Tomorrow is sleeve day!



Recommended Posts

Tomorrow I'm finally being sleeved after being delayed since 12/2013. I honestly don't know how to describe how I feel other than saying it's like a mixed bag of emotions, memories, nervousness and excitement just to name a few. I've been heavy all of my life and can never tell you that I know what it's like to be at a regular size, I remember even being the fat kid in kindergarten. Needless to say this is going to be quite an ordeal which will never be lacking in emotions. I think about several missed opportunities in life as well as many judgements that I endured that was specifically difficult during my high school years ( I'm 38 May 17). Tomorrow symbolizes something that always seemed to be out of this world for me which is a chance to finally have a substantial shot at being at a healthy weight as well as having a better quality of life for me and my son. This sleeve will allow me to open many doors for myself that I've avoided basically my entire life. Im a very bubbly person and people seem to love to be around me, I just need to be that bubbly cheerleader for myself and be confident and comfortable with who I am in my own skin, I finally have my chance. I'm going to honor my sleeve!!!

You are going to questioned it up until you get on the table but you will be glad when you get on the mend.

Hi Cushy,

Congratulations. The sleeve is a wonderful second chance and I hope you use it to your best effort. The first couple of weeks are pretty rough but don't have any regrets because this gets easier and more wonderful day by day. You will start losing weight and you will feel so good about yourself and life in general. People won't recognize you but you will be able to show them the person you have always been underneath. More beautiful and vivacious. Good luck.

Thank you so much, and there is certainly a person underneath fighting to get out, she will soon have her time to shine. Thanks again.

      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?
