Hey Y'all! I started the group because I noticed that there wasnt one for those in and around LA and I wanted a place for us to gather! Hope it picks up and gathers members. Anyone is welcome though regardless of location. Good luck yall and I look forward to us chatting!

Hi there! I cant wait to rejoin my gym! There is a 5k race at Disney-Orlando this November and I am hoping I can make it.

Hey everyone!! I am so glad to be able to post again finally. Had some surgery to remove some tumors and it has been a lil bumpy healing wise. Been crazy busy trying to catch up on school and doing family stuff. How is everyone doing?? I would love an update on yall's jouneys so far. I have been approved!! I also have a surgery date of April 2nd, so I am verrrry excited to say the least. It has been a nervous journey with the insurance, but it was all for nothing...I was approved in only 2 days!!! All I can say is that I was blessed with some great reviewers! Must've been all that love since it was so close to Valentine's Day. lol I am going to be busy some more with a couple of reports to get done before surgery, but I look forward to hearing from everybody. I will be starting the yucky protein diet soon....I'll need help to make it through that Im sure! lol

God Bless and Yall Take Care!!!

Hello my fellow Louisiana Sleevers, Well I'm at my half way point three months down and three to go on the supervised diet. I have lost 15 pounds so far and feeling great about myself and my future. I'm shooting for my Drs office to file with the insurance company on June 2nd!!!! YAY

Hi Louisiana Sleevers! I'm Beth and I just made the decision to go ahead with the sleeve. I went through the 6 months with the dietician for insurance purposes and I almost chickened out, but I'm ready now! I'm so excited about this change in my life. Although I'm struggling with "last meal" syndrome where I think every meal right now is my last one, I'm trying to combat the urges. I do have a question, how do your docs feel about sugar free snowballs? I just had one today and it was icy and sweet and cool going down. I imagine that it might work well (unless there are hidden calories and sugar that I am not aware of).

Hi there!! How are you doing on your progress?? I am 2 months post and have lost 30 pounds. Doing great! Just rejoined my gym but broke my toe, so I'm a lil ticked about that. Lol.

hi everyone. this is my first post. sleeved on july 2 2012. i' ve lost 16 lbs. so far and i m doing great. I' m finally getting more energy and starting to get excited about my life again and all my new possibilities, i ve started eating some protein now per my NUTS advise, but to be honest, for me, the thrill is gone. you know how LA. folks love to eat , so eating now is pretty boring. the whole experience is more like a chore. I guess there more to life than food anyway,lol.
