Hi Tammy. I am close about 5.5 months post-op. Excited and nervous is how I felt, too. Now I feel only excitement with each pound gone. Married over 10 years with a 5 year old daughter. I have also told very few people about my surgery. Only my hubby & a few family members.

Congrats on your upcoming surgery! Friend request sent.

Hi everyone!
I'm divorced, single, and at risk of turning into a crazy cat lady.

I just signed my papers for surgery on Monday and now I'm waiting for the call to let me know the date.
I should be happy and excited, but I'm more "meh, let's get 'er done". I've waited so long that now that it's here, I'm having a hard time with the reality of it. I'm sure once the actual day comes, I'll all of a sudden panic and shout 'Oh Cripes...this is REALLY happening!!"
I started this road 2 years ago, but got diagnosed with cancer halfway through. So we had to deal with the cancer beast and the weight loss thing was put on the back burner. But now, we're going full st4am ahead and I have to deal with both cancer and weight loss surgery, and there are risks, and I think I'm so overwhelmed, I just kinda shut down a bit.
So my mantra each day has been "Let's get 'er done".
Meaning 'Dear Lord...whatever I have to deal with today, let's deal with it and then put it behind us and move onto the next step"

My food diary is open. Feel free to lurk

Hi Tammy my name is Megan. I just had my surgery on 4/7. I told very few people about my surgery since most people just don't understand. My family tries to understand and I love them for that but I don't think they fully understand. I use my fitness pal and my hospital wls forum as my outside support system. If you need anything feel free to message me or view my diary... Best of luck!!!

I'm Michelle and I was sleeved on March 18th, so almost 4 weeks out. Glad to be on this board with others going through the same thing!

Had a sleeve done Dec. 30 last year - my diary is open too, feel free to take a look! Happy to add friends! BTW - was the best thing I've ever done! (I haven't told anyone other than my husband and VERY few family members either!)

Hi! I was sleeved on 1/27. I lost 10 pounds prior to surgery. Right now, I cannot work our because I have a partially torn Achiles tendon, but I still seem to be losing (YAY!). I love exercise and cannot wait to be able to get back at it! I count/log everything-- mostly because i want to know what works for me and what gets me off track. Happy to be here and happy to be sleeved!

Hi Tammy!

I was sleeved back on 29 Jan and I echo that so far its been an overall postive experience. In the past 3-4 weeks I have gotten into a good groove about calories and food choices. The greatest thing about losing almost 100(!) lbs is that I have gotten so much faster on my bike and no longer feel so self concious in my spandex. So far, most of my weight loss has been pre-surgery and post surgery has been VERY up and down. But I'm trying to enjoy the ride

Feel free to friend me, my diary is also open but I may not be the greatest example!

Hello all! Had my sleeve July 21, 2011, so coming up on the 3 year surgiversary. Started out with 226 to lose (386 at my biggest) and with slow weight loss (yes some of lose slower than others) and a couple of very long stalls, I still have 66 pounds to go to goal. My diary is open to my friends, so feel free to friend me if you want.

I am much older than you all, 58 this summer, married 40 years also this summer, 4 kids, 8 if you count their spouses which I do and 7 grandkids. I work in the coroporate office for a bank, almost 20 years now, but this is my 4th department.

Having the sleeve is one of the best things I've ever done for myself. It's given me the ability to be at a healthy weight for the first time since high school!

Congrats on your new surgeries and the upcoming ones as well! You all will do great!!

Hello All,
I was sleeved on April 9th so I am 2.5 weeks post-op and feeling pretty good other than get tired still a little quicker than before. My incisions have all healed amazingly and I do not think I am going to have any scars. I am struggling a bit with porting and getting enough because I really am not liking the shakes anymore. Seems I want to gag on them. So a few challenges but happy as heck that I did this. I am down 21 pounds from my surgery date 2,5 weeks ago.
Feel free to add me as friend....

Hi Y'all!!

I'm Vanessa and had my surgery on the 17th of April. So far, I'm making good progress and have found so many of your posts incredibly helpful as I muddle through this process.

My friends and family have been fantastic, but it's those who have had the surgery and their advise that has been so helpful!! Look forward to hearing from y'all and am happy to have some new friends who are going through this process, too!!

Cheers!!
Vanessa
