    October 2018 Sleevers

    Congrats on the move up! I’m also Oct 1!!
  3. Ah sorry ummyasmin! Can’t you get them shipped to you from amazon or something?
  4. Just tried the Syntax Nectar protein powder for their caramel macchiato and it tasted amazing! Just like coffee!! Highly recommend for anyone trying to find protein shakes they like.

    Any shorties out there under 200lbs

    I’m getting the sleeve 10/1. Starting at 255 and I’m 5’0. Your success makes me hopeful!!
  6. Hey everyone! I finally got my dad to relax and my surgery is staying Oct 1!!! I will stay with him a night or two but only because his wife is insisting lol I told them I’d be fine at home but they don’t believe me. New issue :( My aunt who I’m very close to sat me down last night and said I’m making a huge mistake. Apparently trying to lose weight since I was a kid means I haven’t REALLY tried hard enough. I’ve been the same weight for years no matter what I try. Maybe I haven’t been strict enough with my diet and exercise but I feel that a lot of us have that issue and that’s why we need the extra push. She then went on to say that NO ONE keeps the weight off more than a couple years and I’ll be even more upset when I gain it back. I’m just so discouraged right now. My dad and two of his co workers had the sleeve about 7 years ago and they did gain back a lot.. but they aren’t me. I’m just a nervous wreck now. Thanks for listening :)
  7. Having a dilemma that I hope you guys can help with. I’m currently scheduled for Oct 1 (yay!) last night my dad (who had a sleeve in 2011) called me and asked me to wait until after the new year... I’m so bummed. I wanted to have lost a good amount by then to start the new year off with a bang. His reasoning is that I’ll have to stay with him for a couple days post surgery (I live alone and he thinks I’ll need help — not sure on that one either) and he’s not ready. My brother is getting married the 22nd of Sept so it’s one thing after another. I told him I could see about moving the surgery a week or two but I really do not want to wait until next year. What do you all think? Am I being selfish? He admits to being selfish about this but I’m so ready and looking forward to my date.. it’s been a good year in the making! What would you do?
  8. Oh gosh. They wanted to do that to me once and I declined lol. I’m sure it won’t be THAT bad :)
  9. What is a ABG?? I did the barium swallow test thing and it wasn’t bad at all
  10. Yeah it’s normal but still sucks! I actually had the band in 2012 and removed in 2015.. major problems. I just hope this one works better for me!! So glad I have this group to keep in touch with :) I bought a nectar sample pack — 17 flavors! They are by syntax and sound awesome.. I need to start trying.
  11. I was on zulily, which is very affordable, looking at some cute fall/winter clothes. Sleeve is scheduled for Oct 1 and I’m a 2-3x now so I bought a 1x.. hope I can wear them this coming season!

    October sleeve

    I'm set for October 1st... freaking out a bit today but I have GAD so it's not unusual for me. I'm just worried I won't lose the weight or I'll be miserable or IDK I just am a worried wreck. Nice to have others to talk to that are going through the same thing!!
  13. Got my approval last week -- October 1st is my surgery date and I'm a nervous wreck lol
