Hi Everyone, I'm faily new to this group and I just wanted to introduce myself. I'm a married 30 yr old mother of two and have taken this step to have the sleeve done. My starting weight is 265lbs and i'm excited and a little bit nervous. I'm more nervous about being here for my two girls and waking up from anesthesia to be here for my girls. When i weigh the risks of staying overweight with this high blood pressure vs the risks of surgery, i think I'm better off having surgery. I look forward to talking with you all!! Stephanie

You look great!!!!!!

I'm scheduled for 11/7... Super excited!!

It took me approx 7 days (business) to here that I got approved... Scheduled for 11/7!!!

good luck!!!!

Good luck!!!

I get that all the time too, don't pay her no mind, but do report it.

Hey everyone!! I'm new to this forum and I was looking for a support group for my sleeve journey I'm pretty sure I've found the place I want to be. I'm a 30 yr old RN mother of 2 beautiful girls ages 1 & 5 and married to an amazing man. Now with that being said you'd think I'm all set, right? Actually, not really. My weight has been an issue all my life, even as a child I remember being called fat. I've done eeeeeevvvvvvveeeerrrrrryyyyttthhhhhhhiiiinnnnggto try to lose weight... It just hasn't worked. After the birth of my last daughter, I've ballooned up to 260 lbs, been put on blood pressure meds and it's now taking a toll on me. I'm now in the process of getting approved for the sleeve. I'm done with all the Dr appts ( as of yesterday) and now I just wait to hear of my approval and set a date. Hopefully I'll be able to get it done in early December. I'm excited and nervous at the same time. I NEED to do this, I want to be here for my family. I look forward to getting to know people on here and getting support from you all. Thanks you in advance and God bless!!

I've received my official surgical date!!! November 7th @ 12:15 pm!!! I don't know why all of a sudden, I'm nervous, but it's definitely good nerves, I'm going to be steadfast in prayer and continue to be positive!!!
