Hello Everyone~ Especially the post op sleevers~ Do you find that you have more overall JOY now that you are sleeved and dropping the weight? As I look back the more weight I have gained the more angry and disgruntled I have become or maybe it's this Washington weather...lol :ph34r: ~ As I went to my pre op information session last week I noticed the energy in the room was extremely sad, depressed, and just low~ I was actually the only one in the room smiling from ear to ear because I have hope that the struggle is almost Over! I'm ready for a healthier less stressful ME~ Has Your MOOD changed in a more positive way? If yes, how so? Also while waiting to be sleeved do you so in confidence or demise???? In other words are you beginning to change your thoughts and internal feelings about yourself NOW instead of waiting to be sleeved? {hope this makes sense to you ALL} Thanks Sleevers~ T~ :wub:

Thanks for your response~ Congratulations on getting your JOY back and the weight loss! :wub:

Just for today I will NOT be Obsessed with the Scale! :wub: ........... P.S~ I'm on the waiting list about 3-4 months out from my surgery date~

Heeeeeyyy! When are you looking to get your surgery? I'm looking at a timeframe of November or so~

Thanks ladies for all of your responses! I will continue to move forward in the process of getting sleeved! I have to wait about 2 months to begin the process of appointments psyc, nut etc. Until then I am going to work on me internally and try and uncover the psychological reasons I overeat~ I will check in on this site daily to learn as much as possible~ My scale is being put away and I am going to begin living my life and not allowing my weight to hinder me anymore!!!!! Again thanks ladies~ T~ :wub: :wub: P.S~ Feel free to add me I could use the support!

Thanks a million ladies! I value and appreciate your advice~}}}} Looking forward to this journey~}}}}

Thanks soooo much MeMe for your openess and honesty! As a military Spouse I understand the ups downs and emotional trials this lifestyle offers. I am looking forward to being FREE from this weighed down lifestyle and addiction called obesity~

I had the paragaurd for nearly 4 years and caused bloating and horrible cramps~ //// it worked though, thinking of getting the pill or paragaurd in for 18 months then have me a baby~

I am also nervous about getting preggos! I am wanting to take a simple pill since my Hubby and I plan to have a child about 2 years post surgery~ I surely hope I don't get preggos like 6 months after getting this surgery~

Hello Ladies! I am a newbie and like many of you I have tried and failed at dieting for nearly 7 years~ I am a Military Wife stationed at JBLM, WA~ I was recently suggested by my PCM to have bariatric surgery~ After long nights of research I decided to pursue getting the "Sleeve" done. Today I went to the orientation seminar where they stated that this process takes from 5-7 months....WOWZER! My OCD personality went straight into panic mode...lol.... { don't judge}........ I am extremely active I am involved in a kickboxing academy 3-5x per week as well as roller skating however my weight is at a constant stand still!!!!!! What was the process like for you going through the TRICARE system~ How long did it take for you to get a surgery date from time of initial orientation? More importantly what did you do while waiting? Thanks in advance~ T~ :wub: :wub:
