I'm new here, my name is Krissy and I'm very nervous! Starting weight is 248 and it's my heaviest ever! I'm scheduled for surgery May 20 in Mexico! I got financed and paying part myself! It's about me this time! My kids are older and I'm divorced so starting to date again has been horrible on my self esteem! My time is now to be healthier and feel better about myself

Also I'm 31 years old and I live in Alberta Canada!

I'm going to Mexico the 20th too! Who's your surgeon? Mine's Dr. Ramos Kelly.

I have Dr Lopez

Hello my sleeve sisters. My date is the 20th as well. Can you believe it is 45 days away! Trying to incorporate more healthy lifestyle tips each day. I will have surgery in Houston, Texas. Thankfully Blue Cross is covering the procedure at 90% hospital and 80% physician fee. So I will be out of pocket 574.00. Have you all started making lifestyle changes? Which do you think will be the most difficult?

I knew for a fact that the hardest bit for me would be giving up Dr. Pepper, so I've already cut it out completely. I started have headaches from the caffeine withdrawal a couple days ago. I used to drink three cans a day, but carbonated drinks are a biiig no-no, a) they're liquid calories and b )the carbonation can strech the sleeve

I've also invested in both a bicycle and an eliptical, which I can use once I'm under their weight limits. I tried to ride the bike the other day, and not only did it make this awful creaking noise, I learned that it is entirely possible to forget how to ride one

I've switched coffee for green tea, since I like cream and sugar on coffee and I can drink the green tea by it self! I don't like pop so that's not a problem! I've bought protein powder and multi vitamins so far! Waiting for my pre-op package in the mail but I really think I'm ready! The pre-op diet will be hard... I'm a late night snacker but I like a challenge! I've been drinking the carnation breakfast drinks in the morning before work instead of my usual bagel and extras..... Trying to get used to the drinks and taste of the protein! Little at a time!

So, my mom and I were looking at the different surgeons and I think we've decided to go with Dr. Lopez. Still on May 20, so I'll see you there!
