Wish I was where you all are. sniff, sniff. I am still in the dreaming stage. LOL Unless insurance comes through this week I will have to wait until my actual date in April. Can we say anxious lady here? I have to admit however, that I am not looking forward to the liquid diet portion, but I know it is a must. can't wait to follow y'all's transformations. Kriss

I'm not nervous yet, but am sure I will be as the big day gets closer. Right now I am in insurance limbo. If they come back with my approval I could be sleeved as soon as March 5th. I need this so bad that all I have done is syke ,myself up for he big day. Congrats to you Bunny for the awesome job so far. The rest of us will be with you shortly. :-)

Mine could be March 5th. I will know by the end of this week. Otherwise I am scheduled for April 16th. I would rather do the 5th so am keeping fingers crossed that insurance gives me the high sign by the end of the week. Good luck everybody.

Right now I am April 16th, but may be moved up to the first of March. Will know for sure this week. I would be so excited to do it next month, but will just have to see what happens. Either way, I am excited and can't wait to have this dont. Glad to meet you both.

I am going to be starting my pre-op diet soon and I am super nervous, but what I keep thinking about is what the end result is going to be. I know it is going to be hard to adjust at first, but I am trying to get my mind set in the right place before hand to make it easier. I really appreciate everyone's comments here. Seeing what others go through is really going to help me a lot.

I just have to say that everyone in this thread is amazing. I am getting sleeved soon and being ehre reading all these success stories are so encouraging to me. I take in all the advice and hints so that my loss will be successful post-op. I do have one question for those of you that have done so great.......what do you do to prefent all the gastly sagging skin? Is there a secret to help avoid it after surgery? I feel it is inevitible and I think God I have an awesome husband, but sure would like to not have to go through an additional surgery when all is said and done if there is something I can do to keep it from being so horrible. I expect some, but if I can help I want to do it with dedication. Another problem I have is I am 61 so that doesn't help I am sure, but I love to work out. After winning Atlanta's Biggest Loser in 2010 I learned how to work out effectively so I am not afraid of work. I weighed 269 when I started that competition and lost to 235. It was awesome, but I have gained 15 back since then, hense decided it is time to take drastic measures with the sleeve. Any helps and hints are an added bonus to me. Kriss

Hi Ladies, Although my surgery isn't until April, it may be moved up a month. Will know in a week or so. Anyway, I am too scared to pig out prior to going in the liquid diet. This is a personal thing, but I am thinking that if I pig out prior it is going to be harder to give up. I struggle with several food adictions or trigger foods and I don't want that when I start the liquid. In fact, I did a liquid test a couple days ago and it was okay. Anxious to hear how you gals do.

Looking great! I am pre-op and seeing all these wonderful results really makes me even more anxious for my surgery day. Can't wait to see more updates.

Hi Y'all, I am scheduled for April 16th. Very excited, but super scared. Not of the operation, but of being turned down and having my bubble burst. I am 61 SW - 250 Goal - 150 Getting this done in Georgia. Glad to see lots of A pril Sleevers here for support. Kriss
