I saw an image that said 'don't dig your own grave with a knife and fork'. I did that for years. I'm not now. Please consider what you invested to be healthier for you and your loved ones.

So they are jealous that you are going to get healthy? Feel better, and with a better quality of life? I'd ask them what they don't want you to be healthy. Shoot I think insurance should cover at least one revision ... and 2 plastic surgeries for each person. LOL. Vic

Here in Virginia I've been sleeved for over 2 years. Vic

Already had mine - just cheering and praying people on.

3 weeks to go - are you counting down yet? I'll be pulling for you.

Hi, Be happy to be a mentor to someone. I'm big on encouragement. I've been thru a lot of with a not so great surgeon and with malnutrition, etc. so be happy to talk with those who want encouragement and who need some help with problems. I'm over 2 years out. Vic

Hi, Hoping to connect with other Hampton Roads sleevers. Victoria

Any one here? Vic

So proud of everyone here! Way to go guys. I've been swimming mostly but I'm going to get back in the run of things yet. Thanks for posting the notes guys, you all give me tons of inspiration.

Hi all, Massindex suggested this discussion. I was sleeved 12/15/11. Had a bout with malnutrition (ok, I won the Olympic swim for the semester, and beat the guy who had won EVERY swim challenge at the rec center in history) and seem to work on those a lot. I'm more of a swimmer, but running is right behind that. I'm looking for anything we can share and think of because PICC lines and backpack TPN interfere with my life. Thankfully my surgeon no longer will! I'm looking at triathlons too, if any one is interested. Vic
