I'm enslaved on May 15th and can hardly wait... I told my family and everyone has their opinion but I know I must do this for me. My husband is supportive and together we will embrace our future as I become healthier and happier be here for my grandchildren.

The typo was oddly appropriate, ha. I felt "enslaved" by my weight prior to having the VSG, and weight loss has in many ways emancipated me physically and emotionally. Best wishes to you for a healthier, happier future free of what holds you back now.

Well my 5/16 got postponed today... Big bummer!! Had MRI for a headache that lasted a week... turns out I had a minor stroke - OMG! No damage thank God but PCP wants more testing. I'm certainly blessed they found out before I was laying on the surgery table! Hopefully it wont be put off more then a week or two.. I'm in shock actually...

Ye gads! Glad you found that out when you did.

Have heard many stories of pre-op testing that revealed all kinds of things no one would have learned had they not been prepping for WLS.

Congrats on learning about this.

God was in the plan and he had that to be revealed on your behalf. He is still in the miracle business. Just trust in him and he will heal you for the procedure. Thank God for no damages.

Are there any sleevers out there that are singers? I'm having my surgery on 5/24 and I'm wondering what it will do to my voice, since the sleeve surgery is done near the diaphragm (and everyone knows a singer uses their diaphragm- LOL!!). My singing voice is one of the most special gifts I possess and I want to know if my sound will change after being sleeved.

Thoughts?

like you said earlier....

you, hubby, grand-kids will reap the benefits from your sleeve

Thanks ProudGrammy....Your words were so timely and came at the perfect moment! My surgeon just told a few minutes ago that my surgery has been postponed until June 6. I am so bummed out! Due to the minor stroke, my surgeon wants me to be cleared by a neurologist and that doctor isn't available to see me before Tues 5/24 (my former surgery date). AGH!!! Yes,, I know God is in control and I have to be patient...I've come this far so I can't quit. I'm just very sad right now...

      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?
