CONGRATS!! I WAS SLEEVED ON 12/20/11 AND YES I CAN FINALLY EAT AND FEEL FULL INSTEAD OF THAT STUCK FEELING!!

I HAD A BRUISE AND A BUMP FROM THOSE SHOTS TOO. WHEN I WENT TO THE DOC 2 WEEKS OUT HE SAID IT SHOULD GO AWAY AND IT DID AROUND 4 WEEKS.

I'M PRAYING FOR YOU. HOPING YOU WILL RECOVER SOON!

WOW!! GREAT JOB!! YOU LOOK AWESOME!!!!

I BUY THEM FROM WALMART.

GOOD JOB!!!! U LOOK AWESOME!!

CONGRATS! YOU LOOK FAB!!!

SORRY TO HEAR THAT. I HOPE ALL GOES WELL. YOU ARE IN MY PRAYERS.

THANKS! IT'S GOOD TO KNOW IT GETS BETTER.

I HAD MY SURGERY DONE LAPAROSCOPIC WITH ONE INCISION THROUGH MY NAVAL MY DOC SAID B4 SURGERY HE MIGHT HAVE TO DO ANOTHER INCISION ON MY RIGHT SIDE, BUT AFTER SURGERY HE SAID IT WASN'T NEEDED. I'M GLAD BECAUSE THIS WAS MY FIRST SURGERY EVER AND I HAVE NO KIDS. THEY USED THE SURGICAL GLUE AND ITS HEALING NICELY I CAN BARELY SEE THE INCISION!

I'M SORRY I HOPE U FEEL BETTER SOON. WE WERE SLEEVED ON THE SAME DAY. I'M DOING REALLY WELL. JUST A FEW PROBLEMS SLEEPING ALL NIGHT. TAKE CARE AND GET WELL.

I ONLY TOLD MY SISTER AND MADE HER PROMISE NOT TO TELL FAMILY OR FRIENDS. I WAS SLEEVED ON 12/20/11, SOME HAVE NOTICED MY WEIGHT LOSS BUT I SAY I'M EATING LESS AND EXERCISING, WHICH IS TRUE! I FEEL IT'S NOBODY'S BUSINESS WHAT I'VE DONE AND I DON'T NEED THE OPINIONS OR THE GOSSIP WHILE I'M HEALING. I'VE ALREADY HEARD SOME POSITIVE COMMENTS (YEAH!!!) AND SOME NEGATIVE FROM SOME FAMILY LIKE "HOW MUCH WEIGHT DO YOU PLAN ON LOSING?, CAUSE U DON'T WANNA LOSE TOO MUCH AND LOOK SICK." COMMENTS LIKE THAT IN THE PAST WOULD MAKE ME QUIT. BUT NOW I SAY "IF I DON'T KEEP LOSING I WILL BE SICK! I HAVE HBP, JOINT PAIN, SLEEP APNEA. I'M GETTING HEALTHY!" AND THAT SHUTS EM UP FAST. LOL I'M SOOOO HAPPY!!!! I'VE DONE THIS AND MAYBE I'LL TELL THEM A LONG TIME FROM NOW, BUT FOR NOW I'M GOOD.

IN THE PAPER WORK THEY SENT HOME FROM THE HOSPITAL SAID "YOU MAY RESUME SEXUAL ACTIVITY WHEN YOU FEEL PHYSICALLY AND EMOTIONALLY STABLE."

THANK YOU, YES I'VE REALIZED SHE WILL NEVER CHANGE, BUT I CAN MAKE A BETTER ME!

I ONLY HAVE ONE INCISION ON MY NAVEL. MY DOC SAID B4 SURGERY THAT HE MIGHT HAVE 2 DO ONE ON MY RIGHT UPPER SIDE IF NEEDED. GLAD HE DIDN'T, HE ALSO REMOVED A HUGE MOLE I HAD INSIDE MY NAVEL AND ONE RIGHT BELOW IT. MY SURGICAL GLUE IS PEELING OFF AND I CAN BARELY SEE THE CUT!

