Welcome Connie, It is great to have you here on this forum. Can't wait to hear all about your experience with surgery and living the sleeved life. Jump right in and make yourself at home.

Welcome to the forum IGDiva. I also planned on getting the band until I did some research. Too many problems. I will be getting the sleeve next week. Charger, from my understanding you will start walking later the same day as surgery. Most Drs. also use the new leg band things that velcro around your lower legs. They tighten and release on your legs with an automatic air pump.

Thank you Oregon Rose. I don't have a lap top but, I will post as soon as I get home.

Hello and welcome to VST. You are gonna love it here. You will find lots of info. and alot of people that will share thier story. You are lucky that your insurance will pay. Good luck on your journey.

Welcome Henner I'm so sorry that you are having to wait so long. Hopefully things will get better soon with the health care system. Keep on posting and asking questions. You will find alot of info here and gain lots of new friends.

Welcome to the October sleeves month Kiki. Congrats. on your date. Looking forward to hearing more from you.

Glad to hear from you. I have been wondering how you are doing. It is good to hear that you had a good experience getting your sleeve. Looking forward to hearing your story.

Oh, I like that quote; My doctor said "Weight is gained 50 calories at a time." That is so true.

Hello Nana, Welcome to the forum. I also have 3 grandchildren that call me nanny. Good luck to you during your journey. Keep us updated.

Thank You Everyone! I am thrilled to recieve such a wonderful gift. Like I told Alex, finding this forum was a huge prize. Here I have found new friends and great support. A sleeve instead of the band. So thank you all. Hugs, Judy

I so want some popcorn right now, with extra butter. Breakfast-Eas chocolate shake Lunch-Turkey slices and cucumber. Dinner-2 hamburger patties grilled, and celery. What did everyone else have?

Cajun, I'm sorry we are gonna miss you too. We will still be Oct. sleeve sisters though.

Possum, It is good to hear from you. I'm sorry that you had a difficult time with your surgery. It is good to hear that you are able to eat something without any problems. Keep us posted on your progress.

Tiffy, I'm sorry about John's delay. I know that every minute seems like forever. Hope everything works out for next week and he has a safe return. Hugs, Judy

Well ladies is everyone ready? We are going be swooping down on Dr Aceves like a flock of chickens after a worm. Don't you all wear him out before Sue from SC and I get there. LOL Has everyone been good on thier pre-op diet?

Good for you Chancie. You are getting your exercise and your baby is getting hers too.

Good Luck and keep us posted on your recovery. I will be right behind you with my surgery in a few days.

Hello Susan and welcome to the forum. I will be arriving on the 30th for pre-op. I will stop by and say hello. Check to see if you need anything. Good Luck and I look forward to meeting you. Judy

Good Luck Millie and please keep us posted on your progress. Thank you for posting your story. I almost got the band till I came to this forum and read stories like yours. My insurance would pay for the band or by-pass. So I decided to self pay. I'm sorry about your pain and hope you get relief soon.

Shanda, it is good to hear from you. Congrats on your surgery and glad to hear that you were treated so well.

Hello w8. Welcome to the VSG family forum. You will find alot of support and info here. Where are you having your surgery? Looking forward to hearing from you.

Ivy, Welcome to our little sleeve group. Are you packed? I'm all ready to go. I will come around and visit on the 30th when I have my pre-op. It is going to be so much fun to meet everyone. We can call it a pajama party I guess, with everyone walking around in thier robes. LOL See you soon.

Daisy, I'm so sorry about your little terrier. I have had pets through the years and it is so hard to loose them. When one of my toy poodles died 3 years ago, I cried for 2 days. I still have one and like you, when she is gone I don't think I will get another one. It's too heartbreaking on these old nerves. I'm sending hugs your way.

Tiffy you look beautiful. The outfit is perfect. I can tell that you are so happy. Please give John a hug and a thank you from everyone for what he is doing for all of us. Judy
