Hi I will think off you to day and belief you will do great can't wait to hear from you again:)

Alcohol is a big NO-NO if you want ur surgery to be a success.. It not only adds calories but will eventually increase the stomach capacity much more than it should go. So be careful, the side effects are what we want to avert and why we chose plication in the first place... I am 14 months out and can say that the possibility of increased capacity in plication is much more than a sleeve. So, the ball is in our and our hands only. We stay careful- we lose; we let ourselves lose- we gain..why would we want something like alcohol to rule our lives, when life can be much better without it..

What a GREAT NSV! I don't have a full length mirror at my house because I hated to see myself, but I think I'm ready to get one. Thanks for sharing!!!

It is so hard for our minds to catch up to our actual body size. I still see pictures of myself now, and I can't believe that they are actually of me. I was walking next to my skinny husband ( he has always been thin) and I saw our shadows, and I just couldn't believe that my shadow was smaller then his....that is a major NSV for me! Another NSV that I thought would never happen....my hubby is able to scoop me up in his arms and carry me! It is so thrilling, and makes me feel sooooo sexy!

My daughter and I were on vacation and had walked into a store that we have never been in. As we were walking around the produce section I looked across the store and I saw two people that had on our same outfits. The one I noticed first was the lady dressed like me, only she was much thinner then I was. Then I noticed the other woman, and realized she had the same outfit on as my daughter, I walked over to my girl to point the two out to her, and then it hit me! I wasn't looking across the store at two different women wearing our outfits, I was looking into a big mirror that was placed there ( I guess to make the store look bigger) and so of course I was seeing us....I just didn't realize that I was so much thinner then my mind gave me credit for. I still pointed it out to her while laughing at myself....we both started laughing so hard, that I am sure that anyone else that was around must of thought we were either completely nuts, or just on some kind of drugs! Lol
Well that I consider an NSV right there....not even recognizing myself in a mirror! Haha
Hope you enjoyed my silly little NSV!

Keep us updated when you can.

You should make one!

Bet they do !! ME !

I'm so excited for everyone!! Our dreams are coming true (sorry if that was corny). 5 weeks and counting :-D

October 22nd at Vanderbilt in Nashville TN :-)

I was approved for Feb. 7 but I ended up getting blood clots in my lungs. My vascular specialist said I needed to wait at least six months. I am now cleared for my surgery. My doctor is Dr. Phillip Price at Mt. Carmel Bariatric Center Of Excellence in Columbus Oh. His assistant is calling me this week to give me a surgery date in the last two weeks of October. He is coordinating with the vascular doctor to insert a screen to keep any clots that form from traveling to my lungs to heart. He also indicated that the weight loss will lessen chances of clots in the future. I am nervous but want this bad. I am at 267 lbs and am 5'5".

I am scheduled for October 21st!!! I am so excited! Any other October sleevers out here? I am from Ohio and cannot wait!!

I got my date (October 15th) and my insurance approval. I'm excited and nervous. Who else is being sleeved in October?
