YES! I am less than a month out and I keep going back and forth too. Like maybe I should try counting calories again and THiS tiME it will work...but then I remember that for what seems like my entire life I've dieted, and nothing has worked!! This is just cold feet, but I will follow through!

I think it's awesome that you're so willing to share your journey, and I would love to have a "veteran" to talk through during my process! I'm sending you an email now just so you have my contact info! Thank you thank you thank you!

WOW!!!!!! You look incredible!!!!! That is so motivating!!! And to know that you only take vitamins now, instead of your other medicine- AMAZING!

I feel lucky with my insurance too- only 3 months supervised diet (ended up being 5 sessions), psych eval, and EKG- 100% covered. The only thing I'm super anxious about is the time immediately after the procedure. I don't have a high pain tolerance and I don't do well with anesthesia - BUT it'll totally be worth it! My stats- 240 lbs, 5'6" hoping to be about 140 in 18 months 😊

I had to go through 5- last one the first week in September! Who's your dietician? I am seeing Suzanne- she's amazing! Good luck!

Congratulations on such progress for 5 months! That's incredible!!! I didn't know they didn't give you pain meds once you leave- that's good to know! I'm getting so excited!!!!

Hi all! I know this is an old thread, but I am having my sleeve done by Dr Fitzer in Reston, VA on September 18!

I am getting so nervous/anxious/excited! I hope we can all reach out to each other for support next month! I'd love to keep in touch and check in with each other!

Yaaaay! Find me on Instagram: virginiaisforsleevers so we can DM and chat! I can also keep checking on here- I would love to have someone to talk to the day before/of/after who is going through the same thing as me! So exciting!

Hi friends! I don't get on here as much as I should! There's so many of us September sleevers! im scheduled for my gastric sleeve on 9/18, a week after my birthday! If you have an Instagram, come find me so we can PM and chat! I would love some friends going through this at relatively the same time! instagram- virginiaisforsleevers *you should totally make a separate wls Instagram account!

Hi friends! I'm getting super excited to get sleeved in September! I just wanted to reach out and see if anyone wanted to be sleeve buddies? I don't know ANYONE who has had the surgery in my personal life- I plan on attending some local support groups here in Virginia, but would love a buddy from on here to chat with about your process. anyone like me? 230 lbs, 5'6", 30 year old, teacher turned stay at home mom. Getting sleeved September 18! Good luck everyone on your journey!

One week until surgery! How exciting!! You'll do great! Keep us informed on your journey! I still have 3 months to go!

Teachers turn stay at home moms are the BEST! so excited for you! I never want to wish time away, but I am impatiently waiting to be two months out! I know it's a big adjustment at first, but totally worth it! Congrats on your success!

36 is still early 30s! Haha good luck today on your surgery!!!! I'll be thinking about you today- let us know how it goes and how you're doing! You got this!!!

I've heard that the first couple weeks are the worst, but after that, life is good! Let me know how it's going! I love hearing other people's stories. It gets me so excited to start my own!
