I was sleeved 7 months ago start weight 306 and current weight 230 (:

Oh sh*t you look amazing!!!!!

<p>I am new here!! I am being sleeved 3/6/14. I am kinda nervous.</p>

Welcome!!! Congrats on your surgery date!

I was 26 when I had mind done and I carried most my weight in my stomach! I was 296 pounds when I had my surgery! As soon as I was cleared for work outs I stared core workouts because I was told that if you build up the muscle the skin attaches to it! I also started as soon as my wounds were healed palmers with extra elastin on my stomach twice a day! I have lost 120 pounds and I do have a little skin but my doctor assures me that if I keep working it will get there! The one other thing I have done is the It works body wraps! It has helps detoxify my skin and snaps back faster! I am very happy with all my results and my stomach which I never thought I would ever say!

I want to start off by saying congratulations on the new you! Ill be sleeved march 24th or 31st. I see you've been on your journey for a while and was wondering if you could help me after with the prevention of saggy skin. Did most of it go away now?

I started mine. I'm on it for 2 weeks. The Vitamin with the shake thing makes me sick. Going on 3rd day and head hurts. Guess because I'm detoxing from carbs.. March 12th can't come soon enough.

It's great you're so close I'm so jealous lol. I'm happy for you girl and keep up the good work! There is a light at the end of this!

<p>Thanks, have you started your liver shrink diet yet? They told me Id be on it starting next week. Worried </p>

OMG! no that's way to long. My surgeon told me to start it exactly a week from surgery. I know it will be a struggle but knowing that it has to be done or I can't have surgery will be my motivation.

<p>Good luck everyone on your surgery...welcome to all the newbies and I am hoping to be sleeved in April...yes I am nervous and anxious at the same time</p>

Thanks Lynn!! Congrats on your date and I feel the same.

<p>Finally got my date yesterday!!! Pre op this week, OPAC Appt next and Surgery 3/28! Nervous and happy at the same time. </p>

OMG!!! Congrats! This is going to change your life forever! Everyday I get a little more exited.. I have a couple weeks left and it's just not seeming real lol

Congrats! I wish my date was in the beginning however I'm glad it's going to get done regardless. I know how you are feeling I can't wait to experience the same as the time gets closer.

I'm good. I think I'll get more anxious the closer the date comes along.. how about u?

<p>Fellow ATLer here. I'm 16 months post-op but would be glad to provide any insight.</p>

OMG you look amazing! A whole new person!! Congrats on your success and I will definitely keep in touch. I'm sure I will need advice sooner or later.

Hiya curvy.. My surgery date is March 12th. Doing my presurgical blood work tomorrow, then taking my preaurgical class in the 26th. It's so exciting, nerve racking all rolled up together. Seems like time is going so slow!!

Congrats! I wish my date was in the beginning however I'm glad it's going to get done regardless. I know how you are feeling I can't wait to experience the same as the time gets closer.

I am starting to get restless about the date.....wishing when I wake up, it will be the day of surgery already...lol

Unbesleeveable welcome! Congrats on your date as well, are you excited or whattttt? Lol

That's soooo encouraging! I keep telling myself if I do those things and lifting weights then I'll be just fine.

Well I'm glad you listened to your heart and knew what was best for YOU.. I'm so scared to tell my family and friends because I know they will discourage me. I really need this surgery, it's the perfect tool to help me change my life. I just don't know what to do.

That sounds interesting I will have to check that out! Thanks!

Okay let me know how it goes! :-) I know this weather is just ridiculous. It's so bipolar! Good luck

Unbesleeveable welcome! Congrats on your date as well, are you excited or whattttt? Lol

Yes that's where I seem to be. It's all worth it in the end so I can't complain.

Just approved by my insurance last week, my pre op appt is the end of this month, which we schedule surgery on that date. I figure late March/April is when they will get me in. Would like to find a buddy to chat with thru this process, because frankly I am scared lol.

Curvy_goddess who is doing your surgery? I'm in ATL too.

I'm going to Emory. You?

I'm going to Peachtree Bariatrics
