Will want to hear more of your story and if it turns out to be September 5th, that is my one-year Surgiversity and I would be honored from now on to share That Date with YOU!

I can tell you what a difference the sleeve surgery has made for me at 54 years old in the last 8 months. I no longer have sleep Apnea, Gerd, Acid Reflux, or High Blood Pressure. I've gotten rid of all of those comorbidities. I feel so much better and more confident. Good luck on your WLS journey.

Oh your post is making me smile!!!!! Congrats on your weight loss & congrats on feeling so much better! These are the reasons why I decided to do the surgery in the 1st place. I have completely lost My mojo & the heavier I’ve gotten the more I stay home & hide! Here’s to getting back into the game of life!!!!! 😄

Me too, I hurt all over, from shoulder, back, hips and right foot (plantar fascitis). My son said the other day, "Mom, maybe you just need to walk!" I told him that would be great but when I start to walk it flares up the heel spur and my knee. Had right knee surgery year ago. Feeling bad because Hubby is losing weight d/t walking and he always ask me to join him but I can't due to foot hurting. I use to get injections in it but it doesn't work anymore. I use to sleep in a boot and once I hyper extended my foot somehow and threw the boot in the top of the closet. #somepeoplecan'twinforlosing!

i hear you on all the pain and co-morbidities ....and really hope you will soon be feeling so much better following surgery! and that a lot of these current issues will disappear so you'll have a lot less pain and want to get out and about again 🌸 i know the delay has set things back a bit but glad the new date is getting closer!

This surgery can’t come soon enough! Every damn part of my body hurts from my knees, hips, legs feet etc. I’m only 58 5’2 (apparently lost a damn inch) & 235. My body since January is NOT HAVING IT!
Can’t wait until the day I never have to speak one word about my health. It’s the most boring subject on the planet . I have developed all kinds of co-morbidities!! My surgery was postponed for a week & as frustrated as I am. I understand that I have to be in the best position to have this surgery. I am just soo frustrated about the daily pain & I’m so eager to reset my life & begin again!! No one ever wants to live their life in this stupid pain. It physically & emotionally hurts so much because I don’t even want to leave the house.

I am more than likely going to be having the sleeve in late August or early Sept. I am in the middle of my 6 month doctor regulated diet for my insurance coverage. Waiting is the worst! But kudos to you for recognizing what could have happened if you didnt wait!

So the reason I choose 8-2-19
Was because I'm an out doors kinda guy.. I love my fishing and taking dips in the lake.. my son turns 2 in April and I want to enjoy his day.. If I do it early I feel like I would get dehydrated with this central California heat and get to miss out on a lot of fishing and swimming with my little one

So I have Kaiser and I have attended the first class of orientation and I’m scheduled to begin the rigorous 12 week class on Aug 5 and ending Oct 28. I meet the guidelines with my co-morbidities. I honestly cannot wait to get the classes finished. I have seen some posts where people don’t do them and others who have. I understand why we need them, I just am beyond ready for this surgery. I’m in excruciating pain daily and I’m extremely exhausted day in day out. I want it all to end and I don’t know if I can wait out the long timeframe. It seems like Dec would be the surgery timeframe based on my reading. How did y’all do it? How did y’all get through these classes? I know the light at the end of the tunnel is faint right now, I’m just anxious at this point and wish it could be the big day already. I’m beyond ready to get my life back from pain. I understand there’s going to be pain from the surgery, however, it’s temporary. I keep telling myself at this point so is all my other pain... Looking forward to a healthier lifestyle!!
