2bsmallagain 156 Posted March 29, 2012 Hey y'all! I'm flying out Easter and having surgery on Monday the 9th. Garcia/Marriott. Steffi :-) I got your message. I will call you back in a couple days lol. I have a sever cold and have lost my voice at the moment. So hopefully I can get it back. I would love to talk you about the surgery. I am so excited but so nervous. I also am a little scared lol. I am so tired of waiting but I have classes until the end of April. Also I saw you only had to clear liquids for 3 days? I have to do a certain diet for 14 days before including Protein Shakes and high Protein food then clear liquids for 3 days. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ibthin 3 Posted April 27, 2012 Ok so I am new to the forum, and have been stalking you guys for a while...lol ! I am excited and nervous to take the leap into surgery. I have contacted Dr's and have all of the financial end squared away, but I am scared to make the final call to schedule the appointment. I know that you were all probably the same way at first also....right? Here are my issues, I am not a high BMI, actually a 31, and peolpe always say that I don't look like I weigh 200lbs. But I have struggled with my weight for the past 10 years, and I think that my body has set this "limit" on my weight loss. I would rather do the surgery and be able to enjoy the rest of my life, than try every fad diet that comes along whlie I'm trying to tell myself that I'm happy. I know that I'm generally healthy, I have never had any medical issues, and besides having my son 7 years ago, I have never had to go to the hospital. So I'm here watching all of your amazing success stories and getting the nerve to be amongst the losers, forever! Thanks for listening to me ramble, but I needed to vent and I haven't told anybody else my plans...til now Jaime Im having my surgery on April 30th as well! I was so glad to see your post as my weight is also the same as yours. I do have Diabetes and High blood pressure which is the reason I decided to go for the sleeve. I will be so excited not to have to be on meds anymore AND be skinny! I wish you the best on Monday! How are you doing with your liquids? Ive just started mine today and so far Im 16 oz from reaching my 64oz goal. Feeling a little hungry but not real bad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Finding Myself 146 Posted April 27, 2012 I'm glad to read this too. People always tell me I carry my weight well!!! I am 60 lbs overweight and have been for YEARS! I am actually healthy as a horse other than that, and I know if I don't get control on this overeating problem, it WILL lead to poor health down the road.... Then I'll be 50 and trying to do this instead of 42. Jaime, PM me!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
