VV2010 and SlimDiddy are Ready for Sleeve Day!



Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone!

Well, VV2010 and I are here in TX, ready to drive over the border tomorrow to see Dr. Alvarez and WE ARE SO EXCITED!!! We've had a great day so far, except that the woman sitting one seat up and over the aisle from us on the plane brought a ziploc bag filled with homemade sugar Cookies and ATE THE ENTIRE BAG while VV2010 and I were salivating!!! I nearly fell out of my seat when VV2010 took out a Listerine breath strip, put it in her mouth, and declared, "Man, I'm full!"

The plane ride was just fine, and honestly, that's the part I was most scared about this whole process--- I HATE flying! I swear to you that I was more nervous about the flying than the actual surgery! But everything was just fine. Said goodbye to my son and husband last night and got a little teary, but I know everything will be OK. We keep telling ourselves "people do this every day!!"

We can't wait to report back to you all on our surgery tomorrow! VV and I are the only ones being sleeved tomorrow. We met a wonderful woman who was waiting for the airport shuttle while we were waiting for Dr. A.'s driver, Rosey (love Rosey!) This woman was sleeved on the 29th and she was doing SO well- spent the day walking around San Antonio, went to get her nails done, went to the movie theater. VV and I are hoping that we'll feel that good on Monday- would love to be able to see some of San Antonio.

Thanks to you, Sleeve Family! The support you all give here is phenomenal. What a great journey we're on!

Until tomorrow... or probably Sunday....

We had to take a taxi to Walmart tonight- Delta sent my suitcase to BUFFALO, NY with all my comfy jammies, slippers, heating pad, toiletries and everything!!! UGGGGHHH!!! At least I have my passport. Hope to update you all on Sunday. Thanks for the prayers and good thoughts!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
