My big day is approaching soon. I start my preop diet Monday and go in for test ect. It's been a long road. I was denied by insurance so now I'm self pay. I live in Cincinnati dr curry is doing my sleeve. Anyone else getting sleeved that day? I'm excited and nervous!

I am being sleeved March 19, I was gonna have it on March 11 but the doctor got confused about his vacation days so everyone got pushed back. lol I am a little nervous. I've been on stupid preop diet since Jan. 10 already lost 26 pounds. The worst is yet to come but it is well worth it.

Please keep me updated! I start my diet on Monday for surgery next Monday. Everyone keeps asking me "are you sure you want to do this? You love food". Which is kind of hurtful but I just answer with a sweet "yes I'm sure". And people tell me "your not big" which I'm not sure how to take since I'm 5'8 and over 250. I can see the 100+ lbs I've gained in 10 years and I see my daughter making poor health choices bc of me. I'm ready to change and not let what I eat define me...sorry. Just ranting. Please let me know how everything goes. Good luck and ill be thinking about ya!
