Hello November Sleevers!

Please come and introduce yourselves! Scorch picked our name a few weeks ago in another thread. We are the banana BABES, because like she said, " our stomachs will end up looking like a banana". :lol:

I will start.

November 16th is my big day! I would have LOVED to have accepted the 7th, but I have tickets to see STING in concert. Don't you love my priorities? :P (Actually the tickets were expensive, non refundable & my husband would kill me).

So the 16th it is and I couldn't be happier. Before Thanksgiving is probably not ideal, but being sleeved and somewhat recovered by January 1st ,2012 is way more important to me. I can't wait!

Well, I am set for Nov 1. I can't believe that its finally here, just 5 days away. Starting to get a little nervous but excited at the same time. I have been planning this since May 3 so I guess it really hasn't been too long considering the wait time was over a year when they began doing these surgeries. Is anyone else nervous about what the future holds for our sleeves?? I just hope I lose the weight and feel as good as I expect to. I just want to be happy and like the way I look again. I've been fat for way too long. Good luck to all the banana babes!!!

WooHoo.... Getting sleeved on November 14th & I can not wait! It looks like I have had a pretty simple journey so far. I have been researching the different WLS options for months now, maybe even years-- tried diet & excercise, succeeded, then gained every ounce + some right back! So I decided on October 27, 2011 to pursue my WLS surgery & knew the sleeve was IT! I made my decision to go with the surgery after a trip to our local zoo with my husband and 2 sons. (husband is fit (&super cute lol) sons are 3 years old and 17 months old) My oldest was running up "Monkey Hill" and begged for Mommy to follow, I was too embarrassed to give my son something SO simple :-( My heart was broken!

So Monday morning (halloween) I called Dr. Borland (whom I have done extensive research on) & scheduled my "consult" for the soonest available appt. That will be next Wednesday, Nov. 9th! They faxed the papers over to my PCP to get my lab work, xrays, & EKG tests done (did ALL that today) My PCP then faxed all my results to Dr. Borlands office!

I called and asked if it was at all possible to schedule my surgery now that he has seen my labs and stuff, & they did! So IM SCHEDULED! :-)

PS- I will be a self-pay patient (my insurance doesnt cover :-( )

ANYWHO--- Glad to join the BANANA BABES & can NOT wait to be on the LOSERS BENCH :-)

      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.
