Avoiding Water parks with my daughter because I'm too fat
Not doing outdoorsy things because I need to stay "covered up"
Being offered unsolicited advice about how to lose weight
Being the "fat sister"
Feeling self conscious when I speak in front of groups because of my weight
Avoiding events because I can't find anything to wear that will diminish my weight

Hi - I'm KiKi and I am having surgery on September 19, 2013 and I'd LOVE to connect with another "sleever" in the Alexandria, VA/DC area! Please email me at dckiki@gmail.com if you would like to compare notes on getting sleeved.

Well I'm sitting in my hospital room writing this with the grogginess of the pain meds but the biggest smile ever! I'm so happy my new journey has began ! Pain and nausea coming out of surgery was HELL! But I burped about 10 times and then continually punched my pain med button! Now that I'm controlling my pain its not so bad and I'm so excited for the rest of my life!!

Hello everyone! I am new to this support group and just briefly tell you my story.
I am having surgery on September 20 in Burbank California. I began looking into the surgery this year and to my surprise was approved by my insurance. My heaviest wt was 311lbs and currently am 276lbs. I began my preop liquid diet and mentally preparing myself for the changes. My fam and friends are supportive, thankfully. I also am lucky to have a close friend who had her surgery last year ( she honestly convinced me because she is doing amazing! !)
I am excited to know that I am not alone in this journey. I look forward to reading the posts of this community!
