Let's do this

[JeezLouise91 55]

OK so if my name looks familiar to any of you, you may remember me as the indecisive, anxious all over the place girl who asked 1000s of questions and really wasn't sure whether to get the sleeve or not

After re-reading through all your advice and doing more searches I've decided to stop being such a wuss and JUST GO FOR It.

This is my little thank you post to you all as I don't think without this community I would of decided to do this.

My surgery date was moved and is now January 17th. Now that I've decided to do it the nerves have got a little worse, but one thing that's changed is for the first time in a long time I'm actually excited. Now I can look at all these inspirational photos and say "that'll be me soon!"

I've decided to make an Instagram account (jeez_sleevedlouise) especially for my journey and even posted a cheeky vlog which is not like me! But then again getting a major surgery isn't like me either lol.

Thanks guys once again and glad to finally feel like part of this with all of you!

Much love xxx

Congrats! I am just starting the process and my insurance requires a 3 month diet before approval, so I am looking at April. I teach seniors too, so I may just end up waiting until summer break and graduation. I am 238 and my goal weight is 140-150. The lowest I ever got to was 170 and I was pretty happy with my shape, so I think 150 would be good.

My goal now for the next few months is to maintain my weight and really shift my focus to heavy lifting. I know I will be out of commission from the weight room for a bit after the sleeve, so I want to work as hard as I can now. (My insurance will deny you if you gain a single pound during the 3 month diet, and will deny you if you lose too much. I am have anxiety about the diet and weigh ins than the actual surgery).

You're the exact same weight as me then! How tall are you if you don't mind me asking? I hope my goal of 130 isn't too much. I am only 5"2 so should be fine. Yeah I'm on the diet myself. I haven't been doing too great if I'm honest but hopefully they will still be alright with doing it. April is still not all that far away! I get butterflies everytime I think of my date. Good ones I think lol. Congrats to you too for deciding to get the surgery. We will do great! Xx

I was so nervous too my surgery was Tuesday and everything went completely normal me and my mom actually did the surgery together but she had a bypass. I became less nervous about a week out and was just ready to get it going. Congratulations on the big decision!
