Hello everyone, I've decided to have the gastric sleeve, my first consultant was August 22, after talking with the surgeon these are my requirement: blood work,psych eval, one visit with a dietitian,online teaching class, I ask the surgeon how will I know if I'm approved, he said that I will be approve, and I'm thinking WOW so where do I go from here?????? Well I had my blood work done the same day,,, my 2nd visit with my surgeon is Sept 18,,,my guess will be that he will be ready to schedule my surgery???? ~N£wLif£NewM£~

It's soooo funny at time I have to do a double take to see who's staring back at me.

My best purchases so far, A full length Mirror

Hello all: I was sleeve on Oct 18, down 30 pounds so far, I only weigh myself once a month, my problem is my coworkers and friends/family can tell but I can't really see a different until I put on my clothes and what a mess it is :-) I have sum nice clothes but they aren't looking good on me, I did had to purchase a pair of slack and a blouse for our christmas party and I went from a size 22/24 to a 18 in pants, shirts size from 24/2x down to an xl so I'm sure I can rock my new sleeve. Food wise I have to make myself eat, might eat once or twice a day and that's good enough for me..

Hello I'm from Gautier Ms, I was sleeved on October 18, in Gulfport Dr Balder was my surgeon and I am doing great

I was also sleeved on the 17th, I'm feeling much,much much, better now :-) it was so hard to get my fluids in so I went out to purchase a sipping cup,now I'm able to get more fluids in.

Hello friends, as of 7:30 this morning I am now sleeved, other than a little sore I'm doin just fine. I will keep u posted on my progress

Friends, since I got my surgery dATE, my head has been spinning like crazy, because I have been cleaning, organizing my closet,painting,cleaning my yard and so on, when I get nervous and excited I start cleaning.

Hello everyone, I have started my journey Aug 22 and now I officially have a surgery dATE which is Oct 18.
