August 25th!

I am so excited. August 24.... Already counting down... 6 more weeks!

Aug 20th!

Can't wait. Nervous about failing at this. Anyone else have that anxiety?

I'm getting the sleeve. Self Pay and I am nervous about the expense too! It will put us in a pinch for sure, but I really need my health to get better.

I will be off for 2 days from work. Getting surgery on a Thursday, back to work on Monday. The Dr will write me a note to be off work for 2 WEEKS, but I have to work to pay for the surgery. Thank God its Laproscopic! Down time is much less.

Hi All! I'm scheduled for August 6th. I agree that time seems to be crawling by. My surgeon has me starting the shakes/liquid diet a week from tomorrow. I'm tempted to pig out on all my favorite junk foods that I'll never eat again (at least not for a LOOOONG time) but I know I'd hate myself afterward. It's taken me months to lose 10 lbs and I'm sure without too much effort I could gain it back in a week! Been reading about the regret some folks feel immediately post surgery, like they've made a huge mistake by getting sleeved. Also heard from folks in a local sleeve support group to expect substantial hair loss. Trying to stay positive and feel empowered about doing this but definitely a little scared. Can anyone relate??
