So I started my weight loss journey years ago but never thought about wls. I decided last year that wls was probably my best bet. So on my oldest son bday, April, I started my supervised 6 month diet. I went through all the testing, pych eval, nut appt and meet with my suregon twice. I have jumped through hoops to get here and now its only a week away. Im scheduled for preop appt on 2/12 and surgery on 2/13. My preop diet has been hard cause I still have a husband and three lil children to cook three square meals a day for but I haven't cheated and I'm hanging in there. Im getting super nervous as they days pass.

Welcome Sarah! Feel free to complete your bio because you will be visiting with us a lot here. LOL!!! There is so much information you will want and need, and support.

Hi Linda, yes I am being sleeve. With Colorado Springs surgical associates. Thanks I will go fill out my bio. I am glad I found this support forum.

This will become your second home. No judgment here, just support. I tried about 4 Facebook pages but dropped out. This is the place. Read, read and read some more. There is so much help here! I am happy you found us too!

I'm being sleeved on 02/11/14. Both scared and excited. The 2 week pre op diet is hard but no way am I cheating. I joke with my husband and say that the surgeon won't even be able to find my liver. I have lost 7 lbs so far. Hoping to lose another 3 before surgery

Haha...yep it sure is hard..I too have lost some weight about 8 lbs! Hope weight keeps coming off like this afterwards. Wheres everyone from? Im in Colorado Springs CO.
