Cant Stop Obsessing!
Denise's New Life replied to mome2mad's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Your not obsessing your just getting so very exceited. A whole new life is ahead of you. There are many emotions that come into play with WL surgery. As it gets closer you may second guess yourself and start getting nervous. This is all normal. Just keep your eye on the prize. a healthy new you. I had surgery April of 2011 , I always wanted to parasail and well 2 weeks ago in florida I did. What a wonderful gift we are given with this surgery. -

Holy Wrist Bones!
Denise's New Life replied to brandymarie81's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
hey that is great - keep up the good work -
It has been one year since my surgery. This has been the best year of my life. when I started this I was 460 pounds. July of 2010 I was 450 when I went to the surgeons office for the first time. April 7, 2011 I was 410 pound the day of surgery. So I have lost 176 since surgery and 226 total. I have 54 pounds to go. things are slowing down and I went to my surgeon yesterday for my one year visit and he says this is normal. That I need to bump things up though with excercise and watching extra caerefully but he is very impressed with what I have done already. This forum has helped a great deal , and showed me the sleeve does work. I was suppose to get the DS surgery and when he went in I had very bad gaul stones stuck to my adominal wall and he needed to take care of that and was afraid of infestion so I got the sleeve instead. I was upset at first but got over it and joined this forum and saw that the sleeve does work. i am very happy now for the sleeve instead of the DS. Dr. G says that i could of had the rest of the surgery this year but he said that I was so successfull with the sleeve that I don't need it. I am determined to loose this last 54 more pounds but in the meantime I feel great. I am 50 years young and feel 20 again, I have been given my life back.

You will feel like a million bucks and all will go fine. Being scared and excieted all at the same time is normal we have all gone through it.

It is a shame when some have problems. They do end up to be ok though. Most have no problems at all to very little problems. i really didn';t have any major problems. There is a particular person on here who I think is a drama queen and post so much about so many problems for the attention. You just enjoy your journey. I am

What Didnt You Use That You Brought For Yourgastric Sleeve Surgery Hospital Stay?
Denise's New Life replied to jasleeve's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hello, One thing not metioned here is a battery power fan. I took one and used it. My hospital said they would have to inspect a plug in one and the fan was my lifesaver. Hospitals can be hot and it was very cooling and soothing for me. good Luck on your sleeve -
