Hi everyone - I've been stalking this page for a while and finally decided to join. I want to have this surgery so badly. I went to a seminar in April and had my first consult last week. I'm starting my 12 week diet program which is required by my insurance company on Monday. You all seem so happy that you've had you're sleeve done and are on your way to a better life. I'm sooo jealous! But extremely happy for those who have already had this. I just feel like my life will begin again after this surgery. Today, everywhere I go I'm always the fattest person in the room. One day, that won't be the case. How did you all handle the waiting part?

Hi, I kinda was obsessed with reading this post, books, etc. I also found cloths in magazines I wanted to wear. Make as many changes now to help your sleeve process. The post op is a challenge for some of us, and I was glad I didn't have a caffeine headache or soda with draw. I am only one week out, so that's all I can help you? Good Luck and great decision to change and live your life!
