Mrs King, I'm also June 5th but that's a Thursday. Freaked out for a bit. Just wanted to let you know incase you are planning for a Friday date.
But I'm not so nervous yet. Or excited. I just want the day to come. I want to be done with it so I can start with this new life I have been waiting for. Congrats to all us June Sleevers!

Yaay! So excited for us. It does feel like it's forever & a day away but I'm sure the time will go by very quickly. Are you ladies nervous yet? Excited? Have you started taking your Vitamins? Trying Protein Drinks, shakes, powders? I've started on vitamins but not Protein yet. I need to do that ASAP! I'm excited for JUNE this year! Hopefully I won't have to cover up under so much clothes this summer.

Well anyway, I'm glad excited that I finally got a date, June 5th. I really wanted it to be sometime during the end of May but that didn't happen. My family will be going out of town, to Disney to be specific, a few days after my surgery because my cousin from Mexico will be making his fist trip here. I'm so sad I won't be joining them but my parents keep telling me I need to look at the bigger picture, or should I say smaller. Haha. I have my preop appointment May 27th. I'm curious as to what kind of diet he will put me on! I'm just excited to get this going! So who else has a June Date? Who is hoping for a June Date? Are you ready yet? Nervous? Excited?

Mine was 2 days ago. My doc kept me another night because of the same thing. I was feeling nauseous too. I have to go home with oxygen because they noticed I wasn't getting enough at night. I'm kind of bummed about that but it is much needed apparently. Heading home in a few hours.

How are all of you early June Sleevers doing???
Are you June 5th Sleevers ready? I'm SO ready to get this over with. Not looking forward to any pain but, no pain no gain, or lose in this case I guess. Well, good look to everyone!

So I told my cousin I was getting this surgery done & she flat out said how stupid I'm being & how all I need to do is exercise & eat healthier. What I find funny is she is overweight herself & is criticizing me & my choice to become healthier. I've struggled with weight issues since a child & so has she, so for her to tell me that.. Really pisses me off. I told her maybe I should try another diet pill or two & see if that worked then gain the weight back just like her. All she said was "well it works I'm not that big!" I don't want to say she is "Jealous" but it feels like it everytime the topic is brought up. She is one of my closest cousins but has always been very greedy & self absorbed but she is my cousin. I know I don't need her approval or anything it's just very irritating to hear her negativy. I gues she just won't hear anymore about it even though she is the one to ask all the time. Anybody else have someone like this around? Luckily another cousin of mine has had the lap band surgery & is completely supportive & has been successful! So I guess it sort of balances out..

Congrats to all you ladies. Each day is one step closer to beginning a whole other chapter of our lives. I'm so excited. I don't see my surgeon again until May 27th which is when he will let me know what kind of preop diet I will be placed on.

3 people know about my surgery, my mother, my best friend and my hairdresser (dont y'all tell her everything? ) My mother is gung ho because she knows how sick I have been and that I am doing this to be healthy, my best friend is concerned and being in the medical field has asked a lot of questions but supports me and will always be on my side. My hairdresser...I'm not sure except she is ready and willing to help if I start losing a lot of hair! As for the rest of them...friends and family...I have spent 30 years being the fat one, the funny one, the one with the pretty eyes...I'll let them have their opinion and I will know the reason I am doing this is I want a future and if I don't do this it will not be the long happy one I envision.

Fear of negative comments was a major reason I didn't want to tell anyone I was having surgery. If I could have, I'd have done the whole process without anyone ever finding out. But I was surprised that my parent's first reaction was one of support when I told them.
But I believe some people make negative comments and want to hold you back because they don't want to be left behind. If you don't succeed, then they can feel better about their own failures.
Now that I'm more than a year post-surgery, I don't feel any twinge of regret and telling people is no big deal. I've never had a negative comment about my surgery, but if I do get a negative comment, I'm just going to tell them that I needed surgery because I couldn't lose the weight on my own. I was waaaay past fixing my weight problem by switching to diet Coke! And if they feel they can lose the weight through diet and exercise, then good for them.

She's just jealous.

I've seen a similar post about a best friend with a little more time. Turns out that best friend wanted to know more about the surgery after she saw how successful it had been. I'm not saying that this will happen, but know this is your journey and your cousin must travel hers. Know too that in the short-term, you will likely not be able to count on your cousin..... Maybe someday.
In the meantime, we are here.
