Ready To Begin My New Life!

I am having my sleeve surgery on weds Jan 4th and I am so excited! I have struggles with my weight my entire adult life and aim tired of the fight. I have been on every diet under the sun as well as every weight loss medication on the market. Besides fen-fen, which is not off the market, nothing has worked. I live in Scottsdale and am having my surgery done at Scottsdale Bariatrics, Dr. Blackstone was supposed to be my surgeon but scheduling was better for me to go with her associate Dr. Reynoso. I have been attending the support groups and have heard great things about him so I'm sure it will be just fine! I think what I'm struggling with most is the thought that I will no longer be hungry. That is an unfathomable thought! I am going into this process with an open mind, a willingness to follow all directions and patience. I am excited and ready to begin this new and healthy phase of my life! Will keep you all posted as I continue kn this journey.

Congrats! This is the best procedure I have ever had. I love the results. Before surgery I was always hungry. After surgery I was hungry from waking up in my room. Around the 6 week mark I found out that I wasn't feeling hunger, it was acid in the stomach. Now I'm struggling with the "is it thrist, or am i hungry?" dilemma. Anyways, I love it. Best of luck and welcome to the Big Loser's Club. ;)
