Yeah I've got one pair of jeans I'm recycling until my surgery. Leggings are great. Thank goodness for Lularoe lol.

I'm getting surgery at the end of January. I need new jeans and clothes so bad but find myself not buying anything because I know I'm going to lose weight soon and don't want to waste my money!!!

So I am just about 7 months out since my surgery. I can honestly and easily say this surgery was the absolute best decision of my life. My highest weight was 433 lbs and my surgery weight I was 396. I am now down to 230 lbs even with a total weight loss of 203 pounds. Anyone having any doubts about this surgery all I can say is do it!! I was terrified but it was the best thing I've ever done

just stay focused on your goals, you got this.

Well my bodywork from Dec 5 showed my a1c too high. I get it tested again Jan 5th... If it's lower then I get to schedule surgery... So tired of waiting and starting to feel frustrated... Hard to stay positive sometimes.

I rarely take pictures but when I realized how much different I looked I had to.
I feel like a different person after 6 months.

@@Crissy Lynne, congratulations on surviving the nurse visits, and your engagement!

My insurance required a 12 month counseling/nurse program where they called every month to discuss goals and diet and etc. I graduate this program on December 19th and then I can get my surgery scheduled.
I'm a lower BMI of 34/35 5ft9 at 240 lbs. I'm very diabetic and am on several different medications and while I've never been EXTREMELY overweight, it's always been a battle. I'm hoping the sleeve will help me get my adapt to a new lifestyle and provide the tools I need to finally take the excess weight off. If successful I hope to be off most of my medications, I've heard those that follow the rules have alot of success controlling their blood sugars and don't have to take as many medications...I think I'm most excited about that.
In addition to doing this for myself and my health, I also have two kids a 7 year old and a 9 year old I'd like to set a better example for.
Also I'm recently engaged and am excited to lose the weight for my wedding next year!!!!

Welcome, Welcome, Welcome

hi newbie
having surgery will improve, get rid of diabetes
my doc says i/we will always be diabetic
but now it will be helped/controlled by healthy eating, lifestyle
not medication
you have a great attitude towards the sleeve and your new lifestyle
you are aware that the sleeve will help/assist you in losing weight
but YOU have a lot of work to do
you work with the sleeve, and the sleeve will work for/with you
wishing you a sooner than later DOS
good luck
kathy

So glad to know I'm not the only one!!

Hi, I had a Tummy Tuck back in 2006 re-do in 2007 and just completed the sleeve on 11/22. So far I haven't had any problems. I was border line diabetes & sleep apnea. Please keep in touch I'll let you know if any changes. But so far so good. Good Luck
