"You people" with no liquid diets are making me want to slit my wrists haha *coughs up Protein Shake and drowns in it*

I went to my pre-op appt yesterday and the doctor says to me " do you know what you'll be having for your last meal?" And I told her that I won't be having a "last meal" because I'm ready for change..... I'm ready to get healthier and don't want to go crazy... U know?

Amen Monique! We are going to be 30 cents!! (Dime x 3) hehehe

The prayer.. Lord we love you and you're Our Father. We can and will do all things through Christ who gives us our strength. We declare that the decision we had made lines up with your will and that you continue to be the healer and helper that your are. Everyone under going surgery or have had surgery will have a steady recovery. We declare no leeks, dehydration, healthy mental attitude, and strength to endure. In Jesus name. Amen :-)

I'll be having surgery by Dr Mithani in New York!!! I'm excited and nervous all at the same time!!!

I'm November 7th.... Getting ready!!!

I think this is not a process you should rush into. My insurance approved me really fast and I was almost not ready for it. Things start happening really fast after that. Kaiser has pretty straightforward guidelines. you either meet the requirements or you don't. I would just do what they recommend, and learn the information. It's a huge, life-changing decision, and I think the time required is important.

Congrats girl!!!!

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

Keep up the good work girls! I am an RN 6 months out and down 98 lbs as of last week. Had been on 6 different pills for com obits. Off 4 of them and hopefully off the rest next month. I have 3 kids and said to myself I could not die young and from something stupid. So the surgery, is a great tool. I now have a new relationship with food and life! Keep going.

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

I'm Crystal and today (10/16) is my 30th birthday. I'm having surgery on Nov 1 in Anchorage, AK. No pre-op diet, but I'm going to do Protein Shakes and lean meats/veggies starting on Friday for myself. I'm a nurse and mom of 2 little ones. My husband (and super duper best friend) is active duty.
My current weight: 281
Goal: 130-135
Height: 5'4"
NSV/goal: to hike one of the local mountains here in AK before we move next summer.
Let's do this!!!

YOU CAN DO IT!!! START WALKING.

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!!!

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!!
