January 2015 Sleevers! ????????

[KSTUZ 438]

Hi All,

Im still awaiting my exact day but it will be in January. Hoping the end of it, as Im still so nervous and scared.

Im in England, UK so things here a bit different. No medical insurance but the Nhs (national health service)

Its been a year since I was referred by my physician. Since that time I was put on a diet programme and have lost 60lbs.

Im turning 29 on dec 18th.

My highest weight 322 lbs

My current weight 246 lbs

Hoping to lose a bit more before January so need to be strict over christmas.

Going home to visit family in Wales UK and they tend to be feeders!.. So Im not hopeful on a loss.

I have two young boys 2 and 6 and leaving them while in hospital and the surgery risk itself is terrifying me! Purely because of my boys.

My husband is a general practitioner and great at his job, but seriously lacks on the home skills and kids department.

Keep thinking, how will he cope! How will the kids cope!

Because of this feeling I can not get excited about this life changing surgery that most of you are feeling.

I need encouragement that everything will be ok. Im not planning on telling my family who live very far away.

Their worrying and negativity will make me cancel everything!

Your husband will cope, UR kids will cope!!

A friend of mine had the sleeve Monday August 11th and visited us at work and looked GREAT by Friday August 15th!!

She had 3 rough days but she said it wasnt as bad as she thought.

So everyone will survive and U will be on a way to a healthier more active and happier YOU!!

Don't give up! I'm here anytime!!

Stay strong! ????
