ChrisJ 44 Posted November 3, 2012 I'm hoping and praying for a December date! Insurance requirements sure can be a headache. I totally understand. I did the 6 month "weight management" routine. I actually started the journey last January but found out that surgeon had only done 5 sleeves. Had to start all over with a new surgeon, new testing and new insurance requirements. I hope you can have a December surgery too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheCurvyJones 721 Posted November 3, 2012 Can't stop thinking about it.. planning... dreaming. Started a couple of projects to distract myself. Trying not to get ahead of the process. Today I thought about tossing all my big fat clothes, then laughed... uh... what am I supposed to wear for the next 48 days?! 2 Raven21 and mariamitani reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChrisJ 44 Posted November 4, 2012 CurvyJ, I thought about doing the same clothing purge and I figured out a way not to end up naked. Bag up only the summer clothes! (this only works if you live in a cold state) All my crop and knee length pants, into the bag! Felt SO good!!! 3 TheCurvyJones, Raven21 and BabyHuey reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lilymay 5 Posted November 4, 2012 Good morning all... 1 year ago I was just like you all!!! I had my surgery dec 8th 2011. My start weight was 327, the day of surgery I was 294. Today I am 178!!! It is truly amazing. Advice for you... Take a picture of yourself the night before surgery or the day of. Because in a years time... You will not believe the difference! It is truly a transformation!!! Good luck, I wish you all the best! 2 BabyHuey and Raven21 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChrisJ 44 Posted November 4, 2012 Lillymay, OMG! You look like a totally different person. I have let people take pictures of me this year (never in the past) so I have some to compare. Do you feel like your new picture or are you still shocked? 1 Lilymay reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BabyHuey 44 Posted November 4, 2012 I started going to the Thrift Stores in my area this weekend. They are 50% off certain colored tags on Saturday and Sunday. I picked up a few things that were just a size or two smaller that I couldn't wait to slide into... And I figure, what harm could it do? I've paid MAYBE 20, and I got about 7 really cute shirts! Some with the tags still on them. :-) 1 Raven21 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
