I'm getting sleeved today!!!!

[KathyM 14]

Hi everyone!

I'm sitting in the Denver airport waiting for my connecting flight to California and then it's over the border I go!! I should arrive in Cali shortly after noon and then am being sleeved later this afternoon. Yesterday I was scared, nervous and excited and today I am just happy. This marks such a HUGE turning point in my life. (stop reading now if you dont want drama lol) I am at a crossroads in my life - My marriage of 23 years just ended, my kids are both off to college, I have a great career and a great job. All the doors are open to me, I can do anything I want and go anywhere I want. This is my first step in putting myself first, and let me tell you it has been no easy task. I am looking ahead to the future and I can honestly say that I am excited to see what it brings - I can't wait to have a healthy body that matches my mind. Today is the start of the new me!!

Thanks for all of the awesome messages I have received from everyone - it has made my decision to do this sooooo much easier. I will post more as soon as I am done and feel well enough to do it.

Best of luck, Kathy! I'm here in Mexicali waiting my turn (LaSa is next, I believe), and just as happy with my decision as you are.

Get sleeved, heal up and then head out there and conquer the world!

Take care, keep us posted.

Best of luck to all of you having surgery today!

Good luck in life Kathy, I know when my first marriage ended it was a very sad time, but there was also a great sense relief. Recovery and post surgery weightloss will be a great time to relearn how to be YOU again (hope that makes sense). Best of luck.

Oh Kathy, I was in your place just two weeks ago! I'm praying that you do just as well or better than I and that you have a safe trip home. You're in the best possible hands

It's been two days, hopefully you've moved over to the "recovery house". I'm on my way to San Diego tomorrow and I'll have mine on monday.
