WOO-HOO!!!!!!

Financing in place and surgery scheduled for June 12th with Dr. Aceves. So it looks like Ruthgrosvenorcox, my DBF and I will be headed to Mexico to change our lives and our health. :unsure:

Looking forward to it being over and finally being able to get this weight off and keep it off for good! Anyone else having surgery around that time? Let us know -- we'll have a party to Celebrate :)

Congratulations! I'm so happy for you.

Thank you -- I hope my recovery goes as well as you, Susan and WasA. It will be nice to have someone else down there with me, although Ruthi has been through the wringer, so I am sure this surgery will be a breeze for her. Me, on the other hand, this will be my first major surgery. ;):eek6:

I have had my gallbladder out (lap), been banded (lap), and am now 5 weeks post-op from the VSG (lap). I have to say the VSG was the easiest of them all. I was worried about traveling home alone on a 6 hour flight but the pain was minimal. It feels like you did a ton of sit-ups and the more you move, the better you feel. You're both going to do great.

WASA was sick when she had her revision and had a longer recovery but did great as well.

Thanks WasA. I am sure I will have many questions beforehand and probably a million more afterwards -- consider this fair warning to you, Elizabeth and *Susan*.

Yeah!!! I had my sleeve surgery on 4/28/09 and I'm feeling great!

Did you go to Dr. Aceves? If you did, we were there at the same time. My surgery was 4-29

Congratulations Angel! That's only a month from now and I am sure the time will fly by!

A really good friend of mine is there right now. She had sleeve surgery yesterday.

Yay for the sleeve! We are all going to be living happier lives!

Thanks Daisy --

I am sure as fast as the first 4 months of the year flew by, June will be here before I know it. I'm looking forward to it being over and seeing the weight come off -- I know it will be work, I've battled weight my entire life -- however, this time the work will be gratifying in knowing that the weight won't come back!

Happy to be going with someone else, too -- and even happier that Ruthie doesn't have to go alone. I wouldn't be entirely alone as my DBF is going with me ... Ruthie was going to do it all on her own, so now I'm happy she will have the support of me and Bob (my DBF):glare:

I went by myself. Sometimes it amazes me that I did. I don't like to do anything alone. Anytime I want to do something, I call friends and if they can't go, I just stay home.

I still can't believe I got on a plane,went to a strange airport, drove with strangers to a strange hospital, and had surgery where they removed a good majority of my stomach.

Just goes to show how strong you can be when it is for something you REALLY want ... think of all the possibilities ahead of you now that you've done all this on your own!!!

I am really anxious to be off this stupid but necessary liquid diet so I can really see how the sleeve works.

Elizabeth and Susan were not hungry but I am starving most of the time. My stomach just growls and growls. I really hope when I move to full liquids on Sunday, this will improve. This is, by far the only thing hard about this entire process.

Hi

I'm from the UK and I had my surgery in Czech Republic on 24/03/2009 and its the best thing I've ever done, I wish I had done it earlier now.

I'm sure you will be fine. All the best for the surgery.

Take Care.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      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!!
