Surgery date is 8-22. Will do pre op starting 8-6, so it’s two weeks of liquid diet. I KNOW this will be hard and I very much appreciate all you men and women out there sharing.
I was thinking that, yes-this will be hard-I can’t imagine it’s going to be harder than living all these years with shame, rejection, humiliation, isolation, lack of clothing choices AND weight related health issues to name a few. Hard? Been there-done that.
Bring it on!!!
I’m going to be a NEW person and I’m going to love it and I’m going to have fun and go horseback riding and and and...lots of stuff!! Shop for clothes!! Run -don’t-walk on the treadmill....
Im going to stick it out and SO CAN YOU!!

This is so encouraging!! My operative date is 8-22, am looking forward to MY Pre and post pictures!

Before and after... 300lbs to 175lbs. Surgery was 7/22/15.

I remember being pre-op and my favorite thing to do was look at progress photos and dream
I am 6 months, 10 days post op and I am down 128 pounds total. This isnt a very great pic since I have been sick, but i still took it because anything is better than my before!!

You will be just fine 👍🎚. Yes, please keep everyone posted!

My date is 8-22. Have completed all the requirements but this is the first opening available.
Just a comment about work...I am retired now and spent my life putting work first before other things in my life. I’m sorry I did that-no employer put me first in their business, quite the opposite. Take care of YOUR needs-the team can step up for a short time in your absence👍. Each one of them will learn and grow in the process.

Hi all, I’m new here. Appreciate all your posts.
Date for my sleeve is 8-22 YAY!! FINALLY!! Have been trying to get this done for YEARS. Failed the first time due to unexpected financial issues at the very last minute. Now have different insurance so all is well. DID have to start over with regard to all the requirements, appointments, procedures etc. l
Have discovered I am (DUH!) a food addict-been in denial all my life. Working on coming to grips with that and collecting tools to fight that battle with...don’t want to be my own worst enemy post op. Best wishes to all!! Looking forward to sharing the journey 👍🙏🏻
