I'm Back From The Dead, Unsleeved, But I Have A New Surgery Date!

  • Popular Post

First and foremost, I would like to apologize to the everyone who was worried about me and thought something bad happened to me around my previous surgery date. I was going through a whole lot of chaos mentally, emotionally and physically with very little support, so i felt it would be best for me to postpone my surgery for a later date or until everything got better.

I know I haven't posted on here since October, maybe September, I don't recall but I'm here to let you know that I'm officially back on the bandwagon. This time im eady to lay all my cards on the table and finish what I previous started last year.

I recently received a new surgery date, April 26th, and I'm more excited than previous surgery date I received. Internally I feel at peace and now it time to let it show externally.

As most of you may already know, the only support I have is my sister and you all! Everyone else I spoke about it with are completely against my decision and desperately trying to change my mind, but I wont let that happen, no, not a chance in hell lol.

I also decided to start a podcast from the beginning of my journey all the way to the end of it. As soon as I get the ball rolling I will definitely keep you all informed.

To all my newly sleeved people, from sept. 2011-march 2012, I would like to congratulate you all on taken a major leap of faith and joining the journey to a better life and longer life. You have my FULL SUPPORT! To all my future sleevers I wish you all the best of luck on the pre-journey, I'm right there behind you cheering you on all the way to finishline!

    Jimmy: don't worry about other people and their narrow mindedness. They mean well, but cause a lot of stress for us. This is a hard journey but very rewarding in and of itself. Welcome!

  • Hey and welcome back!! Kudos to you for making sure you are completely ready for this life-changing surgery and new lifestyle. Even if it meant postponing it for a while. So many people rush in,

Congratulations Jimmy on taking the time for you. You are obviously a strong person if you could recognize that your mind, body and spirit weren't all ready at the same time for you to have your surgery. It sounds like you are in a great place now. I will also be sleeved in April and look forward to watching you succeed!

Once I again I would like thank everyone for their support! it's truly amazing and beautiful to have a supporting cast full of complete strangers that truly understand the trials and tribulations I go through, no, we gone through Pre and post sleeve.

Even tho I'm a Pre-sleever still I am extremely well informed about the sleeve process for many reasons Pre and post. I've actually sat down and spoke to several Pre and Post sleevers one on one and received a whole lot of valuable input. Through the course of my return I will post them up for YOUR benefit.

After 6 months of being away this website still amazes me. It's Definitely a beautiful thing!

Welcome back and congrats on titer new date. I wasn't here before, but I'm here now and you have my full support. Best wishes!

Welcome back, Even though I wasn't here when you first start your journey I am here from this moment on. I am also hoping for April surgery and maybe we can be surgery buddies. Please don't let the negativity of other people effect your decision to a happier healthier life. I am constantly told I don't need the surgery cause I carry my weight well but I know this is what I want and need in order to live a healthier life from here on out. Once again Good Luck and we're here if you need anything :)

Welcome back!! You are so gonna love the new you! OMG!! Everything i imagined being not over weight (lol i still cant type thin about myself) is no where near how great it is!! Stay focused, dream small ;-)
