I have not had my surgery yet, but I am excited about being able to change my body type on my dating profile from Big and Tall to a few extra pounds! Is that weird? lol

Is anybody getting a sleeve during May in Mexico? Mine is May 8 at ALM.

I am on day 2 of my PreOp diet and I guess due to all the vegetables, gas has become a bit of a problem. I have never had any luck with simethicone, any other suggestions? Thanks! Larry

bueller? bueller? bueller? bueller?

Mine is May 8th too.

I am really hoping that once I lose some weight that my blood work will improve! Tell me some stats before and after significant weight loss, please! I am interested in BP, Sugar, and cholesterol. Thanks!!!

As each day passes and my surgery grows closer, I think of how my life will change. I wonder what will it be like to eat to live instead of living to eat. What will I do instead of eating? What do I look forward to if I am not eating? I have built my life around eating. Vacation meals will no longer be a focus point. Family gatherings will be for the family instead of the food at the gatherings. Wednesday night Mexican with my daughter will be just for my daughter instead of what I am going to be eating. Thanksgiving and Christmas will be strange. Sorry folks, just thinking out loud! I hope I can do this!

Try POF.com It's a pay site, but you can actually message users without paying. Match.com is HORRIBLE!!! There are mostly scammers and paid/fake profiles on there.

I know my BMI would be SOOOOO much better if I were 9 ft tall! lol

Women must not like big guys because I am AWESOME! I am smart, funny, tall, good looking, have a great job, a great sense of humor, and most of all I am very humble!!! I just assume that most women are intimidated by me! Hang in there, buddy!!! Oh by the way, dogs are better than people any day! Good luck to you!!!

Hmmm...I don't guess that it's really negative comments vs concerned comments and questions. Like.. why Mexico? Are you sure it's safe? Are you crazy? LOL mostly just concern

Awesome! Are you excited? Anybody give you crap about getting it done in Mexico?

Best of luck to you both! I am sure you will be fine!!! Just try to keep positive!

Thank you very much! what a great idea about the list of milestones!

Awesome! happy birthday to him!

Those sound delicious! A lot of people have underlying causes for overeating but I think I just love food.

Good luck!

Not much of a sweet eater myself... but I do love good food!

Thanks!

Enjoy yourself, learn to love you, find yourself, have fun, try new things, enjoy your friends, take it slow, and live life! Follow your heart but listen to your brain. Best of luck to you!

Hang in there!!! I will be having to do it soon too!

Mine is scheduled for May 8.

I will be using Dr. Elias Ortiz at ALM. My surgery is scheduled May 8
