Is the hospital close to the hotel we will be staying at.

I've already spoke with her and she said he can stay with me in the room. I'm wondering how comfortable he will be there 3 days is a long time. Just wanting some feed back from people that have been there done that.

Ok so many people talk about their Onderland and with some people it's when they lose 100 pounds and others is when they get under 200. Which do you think should be the Onderland meaning

Mine is the same date! I'll be praying for you that day as well!

My date is January 30 to I can't wait to feel the same way!

So date is set and in going to mexi Cali to see dr aceve. I'm so ready to start feeling like myself again! I haven't always been big so I don't feel like a fat girl inside. I've done diet after diet like the HCG which I did lose 65 pounds on but gained it all back. So I'm hoping this will help me lose it and keep it off.

I need to try and find my trigger food so I know to stay away from those foods. Thanks everybody for your input

Ok so how do you know if your addicted to food or if your just an over eater? I'm still pre op and I really don't know if I'm addicted to food or not. I'm some ways I think I am because food kinda controls my life but then I've done the HCG diet for five month and was very successful if you don't know about that diet its a very strict 500 calorie diet. Then of coarse gained it all back. So what I'm asking is how do you know if you have a food addiction?

I agree with all that. My sugery is jan 30 and I want to work on some of my food issues before so that my brain is not in shock along with my body. I know it's going to be hard I'm just glad I'm getting help before it gets to out of control.

Yeah I need a support system too the only person that knows is my husband. I tried telling my best friend ,which is heavy too, she says that I shouldn't do it we can do it the "natural" way so I can't talk to her about it. And my family will freak out if I tell them I'm waiting till its already done.

Ok thanks catracks were not to far apart.

This forum makes me more and more excited about my surgery. Everytime i get nervous I just look at everybody post and the nervousness goes away! Everybody says its the best thing they have ever done and I can't wait to feel like that. My sugury is jan 30 so until then I'm just excited and praying every thing turns out ok and I Have a safe recovery.

Ok sleeve veterans once you reach you goal weight how hard is it to maintain and not gain weight back?

January 30th yay!!!!

Not yet I'm scheduled end of January in Mexicali. I'm so nervous I hope I'm doing the right thing!

I'm so nervous and excited at the same time. I got my date scheduled and I feel like its really going to happen no more just talking about it!
