I need to do something... I've been up over 20 hours!!!!! I don't know what to do!!!! I'm miserable!!!

I'm sorry about your sister.. BUT, my life was saved by having sleeve surgery. Perhaps people should be warned against the medical staff that ignored your sister's symptoms as well as the risks of surgery.
I knew the risks, but I was willing to take them and not be confined to a dialysis unit, cane, and eventually a hospital bed due to obesity related illnesses...
I'm glad you posted your sister's story and there are several on this board who have had severe complications.. A few may even regret surgery.. but what thing is life is 100% favorable all the time? Nothing... People should read your story and make an informed decision about what they want to do.. Blessings and thoughts of healing toward you and your sister...

I had to double my prevacid per my doc... I've done the baking soda a few times too.. I can't have any food within 2 hours of bed time either...
Hope you feel better...

You're doing awesome!!! I'm happy for you!!! I really want to get this 26 pounds off in 6 weeks!!! I want to be under 300 for the first time in a LOOOOOOONNNNGGGG time!!
Your post really encouraged me!!!! Best wishes!!

I think all of us experience that "What in the world??!!!" Moment.. most of the time it's fleeting!!! Mine was... so I thought!! LOL.. Early out 1-2 weeks.. I had thoughts that maybe I should have gotten a haircut or a tattoo or something.. but then the weight, inches and food chains started falling off...
This is my thread about my first 4 days... Many have chronicled their journey here.. I hope you find the encouragement you need to start living the "Sleeved" life... Best wishes...

Thanks Diva and everyone else who keep this forum open, honest and supportive!! I'm excited to start this journey towards a healthier life...

I don't really look at other obese people in judgement... I want to go over and tell them about the sleeve though...

I echo Diva and a several of you guys.. That's the beauty of life.. My choice should not diminish anyone else's... People feel all sorts of ways about WLS, birth control, etc.... their personal choice and it doesn't influence my actions either way...
Think how many people have been saved by radical medical means and the how many people have died when they could have been saved by a simple injection... Same with the sleeve... some chose a different way, I chose my Sleevina and I love her.. she helped ME save my life!!!!

Sorry to hear that.. but I believe nothing just happens!!! Take the extra time to breath, relax and prepare for the ride of your life!!!

Hey!!! I'm Tina... or Fav.. Which ever... I'm a 36 yo teacher and singer from Chicago..... I've recently started my 6 month medically supervised program... I'm excited about starting the process to changing my life... I've never really felt my weight until recently.. I have about 200 lbs to lose.. (CW 373.5)... I really don't look like I weigh that much, but I camouflage well! I'm tired of hiding behind the camo!! I was meant to be HOT PINK!!!!

Congrats beginning your journey and your successes thus far!! Let's keep in touch!!!

Awesome job Ericka!!! I'm trying my darnedest not be a slave to the scale!!! I'm down about 50 including pre-op.... Trying to not be so paranoid about eating and stuff... UGH.. it's so hard!! But I love my Sleevina.. I'm down from a 30/32 to a 22/24.. mostly 22s now!!
