    December 2013 Sleevers Come In!

    I'm taking off 2 1/2 weeks maybe 3. But I'm a hairdresser at a very busy salon. I only get a break if there isn't a client so I decided I didn't want to go back till I was 100% again. Plus being that I'm the 17th I figured I would just go back after the kids go back.

    Well I guess maybe since I'm allergic. They have done the tests differently. I have finished all my tests and just have a chest xray and two more nut appointments.

    4th Nut Appt.

    As long as your losing. I know they told me your last couple months you really gotta buckle diwn and lose because the surgeon could decide you haven't lost enough to shrink your liver

    December 2013 Sleevers Come In!

    I go tomorrow for one of my last three visits before surgery. I'm nervous I doubt I have lost any this month has been rough on me. I lost my grandma who was like a mother to me on the 10th . Then I switched jobs on the 15th. And now we are dealing with our apartments management because someone stole our rent money order out of the drop box. It has been extremely stressful this month. I hope I have lost something when I see the surgeon tomorrow. Wish me luck

    December 2013 Sleevers Come In!

    I will be December 17th Dr. Carcamo here in San Antonio. So excited I am 27 and have lost about 20 pounds so far on nutritionist diet plan. But I am terrified about loose skin. But I am ready to be healthy again. I just changed jobs. I am a hairdresser and am now at a fast paced salon. I have only told the owners and the manager and decided to ask off from Dec 17th to Jan 6th just so I am back to 100% and can keep up once I am back.

    Well I passed my stress test and echo scan and I also was cleared by the psychologist so now just 3 more nutritionists then surgery!!!!
  12. So I'm a hairdresser and am wondering how soon will I be able to go back to work? I am going to be scheduled for surgery either the second or third week of December. I know it varies on each person, but if any of you are hairdresser's how soon did you get back to work?
  13. Thanks I figure 2 to 3 weeks I hope!

    Im here in san antonio. Next Tuesday I go to do my stress test. Im 27 5'6 and 270 lbs. I am worried im going to fall off that dang treadmill.
  15. My sleeve is looking alot like christmas lol. It should be the second or third week of December. I live in San Antonio, with my two daughters (8 &6) and my fiance and thats it we don't have any other family here. To start off I don't have a good support team anyway besides him and his mother really. His mom lives 5 hours away. So my biggest worry is after surgery. Yes he will be here but with his job he will only be able to take off surgery day and maybe to bring me homre the next day. So I have no idea what I will do. I did just recently have my gallbladder taken out and I handled that pretty good on my own. But I just have no idea what or if I will need assistance in taking care of myself. His mom is going to see if work will allow her to take off. But with it being sooo close to Christmas who knows if she will even be able to. Any suggestions or words of encouragement. I'm a hairdresser and one of my great clients told me she would come check in on me if need be. I'm actually considering it.
  16. Thank you all. My daughter's are both very helpful and the 8 year old does know how to work the microwave. I am lucky to hsve such well behaved and loving helpful girls. They would come check on me after my gallbladder surgery. Plus the fiance will be home by 530 every day so dinner for them won't be an issue and they will still be in school which the bus will pick them up and drop them off. So no worries about that. So I guess I will be able to make it ok by myself if need be.
  17. Well I honestly don't have a babysitter even. I guess in a way I'm blessed to be able to work a schedule that goes with my daughter's schedule. And days that I do stay late my neighbor will keep my girls for me. But I feel kinda awkward asking my neighbor to come take care of me. I guess my question is do I have to have someone? Will I be able to handle it on my own?
