    Hi Barb, so sorry to take so long to get back to you. How are you doing, guess it is 10 days since your surgery. Hope it all went well. Tell me about it. I am leaving Sun. and will have surgery on Tues. Start liquid tomorrow, not too bad, just 3 days pre op. I have been a bit nuts lately trying to be organised and messing up. now that it is close I am OK. Have been forgetting a lot, just to much to do around here. I will not be messaging after tomorrow so hope I hear from you before then. Hugs Joanne
  2. Hi to all of You was sleeved yesterday and doing well Great experience in the hospital and with Dr Bass Am so grateful to all who shared info It made the experience so much better! Hello to Joanne! please write!
  3. Hi Joanne I'm 64 and weigh 232 as of today. I went for an EKG today and was weighed Over the past two years I've lost about 30lbs under a Drs plan I have a few family members who died of coronary disease, high blood pressure and diabetes. My brother has had a quadruple bypass and has diabetes I would rather have the surg than go through all his problems although he is doing OK but still fights the weight Problem. It's great that you went off drugs for diabetes I'm happy for you! surgery is 4/4 I'm beginning pre-op diet Tues. Trying not to focus on that too much. Keep in touch and Good Luck!

    Hi Barb, Looks like it's getting close for you, hope you feel well. Opening up to a new future. I have asked media hound to help me with group, try to help us know what to do. So Barb I am 70, can you share your age with me? I am in pretty good health but will be better after the sleeve and weight loss. W@hen I had the band almost immediatly went off diabetic med. Joy....In the end it is all about serving sizes...portions, and joices. Keep in touch and share with me how it goes. Joanne
  5. Hi Joanne I'm sorry you had problems with the band Just when you need support they let you down I've experienced some negativity from the office I go t. Not about having the surgery but with with all the paperwork and getting things done. It's hard enough to make the decision but you come up against a lot of people who don't cooperate Oh well things happen When you want something bad enough you keep going! I've been "chubby" mymost of my life. So finally for health reasons and feeling better about my appearance I'm moving forward. Next week I start my pre-op diet 7 days Just another step forward. Good thoughts to you as well!!!!

    Hi Barb, So good to hear from you. I will have my surg. april 17 and just have to a 3 day cleanse, Lower bmi I guess. Did I tell you that I had a band and it was successful, lost weight bp, diabetes no pills just diet controlled wich was easy with the band. Problem is band was causing so much discomfort at port site that I had it removed. They were not supportive and I felt again like the big L. Looked into the sleeve and sounds like the answer for me. I am having it done in Tehujana (spelling) so making it a holiday. Coming down from Toronto Canada a day early and staying a day later. I have fought the dreaded scale most of my adult life also. So here's to us. By the way I recovered very quickly last time, prepare well and keep good thought, it does work if you work it. Sounds like AA huh. Hope to hear from you soon, Joanne
  7. Hi Joanne I'm surprised no one is sharing Maybe in time I'm kind of in Limbo right now waiting for my EKG I can only pray that it is read, signed and faxed asap Last time it had to follow up so many times. There isn't a lot of time between 3/26 and 4/4! I am 64 I don't think I mentioned that before. I read and share as much as possible in the forum and on blogs So much info to help us. I am 232lbs Was 260 but went to a Dr Here in Naples where I was able to lose Aprox 30lbs It helped to get my head in the right place. Learned some really good eating habits. I hope to hear from you again!
  8.
