Hey its me again!

I have had a few responses and am excited to have a few friends that are sharing my sleeve day. Anyone else getting sleeved on March 25th? I'd love to get to chat with you.

Anna,

I will be there on the 25th for Pre op testing so I will check in on ya if I can to see how you are. I know you will do well. Then I will be back on April 5th for my big day. I really dont look at mine as getting the sleeve but getting this "BLEEPING"(cant really use the word i want to) band out of me.

Kathy

Hey Kathy,

I will be there for test on the afternoon of the 25'th. Will you still be there that afternoon?

Teresa

I think I am getting all my testing done with the group that will be having surgery on the 26th so I will be there at 1pm. I just live so close that I am getting my stuff done a week before so I will not have to come the day before surgery which would be Easter Sunday so I will just show up on the morning of the 5th.

So yeah we will get to meet and see how Anna is doing together.

Yay!!!! What great news to have support from each other, before the ball is even rolling.

Yes! I am so excited. Now if I could judy stop second guessing my decision. Have you done this? I keep on thinking if I just try once more before surgery. LOL Like it has ever worked before. I am sure that everything is going to be fine and we are going to love our new life.

I did a few weeks ago, I lost eight pounds in a week and went, wait! I don't need surgery I've got this, but a little further out I've realized, yeah, I can do this but I need the tool of the sleeve to have LONG term success. We've tried it all and there is no shame in needing help, the shame would be to let more and more time lapse letting our hearts become more unhealthy, our joints hurt more, etc etc. We can do this and it will be worth it!!!!

April 5th really will be here in not time! It is all so very exciting. Before when I was reading posts it seemed like something "they" did but I never imagined finally being in the position to be changing my own life!!! Plus you got that great head start with the band...well we say great and band in the same sentence, but you know what I mean!

I do know what you mean. The lap band for the first year was great. I have lost over 80lbs and that has been great for me. I am a lot healthier then before and love the gym. I am just ready to be normal. No more PBing no more pain no more fill unfill fill unfill. I am just excited to get it over and done with and move on. Cant wait to meet ya.

Kathy

3 more days and I just can't wait! I got on my friend's scale last night I believe I'm down another 6 lbs. I'll find out officially tomorrow when I go see Dr Stephens one more time before surgery on Thursday. I'm so ready for this life changing experience. I wonder what I'll look like as a skinny person??

Oh sister! We are gonna rock it. Good job on ANOTHER six pounds, that is amazing. I am at the point where I am so obsessed, but in a good way. No more anxiety just wanna hop my booty on a plane. (Dang! What if I need a seat belt extender on the plane? Cruel irony that would be.) Any way we're almost there. My bags are already packed I've been cleaning my house and making arrangements for my people. Now I just need to survive two more days of work! Good luck Carrie!
