Thank you for the support! Feeling some emotions today we had a garage sale so that was a project. Now tomorrow I start my 2 day liquids then surgery on Monday. I saw myself in a large mirror we were selling and got a real good look in the full blown daylight! And I know years of diets and struggles I'm ready to move forward! I appreciate the support from everyone who respond.:) i will continue to come to the forums for that added help and support from other experiences.

Thank you! Yes I agree she's probably gong to bring up her denial , but i can do one night Ha. I told my husband he better keep his mouth shut Ha It was bad timing for sure!

i haven't been on here in a few days, but the nerves are coming a llitte as the time approaches but, logging on and seeing more positive experiences and supportive thoughts I'm feeling better my husbands sister is flying in tonight for only one night with us.. I have not told her and not sure I will. She just got denied by her insurance. Plus I really don't want her hanging around the day of my surgery , she's flying back around that day she here to vist a girlfriend, only one day with us. Anyways, Thank you everyone for the support and encouragement!.

Wishing everyone a easy and successful surgery and recovery! Mine is coming up to on May 8th. Starting to mentally prepare. pre opt starts Sunday.

Ah thank you ! I'm feeling more positive about it with some support and hearing others experiences just what i needed I don't usually put my self out much in forums, but today i need some supportive feedback. Thanks again everyone!

Thank you everyone who took the time to reply I really appreciate the positive and honest comments. It's nice to see people that have had positive and happy results.

Well good luck to you!! Let me know how it goes and i will as well

Im scheduled for may 8th, I agree a little scared but ready for the new life style change not being over weight is going to be a wonderful step forward. Anyone here in the Denver area?

Hi , I'm wondering if theres anyone in the Denver area that is getting sleeved in May? Or has just had the surgery? i would like to connect? I'm set for May 7th. Thanks C

I'm starting to feel like I've told to many friends, some are supportive others don't know what to say as a lot of them like me have struggled with trying to lose weight all of our lives. For me it's been a year process so not easy breezy i have had many other medical surgeries for some other health issues in my life, so not my first one. I tried again in January another diet lose alittle but once again struggled with keeping up the diet. In the end it is for a persons over all wellbeing and getting healthier that's my goal . you want people to support you , but some just can't , as it brings up all their issues around their own weight struggles. I'm set for May 7th! And ready to move forward with a healthier and fresh new start heading into my 50s. Also ,I had the lap band over 15 years ago in Mexico so I'm used to the plan after surgery , I did not like the band and it slipped so it was removed 6 years ago. I'm happy that finally i can have the sleeve now and grateful for the chance to a new beginning. Good Luck to all! Theres a lot of very informative info from other members so thats great as I and others go through the process.

Hi I'm waiting for my insurance approval. I do eat fairly healthily now and take vitamins i was told no chewable vitamins after surgery for 3 months? I see they have patches here and dissolvable ones, anyone use those? And also many different food products with shakes ect. The problem is it seems like they are full of preservatives and other. Any suggestions from anyone here about more healthier protein shakes and ideas with non GMO post op food down the road? Thanks

Okay thanks great i will order some soon.

I'm waiting for the pr approval from the insurance part should take about 2 weeks or so then getting the surgery date scheduled. This post is uplifting! Glad I joined for info and future support
