Also known as clothes that no longer fit. I'm excited and depressed at the same time. Why did I allow myself to get so unhealthy? I'm so glad I decided to get the sleeve. I was sleeved on 12/26 and have not looked back.

I am thankful for this forum. When I decided to get a lap band I read the forums and quickly decided that the sleeve was a better option I did not have insurance that would cover the surgery so I saved and took out a loan to cover the difference.

I hated the pre op diet but made my way through 2 weeks and lost 9 pounds total before surgery. It wasn't easy but I was determined. I told myself it was important to have a positive attitude so I did. I read the forums before surgery and knew what to do and what to expect.

I'm at 3 months out and have lost 54 pounds so far. I'm 4 pounds away from onederland I am looking better and feeling great. Good luck to all of you ready to start this journey I love my life and my sleeve

You know what's weird? Is I've cleaned out my closet several times..... And I have the piles of clothes sitting in my upstairs hall. I have not been able to get rid of them yet. My husband was like "umm Laura are you going to do something about these"

I think I'm having a hard time in believing that this is real and just might work!

I am going to get rid of them this week!

Way to go!! I actually put a Rubbermaid tote in my closet, if it is too big it goes in there and I make a goodwill trip once its full, it's a great feeling!!!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
