hklove 0 Posted November 24, 2012 I am going through my 6 month weigh ins... About 4 months in and It has flown by for the most part but then I come and check out the site and I feel like I am never going to get into surgery! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mokee 588 Posted November 24, 2012 Chat away. I am a woman and am just about ready for surgery. It is next Wednesday. Went through all the hoops. Took me 4 months to find a surgeon that I thought was experienced and then another 3 months to go through all the tests appointments. Then another 2 months to wait for surgery date. And finally it is here. If you have any questions please ask. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hklove 0 Posted November 24, 2012 I guess I'm lucky as far as it comes to the process. I've met my surgeon and really like him! It has been pretty easy and pretty fast. I am just ready for this change, i'm ready to star seeing results. I feel so lost, I have gained so much weight I don't even recognize myself! I'm recently single after 5 years and I am afraid to visit with old friends (guys and girls) because of the weight gain! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ByeByefatgirl. 82 Posted November 24, 2012 Wow, that's great! Who is your doctor? I wish I could afford to just do that. I'd rather than go through the waiting game. I'm going with Dr alejandro lopez. And I still have to wait because I don't have the money yet, but if I did I would've been there like yesterday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sherbert5 15 Posted November 25, 2012 Hi all. I'm 31 and suffer from cervical stenosis and pcos that causes my infertility. I have been doing infertility treatments for the past two years that have made me gain massive amounts of weight due to meds/injections and depression from all the failed attempts. I had my fist consult nov 13 and I decided on the sleeve as my procedure. I have to wait 3 months to complete all the insurance pre requisites n will schedule surgery march/April 2013. So excited. My game plan is to start back on birth control this month because it helps decrease the presence of cysts due to pcos and hopefully will help with the weight loss process. I would like to be healthy. I have no goal weight in mind. My goal is whatever I lose in 18 months following the surgery and that is when I will try to have a baby again. I am risking time waiting but I believe if I got pregnent at the weight I am now I would n the baby would suffer. I am willing to take the risk. Current bmi 41 Current weight 250 Height 5'5" Jeans sz 20 ????Cheri???? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hklove 0 Posted November 25, 2012 Yes I have a two year old boy. He is my motivation! I feel like I have been overweight my entire life and haven't been able to fix it when I got older because I never learned how to eat properly. I played sports through my teen years, and then gained all the weight when I stopped. My bmi is 44 i think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
