Saved By The Sleeve

I know that's right! Great job girl. I can't wait to see where I am at one month out!

I had to fly from San Diego into Houston and then into Florida after having my surgery in Mexico. YES it is a long walk in some airports, Houston's was huge. So, once I got dropped off to check in at San Diego airport I told them that I needed wheel chair assistance because I was recovering from surgery and they were great about it. The man wheeled me and my carry on bag all the way to my gate and I gave him a tip. The woman at the gate put instructions in the computer for me to be met by a wheel chair or an indoor airport shuttle upon arriving in Houston and Jacksonville, Florida. You don't have anything to worry about. If they tag your luggage the assistant will stop you by to retrieve it while they take you where you need to go once you arrive and if not, one of the airline staff will put it overhead for you :-) I flew Continental, I am sure the other airlines will be just as helpful. The weight of your baggage and purse to tug all the way through the airport at a brisk pace is over doing it, so believe me you are not alone. My pain wasn't that bad, but I still needed the helping hand.

Great idea :-) I LOVE them too and I am definitely going to make a burrito mush LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I cleaned out my closet BIG time LOL. Being that I was getting sleeved in March, I got rid of all of my winter clothes and took them to the Goodwill. It was a sweet farewell so to speak. I can't wait to shop for all new winter clothes. Well, for the first time in years I am excited about shopping for a winter wardrobe, knowing that I will be a lot smaller.

OMG 52lbs and 40 INCHES!!!!!!!! CONGRATULATIONS........That is exactly why I measured the night before surgery, but I am only 10 days post op 20 lbs down. I sure hope to have lost that amount of inches when I measure later down the road because that's whats up! :welldoneclap: :thumbup:

I am having my sleeve done with Dr. Almanza on the 18th and I can't wait neither! Best of luck to both of us :-)

Hi, I am so glad to have found this online community for VSG because the forums are great and informative! I am 38 years old, widowed with three handsome boys and very excited to be getting sleeved this month (03/18/11) and to be doing something for "ME" for a change :-) I have been losing and gaining the same 50 or 60 pounds for 15 years and I am tired, but not ready to give up yet. I am a little scared, but after reading so many posts on here I am happy to be finally doing this :-) I will be having my surgery in Mexico with Dr. Almanza and Nina is my coordinator.

Your before and after photos are amazing! They are a ton of inspiration and you look absolutely gorgeous. :-)
