    What's the story behind your profile name?

    SparkleCat- several years ago a friend and myself decided to go to a huge Carnival party...while getting ready we literally covered ourselves in glitter! Glitter hairspray, Body Glitter, glitter make up....it was everywhere! When I got home, I was so exhausted (and, being honest, more than a little schmammered) I crawled directly into bed and slept like a log! I woke up the next day and the glitter covered everything! My sheets, my floor, my clothes and my jet black, long haired cat, Kisa! I texted my friend "oh my God! Kisa is covered in glitter! I have a SparkleKitty!" Since SparkleKitty could be construed as slightly risqué...I cleaned the phrase up for public forums...SparkleCat was born

    CO - Denver

    Agreed! I would also attend...but if I'm honest, I with surgery coming up, I probably couldn't organize it
  3. Oh no! 3 DAYS! I don't think I could handle 3 or even 2 weeks of clear liquids! I've already warned friends and family to expect an unhappy Carrie for those three days! Love the props, but I'm not earning them

    April 22 here! Only 3 days of a clear liquid pre-op which I am grateful for It's starting to get real! Doubt, apprehension and excitement are regular parts of my daily life now....I am hoping to not add regret! Love all the stories! As y'all cross the sleeve line please continue to let us know how it's going!

    High Heels....

    I just realized I never responded! Thank you so much for the offer....I am about three weeks away and starting to freak out a little! I can't believe what I am getting myself into emotionally, physically and financially. I'm both excited and terrified!

    Anyone having the sleeve in april?!

    Add me to the April 22nd club! I'm in Denver and just finished my last class and everything was submitted to insurance this morning. I keep moving through excitement, fear, hopefulness, panic and trepidation. A week ago all I would think was "I can't wait to live my life after my sleeve" now I can't even imagine how to process and get used to the changes I will be making. I'm looking forward to following all of our journeys and praying that I, like so many others on this site, will be starting a new and wonderful chapter in my life....just have to swim through my fear of the unknown first

    Any Colorado sleevers?

    Any Coloradans getting sleeved in April? I'm thinking we should take advantage of the Spring weather and maybe get a walking/biking group together?

    How are you wonderful Denver women doing? I have been officially scheduled for surgery on April 28th....which means my last hurrah is going to be at The Rockies home opener I really am looking forward to spending the summer slimming down, biking, hiking and enjoying this great city with a little more confidence. Would live to hear updates from Denver post-ops

    Any April Sleevers

    I feel ya! I am also excited, nervous and scared...I have moments when I wonder if I am making the right decision, but they are becoming less. As of yesterday, all of us are about a month away from completely changing our lives...most for the better. Let the emotional roller coaster begin!

    High Heels....

    I had a breast reduction a little over 10 years ago....one of my better decisions! While I haven't been sleeved yet. From what I have read here, breast reduction recovery was easy. My sister had augmentation and was in much more pain than I was...probably because they cut through and stretch muscle tissue. If you can get wls, you can definitely handle a reduction!
