This month! I got approved yesterday and I got the call to start my two week liquid diet tomorrow and my surgery is 11/20/13 @ 1pm!!!

Holy smokes! I am scheduled for the 20th!! That was so fast!!!

That is fast! I started my 6 months of appts in May and I JUST got approved today!! All of these appointments are SO worth it! I am so ready for this life changing event!

Congrats!! How long did it take for them to schedule you after they told you that you were approved??

Just keep working at it! I think you will be just fine! (:

I'm an 18 year old boy getting the sleeve, my advocate just called me and said I'm approved and going to get scheduled... I STARTED CRYING IN THE STORE!!! I am beyond happy and excited!!! Can I get some support and stories please?! Thank you all in advance!!!♥

Yeah I woulf br scared to leak or blow out my new stomach! How bad was you pain afterwards? I have a pretty demanding job and I'm only able to get like 4 days off... will I be able to stand and walk around for 6-9 hours a day??

Woo! I'm waiting to get my sleeve and I want to follow the diet plan to a T... Would it be bad for me to start dieting like 4 weeks before my surgery? I mean like... Liquid diet. Lol. I want to drop at least 15-25lbs more before my sleeve.

I am very excited and your guys support and storues are really giving me a confidence boost! Is there anyone that has had the surg and has their success story/how long it took to heal or lose some weight? I know it won't be an instant result type thing and I want to be biking and jogging again within the first month... is that a possibility??

Thanks guys! And I can't wait to get my surgery scheduled. I just want to lost this weight and be able to be a real, active guy!

Sorry for the type-o's.. lol

I have been *fat* since I was about 7... I have tried every diet and workout program, some worked for a while, but they always just stopped working. Then I would give up. I was never able to be in football or do things other teen boys could... Not because I was too big but because of the fear and ridicule. At one point (9th grade) a group of 11th graders were following me around campus throwing rocks at me calling me a fat fa**ot.. Now that I have been doing online school, working a steady job for 3 years eith good pay, and have other things in my life together, shouldn't I treat myself to this amazing operation? I only have my final weigh in then I get to have my surgery pushed thru to my insurance which is a forsure thing... Some of my friends (a few that are bigger themselves) arw saying I shouldn't do it or that I don't deserve it.. I want to live a normal and happy life and do the things I couldn't do in my teen years in my 20's... Is that so much to ask? I just want some support and guidance... Thanks in advance
