Well, sleevers, I'm getting sleeved tomorrow morning at 7:30 am. I'll be under the care of Dr. Robert Landerholm in beautiful Edmonds, WA. It's an outpatient procedure -- I don't think I would be comfortable with that if it weren't for the fact that I live literally fifteen minutes from the surgical center in case something goes wrong.

I'm anxious about it, but I'm also very ready to get off the weight loss merry go round once and for all. I'm trying to keep myself occupied and not think about it; my girlfriend (who was sleeved in November) tells me that if I can just keep myself busy and not dwell on it, the surgery will be over and I'll be in recovery before I know it.

I'm having my last Diet Cokes (ever!) right now and sorta saying goodbye to them. If I wasn't on a low carb diet, I'd probably have a beer for the same reason, but that would blow my carb count for the day all to heck, so it's just Diet Coke in my farewell party. They've been a good friend for nearly 20 years, but now it's time to say goodbye!

Good luck and I Wish you All the BEST and A Very Great Outcome. I'll be right behind you "05-24-10"

I'm here rooting for you too! I wish you the best and look forward to hearing from you post surgery! God be with you throughout.

YAHHHHH! The time has finally come! i know you can't wait to get your mojo back for that girlfriend of yours. Best of luck!!!!

Thanks for the well wishes, all. Now, hopefully I can get a few hours of sleep before the big procedure...

Oh a man after my own heart. Diet coke is the only thing I really have missed. It was how I began every day! I just wanted to wish you well and tell you how much I've appreciated all your posts thus far. I'm sending good thoughts your way!

Thinking about you this morning!!! I hope everything goes well and look forward to hearing from you soon!

I'm thinking about you this morning ! ! !
