Jeanie S 84 Posted July 2, 2013 Hi everyone I just had a consultation on June 12th and I am scheduled to get sleeved on Aug 8th already! I guess I'm scared because it's happening so fast ! I have a whole host of medical problems and just hope and pray for a better quality of life 4 Shela_bees, Brenda0928, RAAinNH and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shewolf143 57 Posted July 2, 2013 You are doing the right thing. Mine happened fairly quickly also but I was glad. I am very pleased with my results so far. I feel like I finally have a handle on my binge eating disorder for the 1st time. I just got back from a cruise & actually lost 4 lbs! I feel better mentally, emotionally & physically. It was the best choice I have ever made in my entire life! I wasn't scared or worried at all about the surgery. You will have this feeling too. 3 Jeanie S, mandynichole and Brenda0928 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jeanie S 84 Posted July 2, 2013 Thank you for the pep talk. That was kind of you. I guess the quicker the better. I just wish my family was more on board with this decision! 2 Brenda0928 and mandynichole reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flyme_places 99 Posted July 3, 2013 I was hoping to have my surgery around that time but since my surgeon is in vacation I'll be having it in the 19th of July. 3 Jeanie S, Brenda0928 and mandynichole reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Uk.honey 18 Posted July 4, 2013 Hi Hun , it does all seem to go fast but it is worth it in the end. I was sleeved on 16th of may this year and I'm down from 275lbs (pre op diet) to 218lbs! It is such an eye opening journey that will bring out millions of emotions ( mine was head ????) it's so hard at times but everything u experience solves itself ( the head hunger solved itself when I went on pureed foods) good luck on ur journey, ur going to do amazing xxxx 3 Brenda0928, mandynichole and Jeanie S reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

penman53 493 Posted July 10, 2013 Don't worry sweetie, your doing the right thing and I too thought that my surgery would never happen but guess what? My surgery is July 24th. After going to my final nutritionist briefing and seeing all the folks that would be there with me (the class was full of people with the same surgery date) I and my wife felt much better. We will all be thinking of you and wishing you the best. Follow your doctors orders follow the prep to the letter and everything will be fine. You a beautiful women and just think how great it will be to be at your goal weight and buying new clothes to show off your new figure. Good luck 2 Jeanie S and Brenda0928 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Uk.honey 18 Posted July 11, 2013 Shela don't worry! It can be very nerve wracking, but once all the surgery and adjusting to a new way of life is done, you will realise it was all worth it x I'm currently rocking a brand new pair of shorts! ( I've never wore shorts before) I'm down 4 dress sizes and loving it!!!!! ???? 2 Brenda0928 and Jeanie S reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
