APRIL 2013. Whooo's Comin' With Me!



Recommended Posts

Hot off the presses! I JUST got my date. It's set for 4/22/13.

Is anyone else getting sleeved that day too? Or April in general? Would love to connect with others who'll be in the same boat at the same time, so please feel free to reach out!

Oh....and would also like to know if you're freaking out nearly as much as I am??

:D:wacko::):o:(:blink::rolleyes::unsure:<----(Pictured left: my emotional rollercoaster right now.)

My information has been sent to my insurance this week. Hopefully my insurance will respond within the next 1-2 weeks. I have completed everything and ready for surgery. Except losing those last 4 pounds required prior to surgery (still working on it).

I believe my surgery will be sometime in April, probably after April 15 due to I have to go out of town for 4 days in April and can't travel for 4 weeks after surgery.

I am not freaking out quite yet. Most likely will after I have a surgery date.

Sounds like you're nearing the home stretch! I wasn't really 'freaking out' until today when I got my date...I think it's because the surgery didn't seem real to me. But it's definitely becoming a reality now!

I would love to hear how things end up going for you. Hope all goes well!

Hey Joan, welcome!! I'm so glad to have found this site too. I've been in the pre-surgical process since August and VST has helped me sooo much in getting through it and building awareness and confidence about the procedure. Congrats on getting a surgery date! Go April sleevers!!

But here's hoping more of us 22nd sleevers are out there too. Congrats to you! Would love to stay in touch since we're both sleevin' it on the same day. ;)

That's so funny you said that...I was offered April 8th as a tentative date, but I'm in my best friends wedding the 13th. & as great as I plan on feeling, I don't want to be 5 days post op and in a wedding :-P

I think it'll be fabulous to keep in touch, and compare notes as we go along! It's only ~5 weeks away!! Can you believe it?! I'm SO ready!!

April 10th, here I come!!

I can't wait:

- 'til May, when I can see some results.

- until I can happily own a swimsuit. I live in the Dominican Republic AND there's a pool in my backyard and do not own one.

- until I can finally enjoy going to the beach.

- until I can stop acting like an agoraphobe because I refuse to go out looking like this.

- until I can post my before and after pictures to the forum.

- until I don't mind having my photo taken.

- until I can smile without my cheeks making my eyes small.

- until I can finally like myself.

- until I can see what I REALLY look like.

- until I can finally stop window shopping and actually shop for clothes at my favorite stores!

- until I can, once again, take my clothes off for someone. :)

I just can't wait.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
