Hello, I'm about 2 months pre op and wondering is the anyone else on here that's in my city that's about to change their lives ...

I am from Chicago and I hope to be having my surgery at University of Chicago. I am waiting on approval from the insurance company and then it will be set a date. I am very excited due to reading about all the success everyone is having but I am also very vervous about the surgery and fear of failing due to so many diets have failed. But I am keeping the faith and being calm.

Hello Mocha... Welcome to the room... I just got my approval today but no date yet...

This is my first week back to work since surgery 6/3. Luckily my first two days I worked from home. Today is my first day in the office....not a bad day. My mom bought me a bday cake yesterday ( actual bday is 7/18 )she said she wanted to catch me in a good mood before returning to the office. Lol

I thanked her for the cake and then told her to take it to her house. She gave me a funny look. I was like " um thank you' date=' but georgette can only have about a fork full of all of that yumminess."

It's quick how people forget that our eating habits have changed.[/quote']

Actually I've calmed down A LOT !!! I know its going to happen. Trying to get away from negative thinking... You know self sabotage... In the back of my mind I was thinking that they weren't going to approve me because I had no other health issues other than being over weight... I'm just thankful now... I feel blessed

Thank you. I made it through the week, but I've been coming home going straight to bed. Hopefully next week things will be better. I have to see Laurie on Tuesday, maybe I'll come to 20 to say hi to you and Francine.

Thanks TV-Duhhh, I'm surprised that Stephanie didn't schedule your surgery and 4th preop class when she told you that the insurance approved your surgery.

Sorry I don't know where my head is. My appointment is Monday at 1:30. For some reason I kept thinking the 22nd was Tuesday.

Hi I'm in Chicago - oak park area. I am four months post op. I had my surgery at UIC hospital. I am a vegetarian and about to become a pescotarian next. Onto becam struggling with getting my protien in. I have lost 52 lbs- no working out. I have had two spine surgeries since the sleeve. So I am grateful that I have still been able to lose weight. Currently, I have been walking three miles for the last week! I hope I will begin to lose more weight now that I am not in bed all day.

My struggle is getting the proten in. I had protein shakes. Today my goal is to eat 70 grams of protein- even if I don't like it.

I am willing to walk , meet or build relationship with sleepers in the area. Congrats to those who are about to be sleeved-- it's a great thing!
