Good luck with your surgery.. sounds like that paddleboard wont be collecting dust for long. I am totally with you all the way and I hope we both have great success! Only a day prior to my surgery....Thank you for posting, enjoy the Island, I one day hope to wear a bathing suit and just feel comfortable... for now being in the desert just wearing shorts will be great! .

Keep me posted on your success! Good luck once again...

I am 38 and have ran 13 half marathons so far and done a Ragnar race along with other 5k races. It is not for the lack of exercise, I am active I just can not get this weight off my body. I hope with this procedure I will lose the weight and be able to walk the Tillman in April and start to build up for a half marathon in Nov, then by June of next yet a full. Hopeful but I will let my body do all the talking. I have a feeling it will be slow.... but I am hopeful.

Good luck with both of you on your surgeries... I hear take gas x strips and chapstick, two major things.

So after a friend of mine had her sleeve done about 3 years ago I have now decided to go ahead and do it myself.

I am nervous, anxious, scared, excited, and so full of different emotions. My Dr is only advising me of a 1 week pre op.

5 days of Protein for Breakfast and lunch, then two days of strict liquids. I think this is the one I am most worried about, will I be starving and bitchy?

I hope all goes well I am nervous and not telling my youngest child who will be 10 on March 27th.

I hope to get from 218 to 140. My goal is by my 40th birthday to be able to run a full marathon in a healthy body.

Good luck fellow sleevers... I hope you all reach your goals!

I am March 21st with Dr Garcia in MX...good luck everyone... its a little nerve racking but I am eager to see the lbs disappear!

Mine is March 21st with Dr Garcia, I can't wait but reading all these forums I am getting nervous! Good Luck!
