People have been telling me that from the begining.. I know that they all see me as not needing it.. but at the end of the day it's how you feel in your own skin.. take care and good luck next week!

Good luck to all that are getting sleeved tomorrow.. wishing you all a smooth surgery and speedy recovery!!

Welcome.. I don't know any recipes for purees.. just wanted to tell you welcome..

Congrats on the date Lap2sleeve.. wishing you luck!

Best of luck to you.. Wishing you a smooth surgery and a speedy recovery.. keep us posted!

Good to hear that you are doing good.. hope you have a speedy recovery..

If you want it request it..

You will do fine.. but if the doctor asks.. make sure that you tell them that way there are no surprises for either one of you.. I would hate to hear that you were sedated and then woke up to find that your surgery wasn't done.. so be 100% honest with your doctors.. not trying to scare you! I wish you the best.. wishing you a smooth surgery and speedy recovery!

27th is my date.. super excited..

Hope everything went well for you.. And you are at the beginning of a speedy recovery

Congrats on the approval.. Hope you hear something soon

Good luck Dee.. You got this.. I start mine on the 13th.. Surgery date (if everything comes back good) is the 27th.. Super excited

Hey Shannon.. As someone before me said.. Make sure you do a lot of research on your doctor and your choice. I stumbled upon this option by talking to friends that have had the Lap-Band. I have a 9 and 6 year old. They keep me busy.. Sometimes too busy. I know that I want to be around for a long time so I can spend time with them and my family. I see some of the complications extra weight does to you through issues my family has had. I don't want to be a burden to my children when they get older because I didn't do what I could to take care of myself when I was younger. If I'm a burden to them I want it to be in the fun annoying ways.. long story short.. I want to be here for my kids, to play and have fun with.. I want to stop living my life on the sidelines.. I know there are risks.. But I'd rather take those risks now and salvage what's left of my life while my kids are young.. Then not do it and not really have a life worth living when I'm older.. Just my thoughts. Take care and if you need anything everyone is always here, Crystal

You can do this Ladybug.. Just keep your eye on the prize..

I went this morning and met my surgeon.. He is SUPER nice.. I got my appointment set up for my EDG on the 12th. They are going to put in a Bravo pH monitor to make sure I don't have acid reflux of GERD. I start my liquid diet on the 13th.. Go for pre op anesthesia testing on the 19th.. And given nothing comes back from my EDG bad my surgery is scheduled for the 27th... I am SOOOOOO freaking excited and have my fingers and toes crossed that everything comes back good.. I finally am seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.. It's almost here and I can taste it..

Given nothing comes back on my EDG mine is the 27th.. Super excited

Met with the surgeon this morning.. And as long as nothing comes back on my EGD my surgery date is going to be August 27th.. I am super excited

Met the surgeon this morning.. My date has been moved.. As long as nothing comes back on my EDG my surgery date is August 27.. I am SUPER excited

Happy for you.. Hope you hear something soon!

I meet mine for the first time tomorrow as well.. I know he's going to schedule my EGD.. but I think that's all he's going to schedule.. Hope this helps you! Good luck tomorrow

Way to go..

I guess it's just because I'm not used to people focusing on what and how much I eat.. And with my close friends and family monitoring what goes into my mouth it makes me self conscious.. I am normally by far from self conscious

Congrats.. I hope to have my date soon.. Hope all goes well for you

Welcome.. I hope all goes well for you
