Hi all ! I'm being sleeved August 8th, 2012 by Dr Morris Washington in Myrtle Beach SC. Is there any other august sleevers on here?

I'm 27 (almost) ---about 100-130 to lose.

You are in our hearts and minds. Remember to think positively and thank the stars that you started this journey because without it, you would not have known about the mass. Early is better then later. Take care of yourself.

Scary. Good luck.

Please ad me to the facebook page as well. Here's my link: http://www.facebook.com/cherylee.terry

Hello All. I'm so envious of those of you going in for surgery the next week or two! I have to wait until the end of the month!!! It's probably for the best though. My Dr. required that I lose 20 pounds by August 14th. I've been doing well until the last four days! I keep making horrible choices and my weight is up!....by five pounds! I only had two pounds to go and now I have to take off seven! I'm soooo frustrated with myself. I ask myself, "are you self-sabotaging?" I TRULY am excited about this decision I have made....I'm doing it for HEALTH....not vanity. I spent alot of time researching, talking with many friends and acquaintances who have had it done etc. I can't wait for my surgery date to get here....but if I keep on making bad choices I won't have a surgery date! What the heck is wrong with me????

August 23rd here. Dr Noel Williams at University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. So great to find this group!!! I love reading all about everything. It helps with the anxiety...

OMG I'm so excited. Aug 23rd is my day . Yeeeeee hawwwwwwww. What kind of freak looks forward to surgery lol. MEEEEEEEE

Me too - all I think about is the 28th. Also, my weeks long "food funeral" is starting to depress me.

I want to give you all a (((((((HUG))))))) and tell you I'm cheering you on!!!! This is a big step and a new start for all of us and I know you will do great! Your encouragement really does help lower my anxiety. I am so nervous! 2 DAYS!!! CHEERS (with a nice glass of water or a mug of broth lol) and congrats!

My goodness' date=' my nerves have kicked it up a notch today!! One more work day, one travel day and then surgery day! I am so excited, crying one minute but usually tears of sheer happiness. My poor hubby, he is in for an emotional ride with me the next few days!!

Icandothis, I sure hope to see you before Rosy heads us back to the USA.

I have to run for now to eat, my BS is dropping. I will be back later. [/quote']

Hugs Hun...I hope to see you too!!!!!!!

I hope any of you that are planning to meet up take pictures!!!! And tell us how it went! So lucky! I dont think I have many people in my area (i'm in south jersey)

I'm planning on using my blog as my monthly/bi weekly update page. I haven't posted anything yet, but I saw another person on here, and I loved her blog. She tracked every month on the anniversary of her procedure. She posted front, and side picks, along with Height, Highest Weight, Current Weight, and Goal Weight. Scrolling through her blog over the course of 9 months- it hit me like a ton of bricks. I liked her style so much I'm going to do the same thing, I might even add some measurements of my "problem" areas that are the worst that I know will thin down. I''ve found a couple of great blogs and galleries to help track- i'll share them with ya'll:

1) http://www.verticalsleevetalk.com/user/18927-blackanese25/

2) http://www.verticalsleevetalk.com/user/2891-blackberryjuice/

I'm excited! Just more motivation!

Don't beat yourself up. Hey that's why we're having the surgery...bad food choices right? I made bad choices the last few days too. It is so frustrating!!! I gained back a couple of pounds. I'm supposed to start my preop diet on the 8th but I'm starting it today because I can't trust myself!!! lol Good luck, you can do it!!!!

OMG I'm so excited. Aug 23rd is my day . Yeeeeee hawwwwwwww. What kind of freak looks forward to surgery lol. MEEEEEEEE

Yay!!! Congrats...I gues I'm a freak too. lol

Welcome new sleevers and congrats to txjina1 who is getting sleeved today!!!

Update on me: I've screwed up a bit the last couple days with this stupid pre op diet, trying to get back on track. It was so easy in the beginning now its so hard. Still hovering at 268.4 when i should be around 262 right now. 1 more week left. It's time to buckle down! My bags are already packed and in my car (yes im not leaving til friday lol) We're leaving a day early and staying over night somewhere in the half way area....probably virginia or north carolina. I will be recording EVERYTHING!!! I'm getting so excited! And holy moly ---look how many people we have going tomorrow!!!!!!
