Been on this site for awhile and just figured out there is a GLBT forum. Fun! It will be nice to chit chat with some of you. Things are going great for me I was sleeved on Feb. 19 got legally married on Feb 17 and we are expecting a baby on Oct 15. I'm so exciting to become healthy so I can be a great parent. I wish everyone pre-op luck and wish the best for everyone on the losers bench glad I'm finally there.

That's what I am thinking! Although I would hit rewind and do the parenting thing all over! :)

Oh Amie I am so excited for you! What an exciting year!!! And if that baby can hold on one day longer it could share my birthday!! ;)

I know one of my biggest motivating factors in revising my complete flop of a band to a sleeve (aside from its many complications) is my desire to be a more active and parent!

Congratulations on your sleeve, your marriage (shameful that we have to put significance on it being legal, but so exciting all the same) and even more so, the beginning of your family! Such an exciting time!

Look forward to watching your progress!!! :)

Thanks Kristina it is going to be a great year even thinking about trying to buy a house around Sept. :)

Man I can't believe you have had to deal with all those band issues I hope you will enjoy having the sleeve. So far I love it but can't wait to move on from liquids to pureed food.

Btw do you recommend Dr. Garcia? I've been look on here for a good doctor to send my mom to in Mexico. We have been in touch with Dr. Kelly but I like to have a few to look into. If I remember right Kelly was $5500 do you know how much Garcia is?

I am not scheduled until May 11th, but so far I am so confident in my choice with Dr. Garcia that even I can't believe it!! I am paying $5500, but that is with consideration for my revision, so I have heard that others are paying even less!! :) I will definitely keep in touch and let you know how it goes in May, but I have heard the most amazing things from so many people who have used him and I researched quite a few different doctors before settling on him!

I will keep my fingers crossed for you that you guys can get a house this year too. My husband and I were able to get a house again after he had to foreclose on his old home due to his divorce. My family had to help us, but the feeling of having a place of our own for our kids to grow up in has been such a wonderful feeling!! I really hope you can add that to your whirlwind blessing windfall!!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
