May 2013 Sleevers!

[misslady 130]

I just found out today that I was approved. I'm not sure my date yet' date=' but either later April or early May. I want to get to the loser side.

I've lost 35 (+/- 2 pounds) over the last 4 months. I've eliminated soda, Pasta and breads from my diet and that has really helped out. I eat Protein every meal and really just think about what I'm eating before i eat it. I've binged and been bad, then I just make up for it on the flip side. I had been getting up a 5am 3-4 times a week to exercise but I've been lazy the past two weeks. I got back on the horse today and now that I'm approved I want to lose more before I have to go back and see my surgeon again.[/quote']

Wow if you are this disciplined all ready you should be a great sleeve loser. Way to go. I am 50 days away, counting it down like a kid waiting for Christmas.

I am scheduled for May 6...currently I am 270 and my personal goal is 150...I am always amazed at the different pre-op protocol among surgeons...I am self-pay so I had no insurance requirements, and my dr does not require any kind of pre-op diet other than the day before surgery (clear liquids after light breakfast)...I am very nervous about the surgery and living with the sleeve, so I welcome all the support I can get

I am getting sleeved on May 16th. I am 5'6" 263 pounds. I am 32 and just tired of this battle. My husband is wonderful and supportive. Others think its a bit extreme ...but at the end of the day they don't matter. My health does!! I was first going for the Lap-band. Then I found out at my seminar that the failure rate for it was 4 out of 10. So I opted for the sleeve. I am excited and scared all at once! I just met my surgeon April 8th got my surgery date on April 11th. Brigham and Woman's hospital in Boston MA. I still have to meet with my nutritionist on April 18th. So I have began trying out Protein Shakes, trying to eat just one light meal a day, lots of Water and walking. Doc asked me to lose 10 to 15 pounds before surgery. I must say this process has gone much faster then I expected. But I am happy!!
