Im getting so nervous...ONLY for an Endoscopy I have to have on 19th January. As the surgeon asked why I was on omeprozole...I said heartburn as he knew already. But now wants me to have one to make sure I dont have a Hiatus Hernia...me and my big mouth! Haha...but Its always best to be truthful and honest to your Surgeon. I will be sedated but it still making my anxiety levels high..in turn Im taking more Propanolol!! I WISH they could do this while im under. Sigh...U guess I will grin and bare it for a few minutes! Anyone else had one before surgery.

Omg this was so me! I had mine yesterday and I'm a nurse so I know all the risks etc. I was freaking out and it was no big deal. It was so fast and I felt nothing. I was pretty loopy the rest if the day but I felt fine. You will do great!

This was me 2 days ago! I'm a nurse so sometimes i feel like I know too many of the things that could go wrong. I have bad heartburn too so I had my EGD yesterday. It was so quick and easy! I felt nothing and don't remember anything after they gave me the sedation. I was loopy all morning and felt fine. No issues at all. I feel silly now but I was just nervous like you. You will be just fine!

Before picture was in Oct 2013

after picture was about 3 weeks ago (i dont keep my bedroom that messy - i was going through clothes that no longer fit)

Down 105lbs

You look great!

Looking hot

10.5 months out and 135 lbs lost. My before pic is on my profile! Started at 320 and now I'm at 185 (I should mention that I am 5'9). Started at a size 22-24 and now I'm fitting in 8's. I'd like to lose another 15 but the weight loss has come to a standstill. But I am not complaining, 135 lost in less than 11 months is more than I ever expected. I love my sleeve!

We started out around the same size

I'm 5'8 can I ask you about your workouts and is your skin an issue?

@@sleevie.wonder! We have similar stats, 5'10", got sleeved at 333, 3 weeks ago today! You look wonderful! What are your workouts like?! My goal is 170, also!

Big mama we seem to have the same time and goals. I was sleeved the 31st of December. How's it going? How much are you down. I was a size. 26 I just went a purchased a pair of 22s it felt great. I wish I was loosing more rapidly.
