Just set my Surgery date today for December 28th!



Recommended Posts

Hello,

This is my first post on here. Ive been reading everyone's journeys as I prepared to embark on my own. I am 22, male, 370 pounds. I am getting surgery done in December on the 28th in Mexico. Very nervous, but excited to start getting healthy. I plan on making video logs and posting them on YouTube as I progress through my journey. I've always been overweight and I'm tired of standing on the side lines watching my friends and family live life. It's my turn. I record music as a hobby and would love to make music and preform someday. I'm hoping to find some friends on here to form a support group. post-266118-14472153948155_thumb.jpg

Charley,

Its great your doing this now at 22. It beats a life time of the next fad diet that never works. I have not set my date for surgery as yet, but it will be somewhere around when you do. I just finished my cardio and my Dr. from Silver Cross Hospital in New Lenox Illinois said that was all I needed to complete all the requirements. My Insurance is a go, so after my Doctor gets the cardio which was much easier than I ever thought, I too can set a time. I will follow your journey and hope only the best.

Welcome and congrats on making the decision to change your life forever. My daughter and I both have had the sleeve done this year. I got mine on 9/1 and she got hers on 10/20. It was by far the best decision I have ever made. I regret nothing. It's so nice to wake up every day knowing that in the near future I will be at a healthy comfortable weight. I'll be able to look in the mirror and see the person I've always wanted to see. The person that will match my outgoing personality. The sleeve truly does change your life in all different ways. Your attitude changes, your thought process, your outlook on life everything. Good luck on your journey.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
