It was around January 15th of this year when I went to my first informational meeting about the sleeve. Since then I've been through all kinds of tests, physical and psychological, and waited patiently for things to fall into place.

Tomorrow is the day. At 6 a.m. I show up at the hospital, and at 7:45 a.m. they begin. I am excited, scared, nervous and happy all at once. At 5' 3.5" and 237 lbs. with multiple comorbidities I know I am doing the best thing for my health and for the rest of my life. The only worries I have are about complications from the surgery, so if y'all would pray for smooth sailing for me, I'd appreciate it.

Oh, and please move over, will you? You've got a wide load comin' atcha on that loser's bench!

Good luck tomorrow. I am so similar to you. When I started my journey back in February I was 232 and 5'4". I was sleeved on Dec 1st. On Christmas day I weighed 199. Woo Hoo. Suprisingly I was not as nervous knowing that I was doing the right thing. I have already resolved my diabetes and soon will see my PCP about discontinuing my cholestral medication. Welcome to the loser's bench....

Good luck sleeve sister!!!!! I wish you the best of luck!!!!! And I'll be on the losers bench right there with you tomorrow!!!!!

We will be praying for you! Good luck!

Best wishes chickee, we're all scootching over for ya ! ! !

I just keep imagining what I will look like at this time next year - hard to imagine but I am sure I will be quite different not only in size but also in mental heath. Have an amazing journey! Save a small space for me on that bench... my turn is Jan 6th.
