mattuti86 23 Posted December 26, 2012 Hello! This is my first post, I'm getting sleeved on thu in Tijuana. I'm really nervous but also excited. I've had butterflies in my stomach for days. I can't wait to be on the other side of this. I'm 26 and in the last 4-5 years I've gone up to 360 lbs, I remember when I was 180 in high school and thinking I'm never going to let myself get to 200 and now I'm heavier than ever. I'd considered getting surgery for a couple of years but never really looked into it, but seeing my friend go through with it and seeing how awesome she looks and feels about her self, i decided it was time! I've been reading around this forum for a couple of months and I'm so glad i found it! It's great to be able to read so much experiences and info on this. I'm looking forward to be able to share all my accomplishments and read about all of yours. I don't know how to close this so I'll just say, i can't wait! lol thanks for taking the time to read my post, i will write again as soon as i can after surgery. Happy holidays to all!

mattuti86 23 Posted December 28, 2012 Thanks, surgery went well for me, but of course ive been feeling crappy all day lol it's all worth it! On a side note, i was nervous about how i was going to act while waking up and when they brought me back to my room i kept telling my mom i hated every fast food place i could think of lol 1 Pepper Paul reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daisy65 13 Posted December 29, 2012 Things went well! Staying here another night to get some extra rest. Feeling pretty good, except lots of hiccups. Doesn't feel so good. Looking forward to go home and see my husband and my 18 mo old son. Passed the leak test, so I am hoping to not have any side effects! Hope you're all recovering well. We made it! 1 Pepper Paul reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
