rockssea 13 Posted September 26, 2013 I am also October 1st. I still can't believe I am doing this. My dr. Told me to try Pilates after I'm well enough to help with the skin. My all liquid diet starts Sunday. Is anyone else as nervous as I am? 1 NorCalGirl48 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

1gorgeousgodzilla 192 Posted September 26, 2013 Thank you I'm like in google overload looking up all kinds of videos on the sleeve I'm gonna just stop searching and relax my mind until the day comes I remember that feeling well! It seemed like I was cramming for a test or pop quiz trying to learn all I could about the sleeve, what to expect, ect. I know you will be fine because you came to the right place to learn (well here and youtube rather). Your day will be here before you know it! Best of luck to you! 1 NorCalGirl48 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
