cmeless 11 Posted April 17, 2012 My name is Hutch - I have a tentative date of May 9th with Dr Aceeves in Mexi -Cali I am a truck driver and struggle with weight loss so I have made the decision to be sleeved. I am nervous but not scared. I have been 100 lbs overweight for the last 10 years and I have tried every diet imaginable - and they work for a minute and then fail. I have no one to blame but myself. I have diabetes, sleep apnea, asthma and planter faciatias in my feet which causes me alot of pain. I hope and pray that after the surgery with time these conditions that I mention will go away. I recently got married to a beautiful woman that was sleeved in Janurary,2010- and when she said that I needed to get a passport I thought she was excited about going on vacation but little did I know she had other plans - I am happy though because I feel that this is the best decision for me and for us to live a long and healthy life together. If you all will join me in my upcoming journey I would greatly appreciate all of ur help and support. Thank you and God bless, Hutch 1 jthurman reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NancyJerry 139 Posted April 17, 2012 Hi Hutch! You've come to a good place. Sounds like you and your bride are very lucky to have one another. I am about 3 weeks post op and already I've noticed a HUGE difference with my feet pain/heel spurs. Good luck to you! Keep us posted! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
smileen 17 Posted April 17, 2012 I am a little over 12 weeks I had type 2 diabeties bout 15 yrs. the day I left the hospital was the last day I took any pills or insulin. I had lab work last week and my blood sugar was 114. My high blood pressure is also better controlled so for me the reason for the surgery is done! The weight loss is a double bonus!! Good luck to you! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jeni Martin 26 Posted April 18, 2012 Had my surgery one month ago yesterday. And today I walked over 1/2 mile. It has been MANY years since I could walk that far! I was just barely out of breath and not hurting like I usually am at less than one tenth of a mile! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Candyman 38 Posted April 20, 2012 Hi Hutch, I noticed your pic, I have the same one on another sit. I'm a truck driver too. I was scheduled for the end of the year but decided on June after my sons wedding. We both know first hand all the changes that are happening in are industry. If we don't get a handle on our health we'll be out of a job. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
