Well..All the waiting is finally over! Tuesday 6:30 A.m. I report to the surgery center. Not really sure how I feel right now. Mostly excited about changing my life, but still not sure really wrapped my head around all of this yet.

I'm mostly concerned about the loose skin. I lost 100 pounds two years ago but I lost that way very slowly. No issues with skin being loose then. I have made at least one trip to the gym and talk things over with a trainer. Planning to go and develop a program with the trainer so I can follow it daily and hopefully avoid the loose skin.

Anyway here goes nothing! Wish me good luck!!!!

@Rovobay: thanks! Yes, still very surreal! I think I'm high as a kite on Dilaudid right now, so everything seems Easy like Sunday Morning! Lol! I think I'll get a reality check once I'm taking loratab at home!

However, I'm very excited to be an official Sleever!!! I'm hoping to get weighed at some point so I can see how much I've lost so far!!!

#LETSGETITSTARTED

Awesome to hear. Just keep up that positivity and you will be a okay. ???? thank God for good meds. Make sure you get what you need for home. Don't worry, my mom in law was sleeved and by the 3rd day she was out shopping. Crazy but that's what she said. So you will be great.

I'm hoping the weight loss plans to kick in soon! I lost 16 lbs during the pre-op diet...and not a lb since. Today starts day 2 post op. I know I've heard about stalls and all...but seems a bit early. Guess my body's gonna take it slow. Just wondering if this is how it's gonna be.

Dropped 5 more lbs today so I see this is par for the course. Now down 21 lbs !

Congrats man! I'll be close behind you now. Just got approved today. I hope I lose as quickly as you. Keep us posted!

Congrats on the Approval Mike! Do you have a date?

I'm sure you'll do fine with the weight loss. I'm trying to follow all the advice from others so I don't drive myself crazy. My weight is coming off very staggered. I started the pre-op diet and dropped 16 lbs in 10 days. Didn't lose any lbs for 5-6 days and then lost 5 lbs. so....good news is we wil get there since there are lots of success stories on here!!

Hey Big Boy... glad too see you are doing so well. Your off to a great start. Don't worry about this week and not losing more weight. You were filled with so many fluids and your body is slowly eliminating them. I'm sure it kicks into gear in the coming week. Be patient with yourself and it will all happen as it should .

Omg. ✅You're not your. ❎????

Still waiting on an official date from the person who schedules for the surgeon but it sounds like it will be sometime in November.

That's what's up with Wifey too. We called Blue Cross & they gave us a date but still waiting to hear from Surgical Center.

Keep us posted when you hear back. That times passes by so quickly once your date comes in.
