    Thumbs up "A new journey"

    My surgery is next Wednesday and it's all I'm thinking about. It's hard to concentrate and I just can't wait to begin my adventure! I've never been thin and it will a great surprise to see what it feels like to be thin and healthy. I have diabetes and look forward to the day when I can dispose of all insulin and no more sticking myself in the belly (albeit smaller one. I look forward to sharing this journey with my fellow sleeve members! Good luck to all and "let the journey begin"!

    A journey start with one little step - or in our case a gigantic step. Congrats.

    Welcome and good luck. I am about 10 weeks post surgery and haven't regretted it one bit. The summer is a great time to recuperate and loose weight!!!! I am in New Jersey too and the heat is such that you just don't want to eat much but drink lots!!!! I am "melting away" as my neighbor says. And you will too!!!! Don't worry about others who are on the journey...just pay attention to your path and follow the advice of your doctor and other health professionals. Sometimes I fall into the trap of "....I wish I could loose xxx lbs. just like the other posters on this website!" In reality everyone is different and will loose differently. I guess that I am looking forward to a family event in October and want it to happen now!!! I need to go to Costco and buy a new digital scale. The old one is not working right. Though I am loosing weight the numbers are lower than what is in the doctor's office. Good luck!!!!



    This was the best thing I ever did for myself!!!
