Kirasoma, I am very sad to hear your story. I hope you have good news from your Dr. and will be waiting for an update. Good Luck!

Good Luck! You will be fine. Looking forward to hearing all about your journey.

OK people, who is going to be sleeved in October? I will start. My name is Judy and I am a foodacholic. I will be sleeved by Dr. Aceves in Mexico on Oct. 1st 2009. :thumbup:

Congrats. on your date. It won't be much longer now. Looking forward to hearing all about your journey.

Wishing you the best in your journey. I know it is hard waiting on insurance companies. Just hang in there and hopefully you will have good news soon. I'm looking forward to keeping up with your journey.

Thank you so much for updating us on your journey. Congrats. on your way to freedom. I know what you mean about this turn around. I feel lighter just getting rid of the burden of wanting to eat all the time.

Congrats. to you. I'm really happy for you.

Congrats. to you both. I know how exciting that is. I have 26 lbs. to go to reach onederland. My goal is to reach it by Christmas.

My cousin had to have his stomach removed due to cancer. He was mid 40's. That was over 10 years ago. He is as healthy as a horse, looks great, full of energy and enjoys life to the fullest.

I am so glad to hear that you are doing ok. The fresh air will do you good. I love to sit out in the warm sun. Within a few days you will be feeling so good and will know that it has been so worth it.

Oh Samantha, I am so sorry for what you have been through. Please keep us updated on your progress and I hope you get well soon.

Congrats. on your sleeve. You are going to like it even more as you see the scales go down.

Hi Dancer, I am 12 days out and I am returning to work tomorrow. I feel full of energy and am not tired at all. You should be fine after 2 weeks.

Congrats on your decision. You will be fine. I had my surgery 12 days ago. I already feel better than I have in years. You are gonna love your sleeve.

Good luck in your new journey. I'm thankful that you and your husband were not injured in the accident. You surgery team sounds very caring to take such good care of you after what happened.

My pain was not bad at all. I was afraid of what it was going to be like because of the left shoulder. I have problems with that shoulder and have had to get cortizone(sp) injections in it. I was very suprised at the small amount of pain that I had. The worse thing for me was the nausea on the second day and I recieved IV meds for that. It was gone the third day.

Alex, Hope you have a great birthday today. Do you have anything special planned? Do something fun!:001_smile:

Thank you so much Mountain for your kind words of encouragement. I'm feeling great and ready to go back to work on Tuesday. I have lost a total of 19 lbs. now and I'm working on a scrapbook/weightloss journal with all the pictures from Mexico. This is helping me to see my journey in a very positive way. Maybe someday it might help someone else. I'm enjoying the cleaning. I feel like it is helping me declutter my house and myself to start a new and positive life. I want to be able to invite friends over more often and focus more on that than sitting around wondering what I'm gonna eat next. LOL Good luck on your journey too.

All I have wanted to do since surgery is clean. I have cleaned 4 rooms from top to bottom and taken 7 boxes of odds and ends of stuff to the donation center. My husband wants to know what I am going to do after I get all the rooms cleaned? LOL

Cajun, you are right. I got my papers back out and I don't see anywhere about when we can have fruit. I will e-mail Gabby tomorrow.

Hi Jade and welcome to the VST family forum. You are gonna love it here. Congrats on your date and please keep us informed of your progress.

Good luck tomorrow Ivy. Just go slow and easy. I have a watermelon just calling my name. I think I might just make a smoothie first. I am a little afraid of something getting stuck.
