August Sleevers?! Where Ya's At?

[Just peachy 15]

Name: Beth

Age: 46

Surgery date: August 13th

Surgeon: Dr. Adolpho Fernandez, Winston-Salem, NC

Just like so many others, I've struggled with being overweight all my life. I've lost substantial amounts of weight numerous times only to gain it all back, and then some. I researched WLS for years. Only when I recently saw a photograph of myself did I finallly gain the courage to begin the process, dedicating myself to this lifestyle change. I have a fabulous supportive husband and two exhausting wonderful kids, ages 6 and 5. I am looking forward to weaing my original wedding set, answering the phone without someone saying "did you run to the phone?", and of course, spending many fantastic years with my family.

I'm on day six of a three week pre-op diet.

Thank you to all who post on this board. The information is so very helpful!

Good morning ladies! I was camping all weekend so I'm just now catching up on everything. I CANNOT beleive my surgery is on Thursday!!! I have so many emotions, it's pretty much impossible to concentrate.

Anything else you'd like to share? I have a 1 1/2 year old son who is my life and light. He is my inspiration for doing this. Am married to a wonderful man. I am still in disbelief that my new life starts on Thursday!

I have a month to go today. Finally it's starting to get closer!

Hello lovelies! I've been around since February 2012, and finally finished hoop jumping for insurance coverage. I start my liquid diet on 8/3, have my pre-op day of meetings at the center of excellence on 8/8... and finally have surgery on 8/17.

I am 43, 5'5", and 247 lbs (as of today). I started the year at 267. My initial aim is to lose 100 lbs, but I don't really know what that will look like after more than 20 years, so I plan to adjust as I go along and see how I look and feel. This is all about health for me, not about size. I have severe sleep apnea and joint and back pain I am hoping to release.

Wishing all of us well on our journeys to improved health!
