hello fellow sleevers....guess what???yup ill be getting my sleeve on nov 8th' date=' im so excited and nervous of course. anyone else getting sleeved on the 8th also? i really hope this surgery works well for me and that i'll be a success story like all of you. I'm so thankful to have this forum of people that understand and dont think im crazy or say things like you dont need surgery because your "not that fat"..lol how many of us have heard that..yes im alittle lower on the bmi than most but i have a few , yes a few co morbidities and my pcp totally thinks i need the surgery from a medical standpoint which is why im doing it...my mom grabbed my stomach and said "uh you need to go put your Spanx on before you leave" then later that night she said "your not that fat why do you need surgery"..ughhh she can really piss me off..so anyone about to be sleeved come on here and tell me your story and what is going thru your mind and the emotion you feel...just tell me everything ...[/quote']

I have mine on November 18. What got me qualified was the sleep apnea.

I get the “you’re not fat” comments too.

"Um, I’m shopping in the Women’s department and I had to get my wedding dress from the onestopplus website, HEEEELLLLOOOOO?!?"

I tried to keep it a secret at work, except for telling one person who has already had the sleeve surgery done. But I forgot what a big mouth she had, and all the naysayers came out of the woodwork. Well, only a couple, maybe. All the rest were really supportive and I found that quite a few people at work have had bariatric surgery (but they told the boss they were taking leave due to “abdominal issues”.)

i know...its so annoying right????people just need to mind their own damn business...crazy skinny people to to eat so their brains get nourishment..lol

I'm only about 60 miles from Boonville. I don't have a date yet, my 3 month thing for insurance ends on December 3rd, and I'm really hoping for an end of Dec/Jan date. Do you have a date yet? Which doc are you seeing in Mexico? What are you freaked out about? You can private message me if you have any questions, I'm so ready for this surgery I can teach a class about it!

i totally get that..its like when people say "your face is so pretty" or "your not as big as you think you are"....im 5'3 214 so were both considered low bmi but with my co-morbities and back issues i know this surgery is right for me . i appreciate that people are trying to be sweet but they really dont understand that their compliments don't really help us feel better, usually worse.
