HELLO EVERYONE ! I am brand new to this site although Ihaving been reading for a while as a nonmember I am set for 2/21/2011 with Dr. Ramos Kelly I must say I am scared ,happy,and excited about the whole thing . I am glad to have found a site where people are so open and supportive.

The other thing you could do is do your first lag to Denver and then stay the night there? Also explain your story at the airport. They may upgrade you to first class if there is room. I plan on doing the same : )

I really can't believe I'm doing this!! I've told my boss who is also a friend mainly because when I come back to work I'll need reduced duties ( I'm a baker- interesting profession eh?) so far he's been really good about it. My mom is worried that it's too perminent. She had lap band but has blockages always. I just couldn't do that.

February 14 with Dr. Aceves. Valentine's Day gift is the sleeve instead of a box of chocolates.

I too will be having surgery on Valentines Day but with Dr. Alvarez! Best gift I've ever bought myself for Valentines Day!

Hey guys and gals! I will be having my surgery on Feb 7 with Dr. Roslin in NY. I am scared and excited all at the same time. My biggest fear is not being able to eat like I do now. But then again thats what got me to 276 pounds in the first place. I'm looking forward to being healthy and fit. Tired of being called the big girl with the pretty face. Well I wish everyone the best of luck and see you guys on the looser's bench.

Hi Nursenevada!

I'm meeting with Dr.Roslin soon for potential sleeve. Let me know how things go for you....

Hi Sadie,

I too am planning my sleeve with Dr.Kelly this coming February 2011. I've been

hoping to find someone else using this surgeon as well. I haven't decided on the exact

date as of yet, but maybe we could be "sleeve buddies". :-) Let me know what you think and I'll get

back to you later (cause I'm at work but wanted to reply to your post) haha.

Hi,

I am scheduled to be sleeved by Dr Kelly on February 21st. We can stay in touch if you like. My email is tejedasoribel@yahoo.com

Hi there!

I almost picked the same ticker, I thought it was sassy and cute!

My surgery is scheduled for February 28th and I am in FREAK-OUT mode. I'm dieting now and start all liquid on Jan 31st but already mourning my friend, Food; and working on dealing with those emotions sooner rather than later.

Having this forum is already helping me deal with some of my nerves. I'll be following your journey! Good Luck!!

I'm scheduled for 1/27/11 with Dr. Pleatman in MI. I can drive there and the self-pay price is reasonable. I thought doing it semi-locally would be easier than flying to MX. My BMI is "only" 32 but I've lurking here for a year weighing the same.

Long story short: I'm having the surgery because dieting makes me SO HUNGRY that I have to make it a full-time job to get down to a BMI of 25 only to have the weight pile back on.

I only have one problem: I haven't told my husband. He's so skinny that he's always trying to gain weight and has a low appetite. He doesn't understand why I don't just eat less-BECAUSE I'M HUNGRY! When the topic of WLS ever comes up he is very judgmental, saying that if people just applied themselves more they could lose weight without it. He'll also be worried about the risks of surgery.

Anyway, it doesn't seem right to not tell him so wish me luck-he's coming back from a work trip on Saturday. I'm paying with my money from a different account that he doesn't track so just making an excuse to be gone a few days is so tempting.........but not really in the spirit of marriage. Ultimately I'm going to have to stand my ground about what is good for me.

I have finally decided a week ago to go forward with this. I am excited! I scheduled my surgery for 2/21, but decided I couldn't wait that long. I am now scheduled for the 12th with Dr. Dr. Aceves. Did I mention I am supper excited and nervous. I will be leaving on the 15th.

Hey Motherof3! Looks like our starting weights are almost the same-I weigh a little more. I'd LOVE to see 130 but I'd even be content maintaining at 140.
