Oh boy. Was I wrong!! Geez you are going through a lot. How amazing tho to be part of a research study and get Lipo at the same time! Two fer one! Really hope it goes well for you. Can't wait to hear about afterwards. How long do you stay in the hospital?

Wait a sec. Finding:Stacy SIX MONTHS???? DARLING I LOVE YA

Congratulations

My surgery is Aoril 24th also. It's true I'm not that big but I but my height in wrong - I am onlky 3 oot 7.
Or at least it feels lke it! I've got so many related probs - sleep apnea, bad knees, weak bladder, etc. Plus I've had cancer twice already and my dad died of heart disease. I just want to be more healthy!!! We are on the path!!!!
PS Can someone tell me how to reply directly to a comment. I just joined and I can't igure it out (See!! NO F's)

Also Cass, when is your surgery? I see that you're only 250 pounds. My gosh, girl. You'll be at goal probably six months after surgery.

I don't have a time yet. But imagine! You'll be done by 8 am!! So exciting

Love this post. You make me laugh! Good luck everyone!

What time is everyone's surgeries on Monday? Mine is 7:10. I'm wondering if there's anyone earlier than me?

I'm officially down 60 pounds. Today is my 4 month sleeve anniversary. I can't believe i did it. 35 more until i hit my goal.
I found out on this journey that i really love weight lifting and boxing. I also found out that healthy eating isn't as bad as i thought it would be. I'm loving my new lifestyle. I don't know why i didn't do this sooner.

I wish love and support to all the CPAP users (is that how you even spell it?). I am also one of them - I must admit that NOT having it was worse. I got in alot of car accidents and would fall asleep at red lights I was so exhausted. Plus my teenagers would yell, ;MOM YOU SOUND LIKE DARTH VADER WHEN YOU SNORE!!'
It would be so wonderful to think that my airway isn't closing repeatefly (like more than 100 times a night) because I am so overweight! To think I could shift in bed better (I almost wrote '****' because my F key is wonky!! ha ha that was probably next)
In any case, I am wishing all CPAC / CPAP / CCRAP ha ha machines to be retired to the fat hall of fame.
GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!!!!
THANK YOU FOR BEING THERE!!

Congratulations to everyone sugery is April 24

I'm 43 and the aches and pains are exactly why I'm doing this surgery next Wednesday. I keep reading the success stories and I get excited thinking that might be me next year.....praying that it will be me next year as I don't want to fail. I need to get healthy. As you stated, this surgery will be a miracle for me. All the very best for Monday!

I know, I was thinking about reaching onderland yesterday. Crazy isn't it? Very surreal.
When I had all my final appointments last Monday, everyone from the anesthesiologist's nurse to my doctor's nurse, to my dietician, to my lab tech all talked the same talk, 'When you're 155...". No one said if, they all said when, because losing the majority of this weight is going to happen. I'll be honest. Up until December 21, 2016, I was ok if I died. I didn't see there was any way to lose 150-200 pounds at my age (41). I didn't want to live like this being so limited and achy all the time and I was just tired. This surgery is truly a miracle for many of us.

This is one of my main goals as well. I hate wearing my CPAP. I'm hoping I'm one of the cases that can go off of it once I hit a healthy BMI, but I don't know. My surgery is on Monday morning, so I'll see you on the loser's bench very soon. Good luck on your recovery and I hope you can get off your machine even months before the year is over.

I'm praying for you that you will get off the CPAP before next year

I finally got my date for surgery!!!! So happy and nervous at the same time. Anyone else being sleeved on April 24th? I can't believe I only have two month left!
