AaahRoo! I have a surgery date! I will be sleeved at last by Dr. Fernando Otero on August 14, 2012 at John Muir Hospital-Concord Campus CA. I'm very excited of course!! I'm hoping to find other August sleevers to treck the journey with. I'm so ready to get this weighted ball rolling you just don't know...

I've been putting on weight since the birth of my first child 20 years ago. Things really got out of hand when I seperated from the military in 2006. No limits,No mandatory runs,No mandatory weigh-ins makes Gr8rLuv a very big, bad girl !! Currently, I'm miserable...My joints-Achy wrists,back,hips,knees and ankles. sleep Apnea-I got it, Cpap-I wear it. I can't wait to get back to my normal...BMI,Weight, Activity,Sleep. I've lost enough time...I'm ready for the RESET button!!

I am also scheduled for surgery on Aug.14th at 9:15 in San Diego. I'm so hoping to get my diabetes in remission. We can do this. I'm so ready to make the journey also.

My surgey date Aug 9th , I am nervous yet excited, yes lets keep in touch! I am in Los Angeles . I will be having mine at Cedar Sinai , Dr Feiz.