I HAD SURGERY 12/20/11. MY SISTER IS THE ONLY PERSON IN MY FAMILY I TOLD AND NONE OF MY FRIENDS KNOW. SHE CAME IN FROM OUT OF TOWN N SUPPORTED ME. FOR CHRISTMAS WE WENT OVER TO MY MOMS AND I DECIDED TO TELL HER I'D BEEN SICK AND DIDN'T WANT ANYTHING TO EAT. I DIDN'T STAY LONG BECAUSE SHE KEPT INSISTING I EAT BECAUSE IT WAS CHRISTMAS AND HER FEELINGS WOULD BE HURT IF I DIDN'T EAT. SHE CENTERS EVERYTHING AROUND FOOD. SHE DIDN'T BOTHER TO ASK WHAT WAS WRONG OR HOW I WAS FEELING. THAT'S EXACTLY WHY I DIDN'T TELL HER ABOUT THE SURGERY. I KNOW MY MOM AND SHE PROBABLY WOULD'VE HAD ME IN TEARS WITH NEGATIVE COMMENTS. I DIDN'T TELL MY DAD OR MY YOUNGER SISTER BECAUSE EVERY SINCE I WAS A KID AND TO THIS DAY THEY'VE CALLED ME FAT IN ARGUMENTS OR OUT OF ANGER. GROWING UP I'VE ALWAYS BEEN A LITTLE HEAVIER COMPARED TO MY SISTERS. THEY'RE STILL SMALL BUT I'VE CONTINUED TO GAIN OVER THE YEARS. SO AS I LOSE WEIGHT I'LL TELL I'M DIETING AND EXERCISING. MY OLDER SISTER HAS ALWAYS BEEN SUPPORTIVE OF ME. I'M GLAD I HAVE HER.

I'M HAVE SURGERY ON THE 20TH, AND I TAKE PRILOSEC EVERYDAY. I HAVE FOR YEARS SO I'M SURE I'LL CONTINUE TAKING THEM AFTER SURGERY.

WOW!!! U LOOK FABULOUS!!!! I'M HAVING SURGERY ON DEC.20TH I'M NOT TELLING MY PARENTS BECAUSE I KNOW THEY WOULDN'T WANT ME TO HAVE SURGERY. U LOOK GREAT!!! THANKS FOR SHARING. IT GIVES ME ENCOURAGEMENT!

CONGRATS!! I WILL BE SLEEVED ON THE 20TH ALSO!!!

GOOD FOR U!!!! I'M BEING SLEEVED ON DEC.20TH. I'M ON DAY 3 OF PRE-OP DIET SO FAR SO GOOD. I JUST KEEP LOOKING AT FOOD THINKING "OK I'LL HAVE SOME", BUT I SUDDENLY REMEMBER AND SAY TO MYSELF "GIRL U CAN'T EAT THAT GO DRINK SOME WATER" LOL

I'M HAVING MY VSG WITH DR. SCARBOROUGH ON DEC.20TH, I JUST HAD MY PRE-OP .APPT. WITH HIM ON TUE. I HAD TO DO THE 6MOS WEIGHT MGT. CLASSES THERE. I WILL BE LETTING EVERYONE KNOW HOW IT GOES, I'M SUPER EXCITED!

I'M HAVING MY SURGERY DEC.20TH @ TLC SURGERY WITH DR. SCARBOROUGH. I WOULD LOVE TO MEET UP.

I started my first weight management class in june and had my last class on nov. 17th. I called the doctors office on the 29th and asked if they'd heard from my insurance (bcbs of texas). She said she would give them a call. She called back and said i was approved! She said i should've received my letter.( i haven't received it yet), but i start my pre op diet and docs visit on the 6th. My surgery is scheduled for dec. 20th. I'm really nervous about the pre op diet. I pray i won't cheat, or feel weak or sick. My surgeon is dr. Scarborough at tlc surgery in houston,tx. I'm sooo ready!!!

THANKS EVERYONE, I AM SUPER EXCITED!!!! I FEEL SO BLESSED!!!!
