    Vitamins - check
    Meds - check
    Support group - check

    Lapband removed April 15, 2015. My Gastric Sleeve surgery is scheduled for May 27, 2015. Looking forward to possibility of less fibro pain with loosing weight. My spinal stenosis probably won't complain about the weight loss either.

I don't know what I would have done without my boyfriend Michael and my mum. They were amazing. I packed my bag after a thorough cleaning and scrubbing and trimming to make sure there was as little bacteria as possible on my body. My boyfriend took a picture of me as I finished stuffing my rucksack and I noticed that my clothes were already baggy from the 4 week ...
