Hello my fellow February Sleevers!! I think it would be a good idea for us to get to know a little bit about one another!! so I will go first!

My name is Liz and I am from South Texas. I'm 25 years old, single, no kids (unless you count dogs), currently scheduled to be sleeved on February 18th. I like to sing, read, crochet, and spend time with my friends. I am very involved in my church. I teach Sunday School and sing in the choir...stuff like that!

I hope everyone will share a little bit about themselves!!!

Happy New Year!!!

Hi guys my name is Kerry and I live in Maryland. my date was February 6th ....Thats right!!.. I am offically sleeved!! Surgery day weight was 203.6 and a today I was 208.6. This gain is totally normal as they will pump you with fluids after surgery. I was self pay as i have no health issues other than obesity however my gall bladder needed to be removed so my cost was reduced tremendously. Unfortunatley when they got inside they found an additional hiatal hernia which had to be repaired. Yesterday I was miserable and was put on Morphine. I slept most of theday/evening and basically had only a few ice chips. This pain was not from the VSG surgery but from the hernia repair in which they had to stitch my diaphram. Ouch. Today was a entirely different story! I woke up feeling much better, walked several times, and consumed 30 ounces of liquid. I was sent home! Yes..i am snuggled up in my own bed recovering nicely and a walking on the tread mill every 5hours. I do have walgreens coming tomorrow to administar iv fluids (they sent me home with mine still in) for the next three days and will be administering Lovenox myself in the stomach for the next 12 days. All in all it was a seemless procedure minus the additional hernia repair which caused most of the pain. I have no difficulties with the liquid and am able to do 4 ounces every 20 minutes. I am alternating b/nprotein shake and g2 to get the right balance of protein and carbs. I am excited about starting the second part of my journey... A new slimmer and healthier me! Good luck to all you february sleevers! Ill be thinking of you!!!

Chiming in a little late here!

Hello!! My name is Stephanie, I prefer Steph, and I am originally from California (the Bay Area). I moved 1wk after my surgery to Bend, Oregon, don't worry I didn't do much. I sat with the dog while everyone moved everything lol. I'm 28 years old, married, and we have 2 kids (a 12 year old girl, and a 6 year old boy). I am a 'Valentiner" (I was sleeved 2/14/13).

So given that it's March I'd say it's safe to assume that everyone in this group is officially sleeved! I'm excited to follow everyone's progress.

Take care all!
