Hey guys and gals! My surgery is on May 20th, 2013. I am 21 years old, 5'4 230 lbs looking to loose 100lbs. I got approved by United Health Care April 5th, my surgeon is Dr.Beth SCHROPE over at Columbia University! I am super excited and I can't wait to get sleeved. I can't wait until the day my sleep apnea gets better, I wake up refreshed and not tired.. and I can feel comfortable in my own skin.

Surgery day May 10th in San Antonio Texas. Started pre op diet today weighing 223..... Goal after surgrey 140!

I'm also May 1st!! Just one more day of pre op. I've done well with it during the week but the weekend was challenging. I didn't do horrible, but I don't think I'll make the 10 pounds in a week mark :/ But my starting weight (November 27, 2012) was 304, and this morning I was 262, so if I don't lose a total of 10 this week I don't care

Good luck everyone!

Only 2days to d day. Start clear liquids in am. Will be on table and cutting at 0730 pts on weds. Sister is coming on Thursday frim Boston for a week. My 20 year old son will hold down the fort with the 14 and 12year old. Biggest worry is my 14year old is autistic . He will be ok but I still worry. I know I am doing the right thing and if god did not want me to have this the insurance would not have come through. I wish my best friend could be here. She and I talked about this, but last year she lost her battle with cancer. She was only 46 and we had been best friends since 14. I know she is looking over me from the other side but I wish she was still here with us. I will be k and this will change my life in a great way for all the right reasons! So I can live longer and take care of my kid. Also to see my other two do great things no matter what passion they choose to go after! I love them all plus my sister mother aunt and other close friends!, also for my faith group this week is Holy Week and Easter on say/Sunday am. I will not be able to go so here is an early CHRIST HAS RISEN, TRULY HE HAS RISEN. (See greek or russian orthodox Christianity in google) hang in there one and all!

May 20th as well starting liquids on 05/06 pre op appointment on 05/07. Lets do this!!!

Hey May Sleevers how is it going! To those who have been sleeved CONGRATS! Welcome to your new life, and to the rest of us.. anxious, nervous and hopeful lets continue to pray that everything shall come out okay! I am so excited I have 17 days left, of this life.. to so many 230lbs is nothing, but to me.. it has been the most difficult time of my life. I have had so much pain carrying this weight and yes I am to blame but hey I am doing something about it. So I am proud to say I am going to get sleeved on May 20th! My blessings to you all!

Hello Ladies and Gents! So yesterday I went to WalMart to do the shopping for my liquid Diet which I started today! I weighed myself at 232, hmm no so good but it made sense I was endulging in yummy food ...basically saying my goodbyes. I started this morning off with some Vitamins and a SPECIAL K chocolate Flavored Protein shake .. I really enjoyed it! May 15th is my PRE OP Appointment with my surgeon and I am going to do my bloodwork that day. Ahhh! So excited. 14 days to go people! I can not wait! I taste it already. You are all in my prayers and I thank God for this oppurtunity! Hope yall are doing great.

Much Love

Jenn!
