  3. Hi Kamero I live in Brookfield. I'm having my surgery at silver cross in Joliet. Good luck to you also. Where are you having your surgery?

  6. Hi my name is crystal I'm scheduled for July 22nd. So excited and nervous ! I have 2 weeks of pre op diet 4 protein drinks a day and meat and veggies at night . I started my journey in dec 2012, at 318 today I'm 300 trying so hard to get out of 300's before surgery. I am getting my unbiblical hernia fixed at the same time hoping that doesn't make recovery harder. I'm in Illinois about 20 mins outside of Chicago having surgery done at Silver Cross Hospital in Joliet
  7. Hi Irene that would be great! Where are you from? I'm in Illinois about 20 mins outside of Chicago. I'm 34 yrs old and have two girls and married 12 yrs
  8. Hi My name is Crystal I am scheduled for surgery on July 22nd. I am looking for a buddy who is getting sleeved around that time.
  9. Hi pinkow100- My name is Crystal and my surgery is 7/22 I took 3 weeks off hoping that will be enough. I have read a lot of posts on this and everyone is different but seems 3 weeks is average. I know most people are still tired and don't have a lot of energy but seem to either go back 1/2 days or go to sleep early at night. I work in an office so I sit most of the day also so I am hoping that it won't be too bad. Good luck with Surgery!!!
  10. You aren't a freak, this has been the ONE thing I have been so worried about myself . I am praying i get it before surgery so I don't have to freak out.
  11. I am from Brookfield, IL . My husband was born in Ft. Collins Colorado. Still haven't been to visit he has been wanting to for year. Maybe next year we will. You aren't being affected by the fires are you? My prayers go out to all that are. Good Luck with your surgery. I hope this time is the final time for you.
  12. That is so nice to have someone to do this with. I start my preop on the 10th of July, I am more nervous about that then the actual operation. Good luck to you too!!!
  13. I also have Anthem BCBS I started out 318 lbs 5'3 and I have severe sleep apnea no other comorbidies besides bad knees and hips. I started my journey in Dec and now weigh 300 . I could have had my surgery in June but had already planned my vacation and my husbands in July . It was honestly much easier then I thought it would be and they are great!
  14. July 22nd for me too! So excited and anxious for that day! When do you start your pre-op diet?
  15. Thanks for info, I will have to look into trying some others!
