  1. Hello lady! Things are going well. I feel great. I'm probably not losing as fast as I could if I would exercise more. But I have RA and it makes it hard for me to exercise. I need to join a water aerobics class but I haven't found one that is offered in the evenings. I have a treadmill but I'm so tired when I get home from work all I want to do is sit and rest. My husband and I are talking about joining Lifetime Fitness though and they offer a lot of things that would help me. I'm very pleased with my success though. I hope things are going well for you. You have a wonderful week too, sweetie! Praying for you!

  2. Hi Becky...checking in to see how things are going. Pray all is well! Have a great week!!! Chele
  3. I don't mind at all. The pain meds caused me to be constipated and I ended up with an impacted bowel. After that finally cleared up I was diagnosed with diverticulitis. It was very painful BUT not nearly as painful as the pain of being overweight. Aside from that I've had no problems at all. Please feel free to call me if you have any questions before or after surgery. My home # is 972-235-9811. My cell is 972-998-9518. Take care! B

    Hi Becky,
    Thanks for the prayers. I pray eveything goes well. I would love to keep in touchto have a weight loss budy. It is funny but I have friends that have had RNY done and I find it hard for them to relate on the procedure level. They are very supportive of WLS but their journey is a little different. If you don't mind me asking what kind of complications? CurrentlyI am in a 20w and the smallest I have been in my adult life is a 12. I went in my closet and pulled out my crate with my size 12 jeans in hopes of getting in them one day. I am nervous and excited!
  5. Well my doctor appointment today showed that the incision in infected. He cut it open scraped it out the put in a blue plastic like piece to keep it open. Don't know when I can go back to work Hope you had a great day!!

Relief

by mimi53 on 10-16-2011 at 10:59 PM
Hello everyone,
I've been so worried about telling my family about my decision to have gastric sleeve surgery. However, I told one of my sisters last night and she was so happy for me. She had tons of questions but she was so supportive and encouraged me to tell our Mom. Today I did that. Mom wasn't quite as excited for me but is very supportive and wishes she could be with me when I go through the operation and recovery. She lives about 3000 miles away but she'll be with us at Christmas

I have a date!!!

by mimi53 on 10-06-2011 at 07:20 PM
I'm SO excited! I met with Dr. Nicholson today and I have a surgery date!! November 1, 2011 is the date of my surgery and the day things change for me. He (Dr. Nick) was SO encouraging and positive about my plan. I start my pre-op diet on 10/18 and I know it sounds crazy but I'm even looking forward to that. I am just so excited about the new me I'm about to discover.

Here goes something!

by mimi53 on 10-05-2011 at 09:57 PM
Hello all, my name is Becky. I have only been on the forum for a few days now but I've really been encouraged by all of the posts I've read. I have struggled with weight my entire life. Just like most of you, I've been on every diet there is and with some I've had success. However, the weight always came back (and brought lots of friends with it) faster than I lost it. A few years ago several of my friends had lapband surgery and I wanted to do the same thing but my husband just wouldn't hear
