Just got approved for my sleeve surgury. Dec 5th is the big day! So now I'll spend more time here reading the stories for support in what I have chosen to do. So sick of being fat. 6'1" 305. I've been a big guy for the last 30 years. Started power lifting in my early 20's and the weight just added up. But I had a 30" waist! huge biceps and a 48" chest. all good and then I stopped lifting and running. Ahhhhhhhhhh The weight wouldn't come off and now almost 30 years later I'm here. So sick of seeing my belly and feeling uncomfortable. Hips hurt, knees hurt and little endurance. I can't wait to be thin again!!!!!!!!!!

Welcome!! I am just a couple weeks ahead of you... I am scheduled for Nov 14th! I start my pre-op diet on Tuesday & am sooooo excited!

I've had a wide range of emotions, but this site brings my journey all together for me. To see so many here that have had such a life changing experience also makes me so excited. I'm having my pre/op appt. on the day you are having the surgury so good luck as I'll be thinking of your success! Having mine done by Dr. kemmerling at Aurora in Green Bay. Good luck and keep me posted!
