Hello Everyone! Well, after years of yo-yoing, dieting, phentermine etc. and after jumping through the insurance hoops.... I finally have my surgery date. April 22, 2013!!! It doesn't quite yet feel real. Although I am scheduled, start my liquid diet monday and have a letter of approval from aetna, I still feel as though at any moment the doctors office is going to call and say they changed their mind. My starting weight is 330, I am 5'9 and pear shaped. I have this awesome husband and handsome two yesr old son and they are being cheated by me. I am not the wife and mother I want to be. I want to have more energy, I want to be able to get down on the floor with my little boy and not worry about my back locking up, and I want to let my husband show me affection without cringing because he is touching my fat. I just want the old me back. As the date approaches, O am so full of emotion. I am relieved, excited, scared to fail, overjoyed eyc

Yes, i did have the sleeve.and yes laproscopic with one 3in incision.

Hey Robin, i had my surgery yesterday morning. Still in hospital but getting to come home tonight.

(flailing my arms wildly and shouting) Me, Me, Me! That's my date too! I am so excited! Can you believe it? We are all so close to surgery! I am also so glad I found this forum!

Crying too! That is so incredibly sweet! I too am a few weeks out from surgery and have a toddler at home. Just think how much greater we will be as moms!

Thanks MrsG!

Looking good ashb!!!

Congrats Shauna, look forward to hearing about your journey. Mine is on the 22nd

Pipula!!!! Oh my goodness you foxy lady! Congrats you look amazing and are an inspiration to me. I am getting skeeved on the 22nd.

I hear ya gals, I am looking forward to being happy with myself again. I have always been thick but I used to feel fabulous. Never would you see me at walmart or target in sweays and no make up... I loved doing my hair and putting together an outfit. These days my husband litetally refers to my clothes as comfy clothes and dressy sweats. I cannot wait to feel comfortable on my own skin again. Loose skin and all!

Thanks Ladies and Sparkle, sending positive thoughts your way, just think girl next year at this time we will be welcoming and encouraging the new sleevers and we will working ate new thinner bodies!

I April 22 amd from Texas too! Congrays and good luck to everyone. I am so beyond excited and nervous and pretty much just crazy at this point

My list is quite similar to yours. I live in constant battle with myself if I will go to family events or be too embarrassed at how overweight I have gotten. Not being the mom I could be to this precious little boy I have and wife to my husband. And just not liking who I have become.

That's the same day my hubbs will have his. You have got this girl!
