Hi Jennifer, I'm scheduled to see Dr. Kelly on 7/12 and am starting at about the same weight as you. Glad to read your posts that it was a good experience! How are you doing now?

Hi KellyL.. thanks for friending me! I'm glad to meet someone that is also going to Dr. Kelly. I am scheduled for 7/13 and am so excited! However, I am having trouble figuring out what to do with my 5 year old so I'm realizing my husband may not be able to go with me! Did you stay at Florence Hospital? Any advice?

Hi Leslie... I'm another Leslie.. and my date is on the 12th too!

Hi Pam.. how are you doing? I'm down 45lbs and thrilled about it but still wishing it was going faster. Tell me some good news!

HI Pameleigh! So excited to "meet" another sleeve sister going on 7/12! Do you have Dr. Kelly?

Hi peppercma.. I just read your post in the Mexico forum. I'm going to see Dr. Kelly on 7/13. I'll be gone before you get there but keep in touch and I'll give you the low down. I've had surgery before and a catheter is not that bad. They put it in while you are "out" and then it's kind of a relief because I didn't want to get out of bed the first day after. Kelly L sys we won't have one tho.

Hi Seattle Sue! Tomorrow is the big day! You must be traveling today. I go see Dr. Kelly on 7/12.. best of luck for a smooth surgery and easy recovery!

Hi Silver lining.. thanks for the add! Best wishes to you on 7/15! Keep me posted on how you are doing!

Hi there, I'm a former mn girl now living in AZ and it was so encouraging to read about your success! I am trying to select a surgeon in TJ so I can get scheduled. Also trying to decide between the sleeve and the plication? Any comments on which?

Hi there! I wish I had done this in my early 30's because I just think of all the time spent wasted worrying about all the things I do being heavy. I'm 40 now and not wasting one more day! I'm scheduled to have my VST on 7/13/2011. Just wanted to say hello! I'm looking for a few people to commisserate with during pre op and celebrate with post op! Best of luck to you!

Hi there! Thanks for the add.. enjoy the last meals! Do the pre-op diet though because it's so nice to get a jump start on the weight loss!

HI there., I'm having my sleeve done on 7/13 too! Are you having it done in the states?

Hi there.. just checking in how are you doing?

Hi there.. love that you did the bike ride! Now I have to ask about your occupation comment.. training people on how to give away money? Do tell!

Hi there.. sorry just got your message that you are having it in Dallas. So you start your pre-op diet on 7/7? Yes.. insurance will not pay for me.. first because my bmi was 39 and then went to 40 and they changed their rules and wouldn't pay for it at all. Whatever! Anyway.. it's about 16-20k in the states and only $5500 in Mexico so yes... I am going to be a medical tourist!

Hi there.. where did you have your surgery? Was it S. Cal or Mexico? Just asking because I'm going to Mexico and looking to talk to others who have too. Either way I'd love to hear more about your experience.

HI! This website is NOT easy to navigate. There are posts, private messages, blogs, topics . ay yi yi! I know facebook. Can't it be simple like FB? I just found the help section today and figured out the weight ticker. Go to tickerfactory.com to create your ticker. You don't have to create an account, just select your background and slider then copy paste it to your signature on ur profile.

How does it happen that the scale is barely moving but I'm in smaller pants? I'm grateful.. I'm just sayin...

I am so thankful for all of you in this forum. It is so wonderful to read your posts and hear your ups and downs and know that we are not in this alone!

I'm going to be a fat2skinny mom too!

I'm in Tijuana at the Florence Hospital and I just met Dr. Kelly! Here is the NEWSFLASH! THEY FED ME! Apparently there was no purpose for the 5 day liquid diet and they wanted me to eat before I have surgery tomorrow morning! I can't have anything at all after 10pm but I just had my first solid food in 5 days.

It's been forever since I've been on this forum. Life is always so busy but I really appreciated LilMissDivas message today about stalls. I've been the same weight for 3mos just trying to break into 1derland. Thought I would be there long ago and have been wondering if this weight is where I'm stuck and if I was doing everything wrong. Will work on changing things up!

Last day I can have solid food on the soon to be "old stomach". So excited and nervous all at the same time!
