Call Me Crazy...

...but I am so excited to start my pre-op "liver shrinking diet"! I found out less than 30 minutes ago that I am approved! I couldn't be happier right now. I was very successful with my Lap Band (until it failed), so I cannot wait to start my successful journey with my sleeve. Am I nervous? Yes, it's a big change. I'm voluntarily cutting off the majority of a major organ. Do I believe it's worth it? Absolutely. I need help on my weight loss journey and I am glad that I got the approval to get it. My surgery is scheduled for April 9th and I'm ready.

Hey there, my sleeve revision surgery is on April 9 too! I had my band out last November after 6 yrs in. I was also quite successful for a period of time till the band became unfriendly.

I am excited but also very nervous, like you said cutting off half a bodily organ isn't something to take on lightly. But no doubt the long term gain (pardon the pun) ...health gain will make it all worth it!! Good luck!

Good luck to you too, Midijola! I look forward to sharing out successes with one another.
