Changed my date! Now Sept 15the with Dr Aceves Lisa

Good luck with your surgery! Lisa

Yes, I am. I arrive in San Diego on the 14th and am scheduled to be sleeved on the 15th Lisa

Where in NC are you? I'm in Statesville, which is north of Charlotte. I know there's a doc in Mooresville that does the sleeve. Probably who I would have gone to if my insurance covered wls Lisa

Good luck to you! Hope all goes smoothly!! I'll say a prayer for you! Lisa

OMG What a horrible thing! Lisa

Thank you Tizzy! I appreciate the prayers! Lisa

Yep, it's gonna be me and you girl! Lisa

I'm glad you're feeling better today! My surgery's coming up fast and I'm beginning to get so nervous! So day 4 is a better day? Just hold on until then? Lisa

Oh wow, even better! I'd love to get mine over with. I can't wait to be on the other side. sitting on the loser's bench! Keep in touch and let me know how it goes. Lisa

In only 15 more days, I will be having the surgery that will change my life. I'm so excited! It is time for me to get a life! There are so many, many things I want to do. Ride my bike down the Virginia Creeper Trail, go hiking with my family, kick the soccer ball around with my son. And I am so sick of being ashamed of my body. I know this surgery is a tool, that this is going to take a lot of hard work on my part. I'm willing to do my part. So I have a stock pile of protein shakes sitting in my dining room. I still need to get some soups, popsicles, and jello. It's coming along Heck, I am even packed for the most part. That's how ready I am to go! I talked to my local doc last night and I was surprised how supportive he was. He asked a few questions, but didn't try to talk me out of having the surgery or going to Mexico for it. And I can plan for him to help with follow up labs, etc. This was the last area that troubled me, wondering what I would do if there was a problem, with Dr Aceves being so far away. Knowing Dr Kepley is there if I need him is very reassuring. I have always believe that God will guide us to the right path. If it's the wrong thing, obstacle after obstacle will be thrown in our paths. I know this is the right path because everything has fallen so easily and perfectly into place. Today is my last day to eat because I'm starting my preop diet tomorrow. I'm going to make today count, LOL! I've been taking a walk daily and drinking tons of water so I'll have some veins on my big day!

Nice to meet you, Lovey! Our dates are coming up fast! I am in 14 days Lisa

Hope it goes well! Will be thinking of you! Lisa

LOL! Whew, hope I don't post something crazy while under the influence! I need to warn Guy so he can keep the computer away from me. Lisa

Oh good, can't wait to see them... going now You're recovery going ok? Lisa

As a Labor and Delivery nurse, I have done my research! I also picked Dr Aceves to do my surgery and I don't feel the least bit crazy. I feel very confident in him and I know this will make a huge, positive impact on my life. I am so excited and ready to do this! Lisa

I'm glad you asked this. I would love to have some work done once my weight is gone. I have a long way to go first, but once I get there, I'd like to have a nice body. Lisa

I hope you get to feeling better!! Lisa

I feel ya, girl. I have 2 days left to eat

Did you call your doctor? Perhaps he can increase your pain med dose. It's very important to move and walk after any surgery. I'm sorry you're in so much pain! Lisa

Outstanding!!! I'm so happy for you!!! Lisa

Glad you're feeling well! I hope you have a quick recovery. Lisa

How awesome that you're already off your meds! How cool is that! You go girl!! Lisa
