xxjosettexx 72 Posted June 11, 2015 (edited) Hi, just thought I'd give a little introduction, as I've really enjoyed reading about everyone's successes here! My name is Josette, I'm 19 and from Oregon. I am set to have my sleeve done on the 23rd of June, 2015 in Coos Bay. I am on my second day of liquids! This won't be my first weight loss surgery, I had a band placed in 2013 in Mexico by Dr Ortiz, that had to be removed September 2014 in the states due to complications. Looking back I should have saved up and gotten the sleeve the first time, but I'm so excited to start my journey now; and I cannot wait to see all of your wonderful progress here! (: Here are my numbers: Hw: 350 Cw: 344 Sw: ? Gw: 160 Edited June 11, 2015 by xxjosettexx Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AngelJoyD 7 Posted June 14, 2015 I'm June 23, too. I'm having some anxiety attacks (mostly because I'm feeling so yucky on the pre-op diet and am worried about post-op functioning at work), but I'm trying to stay focused on the long-term goal! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
