Ok so here's my story....last year I started my journey to have the sleeve done everything was going very well....I was approved to have it done on May 9th 2013.....I started my liquid diet and on day 2 I was rushed to the hospital for dehydration....I blacked out in the bathroom of the emergency room and woke up on the floor with the WORST BACK PAIN OF MY LIFE....long story short I hurt my back so bad I couldn't have the surgery :(.....so I went back to my old eating habits and kept putting the surgery off even tho my back was doing so much better. SO HERE I AM ALMOST A YEAR LATER and something just clicked in my head and said "GIRL DO YOU REALLY WANT TO LIVE LIKE THIS FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE OR DO YOU WANT TO GET READY FOR THE SUMMER WITH A NEW START ON LIFE"?? And I called my surgeon the next morning and made a appointment to see her and I seen her on February 17th and she checked all my paper work from last year and to my surprise she said I wouldn't have to start all over....I was the happiest PERSON ON earth at the time.....so she gave me a date for MARCH 8th 2014 .....I couldn't believe the date she said I was IN SHOCK.... All I have to do is the pre admission testing and some blood work from my doctor....I'm BEYOND EXCITED this time around....I'm nervous and scared but I believe in GOD AND he will see me thru :) I start my liquid diet 2moro and I'm scared of what happened last year so I will be drinking Water and liquids all day because I'm so ready to get this done and over with. *EXHALES* sorry for talking so much lol

I'm excited for you! Congrats. The more 'ready' you are... the better you do. Stay in that mindset. The pre op diet is a challenge but keep thinking of the light at the end of the tunnel. :)

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
