent the last 10 years feeling just like you do.

Not feeling like yourself happens on both sides, and even if she did have her surgery in Mexico here PCP can refer her to a nutritionist

Keep us posted and just take one day at a time

I hope you don't mind if I borrow from your list - most of your goals are mine also.
