Hey...Another November Sleeve Sister! Welcome Sugar Tee. How are you feeling leading up to your surgery date? Me: Nervous as hell. I just found out I have to travel the week of my surgery, so I will literally be running from the airport to the hospital. My mother suggested I reschedule. I said hell to the naw I'm am NOT rescheduling lol

Hello Everyone.

I just had my 2nd Appointment yesterday in Hamilton, New Jersey with

Dr. Yelizaveta Lisa Dobruskin.

My surgery will be in January, 2013.

www.jerseybariatrics.com

I just wanted to introduce myself and hopefully run a diary of happenings during this WLS Journey. I anderstand it will be a life time commitment.

My stats:

I am 40+, African American / Black,

4'11 and 225lbs. Mother of two and recently divorced.

I am not sure if stats are used in terms of comparisons of progress but I will try to remember that my progress is mine alone. I will be successful in this journey. I will try to stay positive. I will hopefully have no regrets and very little to no complications.

The Serenity Prayer is a good inserted here:

Lord grant me the Serenity to accept the things I cannot change;

To change the things I can;

and the Wisdom to know the difference.

--Ah!men--

Woot- Hoot for the January 2013 starters!!!

With Stuffed animal is 10yrs ago right after divorce..at 175lbs..and the other in August, 2012. +++50lbs later. When I got married I weighed 151 pounds.

No, don't reschedule go ahead with the plan!!! We have to keep in touch and root each other on to the Losers Bench and then to Onederland!!! Be Blessed my sister!!! Looking Forward to My New Journey!!!

Hello Ladies, congrats to all the newly sleeved, and the up and comers. My date was, Sep 4th 2012 in Texas......... My S.W was 359 my date of surg was 331 and today I'm 272 and feeling blessed. The lifestyle change was at first a lil rough, but after a few trial and errors, I found what works for me. So with that said l say.....keep your head up, stay prayed up, give the carbs up, and keep your cardio up.
