Nikkidoodlebug 120 Posted January 17, 2015 I am ready too!! My mother had the lap- band done 7 years ago and I really thought that's what I was going to do( when I could come up with the money) but a year ago I started saving and discovered that the sleeve was the one and only for me! So here we go........ I live in south texas almost to huntsville texas but I am having my surgery done in Dallas tx. Can't wait!!!!! Yeyyyyyyyyyyy!!!! Keep in touch and we can be a support team!

newtree 8 Posted January 18, 2015 I have considered them all for years, but money and fear I think kept me from moving forward. I really think the sleeve is the best way to go! Yes, lets keep in touch! Excited to have a "date" buddy! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nikkidoodlebug 120 Posted January 18, 2015 Money and only money has been my hold up! So this year I decided that........every year I spend my income tax on everyone else and everything else, that it's my turn and I'm spending it on me! So that's why I've had to wait so long, Plus I had to save the rest of the money. I will be paying it in-full the first week in February !!!!! Can't wait!!! Yeyyyyy!!!!!!

newtree 8 Posted January 29, 2015 I had my EDG done yesterday. The only thing she found was a small hernia and she will be able to fix that when she does surgery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kdt23 5 Posted February 22, 2015 Hi! We are all surgery buddies! Mine is March 11th too! I'm from Tucson, AZ. It's supposed to be chilly out here but it's been pretty hot lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
newtree 8 Posted February 23, 2015 AWESOME!!!! We are all going to be sleeve sisters!!! The weather here in KS has been crazy... one day super nice the next day snow! never know what you are going to get! Have you started your pre op yet kdt23? What about you Nikkidoodlebug, have you started your pre op yet? I have to do a 4 week preop and it has been really hard! BUT I have lost 12 lbs so far in the two weeks I have been on it, so that is nice.. but I sure do miss chewing! (I do get to eat a little bit for dinner but only a little bit) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kdt23 5 Posted February 26, 2015 I actually just started yesterday! I'm doing okay right now but I have a feeling that it's going to get a lot harder! Wow a 4 week pre-op! Was that really hard the first few days? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
