Holy cow am I excited! I didn't intend to buy a pair of pants today but I just wanted to try on a couple to see where I was at. I went into a local Farm and Ranch store and spoke to the gal there. I showed her what I was dealing with I'm told her what size I was and that I was tired of looking like I was wearing a diaper on my ass everywhere that I went. She suggested based upon my current size that I go to 35x30. This lady is absolutely insane was my freaking thought! Imagine my surprise when they were actually too loose! I needed a 34x30! Several weeks ago I got out of my van at a customer's place and my shorts fell off my butt. I really didn't think that I was quite this far along. I will officially be 6 weeks out tomorrow and I've lost 7 pounds since Monday! I'm down 47 pounds since starting my pre op diet on 8/29. I'm officially the lowest weight that I've been in mt ENTIRE adult life at 265 pounds! It was such an adrenaline rush that I actually bought the dang pants even though I wasn't intending to.
Last weekend with my diaper ass Levis.


Today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!(perhaps to many exclamation points? Heck no!)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello everyone! I'm in Amityville and I'm having my surgery tomorrow (October 3rd) in Mineola at Winthrop University Hospital.

@@ginabee38 sure! As soon as I can I'll let you know how it went!
@@thatmeanone I'm happy to hear you had such a great experience there! I hope I do too!

That's where I had mine in August. They are wonderful. The care I received was absolutely top notch.

I'd probably have a short fuse too...the day before surgery and you can't eat to ease anxiety. I don't know if you do that also, but I think I would have a problem with that. Good luck to you...when you're feeling up to it post-op, I'd like to hear how you're doing.

Hello everyone! I'm in Amityville and I'm having my surgery tomorrow (October 3rd) in Mineola at Winthrop University Hospital.

I just wanted to update you guys! I finally got in touch with the bariatric coordinator for my surgeon's office and she told me that we can still go ahead with my surgery on Monday! I was so scared that it would have been postponed. After my slip up, I've stuck to the liquid diet meticulously. I can't wait!

@ did you mention that you ate something to your surgeon? @@Deja007 when is your surgery? Do you plan on telling your surgeon that you are something? That's my biggest concern..that I told them and they won't do the surgery. I figured I'd be honest but I hope I didn't shoot myself in the foot by doing that.

Yea i had my 45th birthday last week ate one of the biggest slice of pizza and small slice of cake it was really good tho lol

Honestly I did not have pizza pre-op! It was three years ago, and I know I ate something but can't remember what! Probably a candy bar lol!

@@KristenLe thank you for your words of encouragement! @@busybeebug thank you for your words of encouragement as well! Did you tell your surgeon about you slipping up? I felt extremely guilty so I called my patient liaison and left her a message telling her what I did.

Don't be so hard. 6 days out you have time to get back on track and finish the preop diet strong. We all mess up and make mistakes. The only thing we can do is acknowledge it and move on! Congrats on your upcoming surgery

I can't help but laugh as my surgeon said he found a hamburger in a stomach so what we ate he would find. I was scared he would find pizza in my stomach!

@joycecamp1992 I'm proud of you for telling your liaison and owning up to it! ????

Don't be too hard on yourself. Pick yourself up and finish strong. Definately don't eat anything in the 48 hours,before. I slipped up before surgery. I felt bad, I fussed about it and then I moved forward. If you dwell, you can sabotage yourself. Hang in there!

I would agree that your results don't indicate a fatty liver. You should probably be okay but it's important that you follow the plan moving forward. Remember the goal - stay strong!

Good evening everyone! Yesterday I got the great news that I have been approved for the sleeve! It was submitted on the 6th and approved yesterday (the 12th). Today, I received a call from the office to schedule and I'm all set for October 3rd! I can't believe I'm in the home stretch now. It seems like yesterday that I went to my seminar. Now here I am 6 months later with my surgery in just under 3 weeks. I start my 2 week liquid diet on Monday, which just so happens to be my birthday! Even though I now have to Celebrate a day early, this is the best present I could have ever gotten!

Thank you for the congratulations everyone! liquid diet, here I come!
