Being Sleeved in June 2010!!

[LaChica707 0]

Hi Everyone,

I'm new to this forum. I was originally suppose to get the Lapband but for awhile my heart wasn't in it.. just due to the fact of having a "port" I didn't want it.

Anyways.. my final decision is the VSG!!! my surgery date is Scheduled for June 16th which is in exactly 3 weeks.. i'm excited and nervous!!

My highest weight was between 220-235 That was about 2 years ago.. I didn't decide to have the surgery until about a year ago..

of course I had to lose weight to have this surgery(KAISER PERMANENTE RULES) and soo now i'm down to 187 it fluctuates between that and 190..

Well if anyone has any good advice.. please share!!:wink0:

CONGRADS!! I'm so happy for you! I know you will absolutly love it.

Only advice is get with a support group that meets up. Most of this is all mental and if you can get past that and work along with your sleeve your set for life!

Again sooo happy for you. Make sure to keep everyone posted with your journey to a new happy and wonderful life!

Congrats on your date! I really don't have any advice because I am relatively new myself and have a date of 6/30 but from my experience everyone here is very supportive and knowledgeable. Good luck and can't wait to hear of your success! :biggrin0:

Hi Lootzie,

Nice to meet you! I bet we will run into each other as we walk the halls... are you staying at the Kabuki Hotel by any chance?

My surgery is at 7am, when is yours?

I can't wait to have this all over with...

I have not been able to control my eating lately and have gained a few pounds... hoping Dr. Jossart will not be too upset with me.
