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!!

Hi! I feel pretty good about it eventhough surgery is a month away. I know it is a tool to help me become healthier by getting off this blood pressure medicine.

Amen I hope you reach your desired goal I hope to get into the operating room the second week in August if not it will be closer

To your date

To your date

You will!! Stay positive!!! I believe you will get the date you desire and you will rock that sleeve to the max... lol

New to site. Surgery date 8/13. Very nervous!! Have been reading everything I can.

Don't have required pre-op diet. Have been eating healthy and cutting carbs on my own.

Trying to get ready for post-op diet. Going for pre-op testing 8/2. Seeing PCP 8/7 for surgery clearance. Hoping everything goes as planned!! Excited for a chance to make new start!!

my date is August 1st and I just found out I could go this soon 2 days ago.... excited to be on this journey with so many of you. I too started to gain after my first child 20 years ago and am done with the suffering and ready for the new freedom - knowing my faith is not in the power of man but God who is with us- the surgeons and He has provided this tool to set us free!

I'm scheduled for August 1st. But I'm nervous because on Friday I was told I have bronchitis!! I'm on antibiotics and will be done with the z pack the day before surgery. I'm flipping out but praying all will be fine come Wednesday.

You will!! Stay positive!!! I believe you will get the date you desire and you will rock that sleeve to the max... lol
