I'm so excited although I know I'm going to get all nervous when it gets here!!

It's sad that at 26 I have no energy! I'm a full time student (graduate May 2012) yay! I work full time and I'm a mommy!!! I'm drained at the end of the day and I'm at my heaviest I've ever been in my life!! It's scary and since I got high blood pressure after my pregnancy... I'm looking to better my life being healthy for me and my daughter. I hope this November or December is the surgery date. I need to go to my psychological appointment and see how it goes after that. Reading everyone's stories truly inspires me!!

Thanks so much guys!!! I'm going to work full time during the day and school at night. My day starts at 6:00 am and I'm home until 8:00 then it's mommy mode and make dinner take my little one a bath and get ready for bedtime. :/ I'm always on the go!!! But you guys are right. I need to rest. I'm going to wait till Christmas break to have it done. I have enough leave time at work. I work in a federal office so the paid leave is good and also my insurance

Wow! Well that calms my nerves a bit since most people in here say that! I have my mind set. Also I've been reading that it takes 2 to 3 weeks to fully recover. Maybe I should wait and do it in the Christmas break when I'm not at school. What's ur recommendation? You think I can be back at school in a week or the rest and time off is necessary?

Thank you. Is there anything you regret about having the sleeve done??

I just met with the nutritionist and ill be getting the psychological evaluation on the 30th. I'm 26 and I feel like I'm way too young and want to feel healthy again. I'm hoping ill get sleeved in November! I'm still so scared but reading everyone's journeys on here has helped me so much!!! THANKS!

I guess it's surgery I'm scared of? I just hope everything goes ok!!

I'm 26 and about 3 and a half years ago I weighed about 180 and I looked so thin, it was weird. I'm 5'5 but I guess I have heavy bones? I don't know but I got pregnant and it's been 2 years and I'm at the heaviest I've ever been. I'm at 260 and although I still don't look huuuuge my blood pressure is out of control!!! I remember how nice ppl used to be towards me just 3 years ago. There is def. a huge change. Hopefully my operation next month goes good!!! :: fingers crossed::
