I hope he comes to his senses soon and stops acting like that. I am sure he is worried about you losing all the weight and getting more attention. I hope everything works out. Hugs. Try to focus on healing. We are here for you!

Welcome! So glad you are here and that you are having the sleeve! Congrats!!!

Love ya Tiff! You have given me so much hope when I was down about my failed band. I was so scared of having another weight loss surgery until I read about your journey. Thanks for helping me decide on the sleeve. You mean so much to all of us~

That is such great new! Especially since I am a teacher, too. I am pretty impressed on you only taking off a week. You will have to let me know how you feel when you get back to the classroom. I am so glad you are feeling so great! That is amazing.

Congrats! I am so happy for you. It is so neat when your dream of getting surgery becomes a reality!

You can do it! I had lapband surgery three and a half years ago. Although they are not exactly the same, they are similair. I was fine within three days. There is only a small time for recovery and then you have the rest of your life to get well and finally be happy. I am having a revision surgery and I have three kids. I know it will be hard, especially with Christmas five days after my surgery, but I know this is the right decision for myself and my health. Just think of what got you here before you back out. Good luck with your decision! Hugs!

I go from being nervous to totally excited. I can't believe the time is almost here. Good luck everyone. Can't wait to see what 2011 brings for us! I wonder how we will feel a year from now...hopefully we will have all new wardrobes!

Keep it up!!!! Awesome!!!

Way to go!!!

Good luck! You will do fantastic...keep us posted! : )

Welcome to the forum! Congrats on your weight loss so far...here hoping for lots more!

That is so great!!!

Does anyone know where you go to make changes to the biography section? I can't seem to figure it out. Thanks!

I was just wondering....which pain was worse? Lap-band or the revision surgery? Or were they both about the same? Also, is there lots of pain where the port was? Just a few questions I had as I count down the days until I have this ridiculous band out! Just for kicks, I would like to add that I have not had restriction for months and then today, out of nowhere, I start slimming! Really??? LOL

Wow on the 100 pounds! Thanks for being so honest about the holiday eating. It is something I fear after surgery. It is good to be prepared and know that it is does take hard work to get to your goals.

I am so worried about a drain too. I see my doctor again Friday and that is a top question on the list!

You are going to do fine...I know it. I will be praying for you tomorrow morning. It is so great to see so many Houston peeps. We need to get a group going for sure. Hugs and no worries....just think of the new you that is waiting to come out!

I am so happy for you! Congrats on your sleeve and I wish you a speedy recovery. Hugs!

So glad you are sleeved! That is awesome---Hope you have a speedy recovery!!!

I did have my first surgery in Monterrey, but I now have insurance coverage. I thankfully found a doctor that would take me and revise my band to the sleeve- Dr. Nowzaradan in Houston, TX. I really like him and he has lots of experience with revisions.
