So I didnt see a June thread and wanted to make one so we could all stay accountable and have a lot of good and bad experiences together!!! Introducing myself: My name is Kassandra, I am 27 years young, I have 3 great kids (9 yr old & 5yr old little boys & a 2 year old little girl), a wonderful hubby, and 3 great cats. I'm a type 2 diabetic & have sleep apnea. I decided to do this to take my life back because I do NOT want my kids to lose me so young. I'm 5 ft 2 and 258 lbs. I was 293 last summer then I started to make small changes to get ready for surgery. I had planned for the sleeve but my insurance won't cover it right now so RNY it is!!!

Jpeits52,
Yes, the journey has been long. But it will be well worth it. I am saying prayers for all my June sisters and brothers. May God bless the surgeons and their staff.

Good Luck. Hope all goes well. I'm 8 days behind you. Here's to a bright healthy future

To all of our family going in today, you're in our thoughts and we can't wait to hear how everything goes!!! Be sure to update us!!! You've got all of us cheering you on!!

You know what honey, these things happen. Cant beat ourselves up over it. Just dust yourself off and pick up where you left off. You CAN do this. I promise. Cheating can be harmful if you go nuts and cheat all day every day but one or two slip ups can happen. Just smile, remember you got this, and a quote I saw somewhere stuck with me because I'm a nighttime binge eater, "nothing tastes as good as skinny feels" I prefer "nothing tastes as good as healthy feels". But either way. You have us to help keep you upbeat

Hello all! I'm kind of new to this although I've been reading forums for a while now. After years of going back and forth between deciding if i should have surgery or not, Im finally going through with this. [emoji1] I'm schedule for June 17th. I have to say...I am so excited to finally be getting this done...

Bulletwithbutterflywings, thank you for the encouragement I have been beating myself up all night. Thinking what the hell am I doing I am having major surgery on Monday and if I can't do this I am setting myself up for failure. Today I am going to get back on track and work hard at drinking water. I too like that saying and am going to see if I can

somehow set it up on my phone as a reminder this week.
