Hi all, I joined this forum in 2011 anticipating surgery, but my employer's insurance would not approve, but then I came down with leukemia and that totally shot it out of the Water. But I am back and hope it will be happening before the end of the year, with Medicare since I had to stop working.

I am looking for anyone who has been sleeved or going to be for support and encouragement.

I hope some will pick this group to communicate with others.

I finally did the last thing that they wanted, to get my A1C down. I did, from 8.9 to 6.9, amazing !!

Now will wait to hear when I can see the surgeon. I am so excited and feel like I am finally moving forward.

Congratulations! I know exactly how hard that is. Hope they can get you scheduled soon and you can be on your way. good luck

My NUT said no gummies because those vitamins are not as high quality and the gummies have a lot of carbs for what you get. Boo. But I changed over to the nasty bariatric advantage chewables and I haven't died yet but I do screw up my face every day when I chew them.

LAINIEG!!!!!! SO SO EXCITED FOR YOU!!!!!! Finally, it's starting to happen for you.

I just wanted to duck in here and claim my seat in the 50s group. I turned 50 last summer and still don't feel like I am mentally there yet. Physically, I was falling apart.

I was sleeved on April 20 and couldn't be happier with my recovery and progress so far.

When I turn 51 this summer, I will definitely be in a different place physically.

This is the year I regain my mobility and start to get my life back!

I just turned 54 and no joke, I feel better than I ever did in my thirties. Love my band.

@@Inner Surfer Girl, welcome to the group, you picked the best. I just turned 60 but no way I can leave this fibe group of ladies.
