Sunday and I am at the office working.... or actually not working as I am cruising the boards....

Anyway, the August 13th Sleevers? I made a sub-group as we are all in different parts/different docs, so we have no sleeve buddies so far.....and because I am scared to death as I am traveling by myself!! (it's all about me.....). Anyway, if you are August 13th, and you want someone to be checking on you immediately after surgery, click on this link:

http://www.verticalsleevetalk.com/groups/show/143-august-13th-sleeve-group/

and join the sub-group.

PS. -- this is not to take away from the main group, just a "same surgery date; same healing time; same issues and are you okay?" kinda group!!

My first reward after hitting goal will be double chin Lipo after I am at goal (always had one even when I was in shape)

Then eventually hoping for a Tummy Tuck and breast lift

You know how they always say that it takes a while for your head to catch up with your body? I just had to laugh at myself today. I bought a dress last week for my first goal size. I have already lost 25 but don't feel like it has made that much difference. So, I took the dress out today to see how tight it is and you guessed it... it fit! Oh well, guess I will HAVE to shop some more.

Hi All, I am having my VSG done in MX on August 10th (Cancun) with dr. verboonen. I am so excited to start this journey, but also terrified! I know I can manage the life change in diet but I keep playing the what if game - like what if I get really ill in my old age, what sort of complications could I be causing. On the other hand, if I want to be old I need to proceed with changing my life! Is any one else playing mind games with themselves?!!

I think we are all playing the what if game...I keep myself super busy so I don't think about it lol...then when I try to sleep at night...that's when I batter up for hours upon hours of what if's.I am sure it will all be groovy once you get there....it's just getting there sane that is the trick lol. Try playing the goal game instead Like I want to fit in a roller coaster ride, or go to the theater and not squish random strangers when I have to excuse myself for ummm the privy. OOooh or be able to throw my seat belt on with careless abandon. Go grocery shopping without sweating would wicked awesome cool! So, that's my advice try switching games =) Good luck, and congrats on your decision. And heck, chances are if you are a wrinkled old bitty...we will be too lol sorry couldn't resist.

QOTD: Do you have any major award planned for yourself along the way down the scale or at the end?

There are so many rewards I have planned and quite honestly even the small ones, like sitting in a booth, seem huge right now. I do know that one of my major rewards will mostly definitely include a plane trip, sitting skinny in the center seat, and horseback riding. I have a feeling that if... no scratch that.. WHEN I reach my goal of losing 200 pounds, a full body lift and tuck will be a MUST and not so much a reward. 18 days till my new life begins! Wow, that is hard to believe. I have been at least 100 pounds or more overweight for 30 years... 30 YEARS! I honestly feel like I have been given a pardon from my life sentence of misery. Oh happy day!

On the August board I seem to have forgotten to list surgeon name. I'm having surgery in New Orleans (tulane medical center) and my surgeon is Sabrena Noria.

My big reward. Every June there is a big awards dinner for an organization here in NYC. My husband is the president of said organization. I cannot wait to enter next year in an amazing dress and watch the jaws drop and the photographers wanting to take pictures of me.

QOTB.....

I am planning on a cruise for my husband and I. We haven't been on a real vacation since our honeymoon in 2004. I'm already scoping out the options for our cruise next year! Can't wait to look better and healthier in a swimsuit!
