So here I am finally got my sleeve five days ago.  I must say I feel so blessed! I truly believe in God and I know he has a plan for each and everyone of us.  So many things happened during this time, including the loss of my dear father who I miss so much.

I am humbled and greatful to all who have loved me and supported me on my decision to have this surgery.  After waiting five years it finally happened. I feel good no problems after surgery, no complications during or after.  I have been able to drink with no problems I am currently on full liquids and will be til the 8th of this month. I will continue to post my progress as time goes by.

So here I am December 2011 and no surgery   A year ago they were running the tests to get me ready when they found out that there was something wrong with my heart.  They did a heart catherization and thank God I was ok NO BLOCKAGE!! So now after waiting a whole year here I am, starting from scratch all over again.  Sometimes I can't help but wonder if this is the right choice for me?? But after trying to lose weight on my own for a year and losing 10 lbs and gaining 12... I know there is no way I can do this on my own.  Uh uh no way....soooo  after christmas I have an appointment with my Cardio and hopefully I can have his blessing this time.

Gosh, I had to reschedule my surgery!!!! I am a self payer and last month (June) I had sold a house, well almost sold it.  What happened is that the  nice people that were gonna buy it lost their job and were notified on 6-30-09, They had already signed most of the paperwork, but as soon as the bank found out they had no job.... they cancelled the loan until further notice.  I just hope I can sell the house soon so I can go ahead with the surgery.  I am not going to dwell on it, every thing happens for a reason and I will continue to have faith because I know that God knows why and when.  I leave everything in his hands.  I'm hoping that by December I'll be able to save enough money!!!!  Wish me luck!!

Hi,
I'm getting sleeved 7-8-09 and I can't help but wonder.....hum... will I ever feel like myself again? I mean  simple things like... will I be able to sleep on my stomach...enjoy a piece of my favorite dessert (cheese cake) every now and than...or will I have to endure some kind of chronic pain related to the surgery I've read on this forum how some people experience pain on their backs and behind the shoulder blade.  If anyone out there wants to share any life change other than what's expected as far as eating habits, please share.  Thanks

I'm Dead serious on getting the surgery.... I was thinking Lap Band but my Dr. Suggested Gastric Sleeve!  I'm doing my research... and I need to hear from someone who's had it done. Please post something for me :)
