Hi everyone and good luck to you all I have been planing this for 3 years its funny because the first time I was going to get a rny by pass so I fasted two weeks for it but I was talked out of it then I said ok lap band and I fasted two weeks but then I heard about the sleeve and I fasted two weeks again but my ins co turned me down but it didn't matter any more I had fasted so much that I had lost a lot of weight and I was running and working out dam I was sexy and hot but it came back so fast in one year and I feel terrible that I did this to myself again I promised myself never again but here I am big belly its hard to do anything. So when I found out that sleeves were being done in a local hospital I again prepared myself my date was Dec 18 2012 but at the last minute I bailed its like my life revolves around food but being diabetic high bp high cholesterol I'm doing it this time march.19 I want to be diabetes free I want to live another 50 year's I want my penis back it used to be proud now it hides to keep motivated I took nude pics of myself and keep telling myself its not for wanting to be sexy its about diabetes to be free of it and healthy everything else is gravy a bonus ok I rambled on enough good luck to all march sleeves may we all become friends

Well guys and girls! I am praying for all the march 1 sleevers! Tomorrow is your day...you are the leaders on our journey. I am suppose to start my preop diet Monday.... But instead I'm going to start slowly this weekend by decreasing the solid food so by Monday ill be 100% liquid. I'm so happy to have meet so many people who are like me and who are ready for a new life!!

I have to take pics and measurements... Yikes! I am not sure about the pics but I know that I will be happy I did it when I have one of those bad days... I am looking forward to the happy days but life is a dollar coaster full of ups an downs.

Remember: it does not come off in one day... I was told I will see the biggest drop at 3 months... The swelling will be down.

I only have one thing left to do and that is my medic alert bracelet... "No NG tube bariatric sleeve 3/20/2013 (then my surgeons name and number".

After that pack a very small bag... An I'm good to go!

Good luck march 1's!!

Thanks again for maintaining our list!!

We girls should totally plan a group for the disney marathon! That would be so empowering!

I haven't heard anyone else mention anything about a medic alert Bracelet or necklace w "no ng tube gastric sleeve". Hasn't even crossed my mind that we would need something like that! Has anyone else been told to get one of these made? Pre op diet starts tomorrow (and Ive had a virus all day so I didn't even get one last day of eating but im sure I've had enough days of eating like a giant haha)

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
