 Never thought this day would come, but I am finally under 200lbs. Last time I weighed this much was over 12 years ago. I am so glad I had this surgery. There are days I get so frustrated because I can't eat much but it is defineatly better. Hopefully I won't have any problems loosing the rest of the weight. 

Yes, I admit I am a slacker.  I havent been posting.  I have been reading and posting here and there, but nothing on myself.  I am now a month out and for the most part I have been doing good.  I was seen in the ER yesterday due to an infection at one of my sites.  For some reason I always have complications about 3-4 weeks after surgery.  I received IV antibiotics and oral antibiotics and had the site packed.  I am praying it is not MRSA.  Need to get this healed up fast...I am going on vacation next sunday to the Dominican Republic and do not want to have problems.

I have been happy for the most part with my sleeve.  I get frusterated at times, I feel like I am starving and then BAM! my sleeve is full.  I have only had a couple times where I ate too much and have only been sick once.  That was not fun.  Ive lost 19lbs since surgery.  YIPPIE!  Am looking to loose many more pounds.  Hope everyone has a good day.

Well..I finally have done it!  I have finally met my goal weight and have scheduled my surgery.  It has only taken a year after starting the process.  I have actually started the process once before, but did not get very far when I switched jobs.  I am really excited about the surgery, but cant help but be nervous.  I work in an emergency room and all I normally see are the complications from the surgeries.  Not so many now, but 5 years ago, there was always 1-2 a shift who were being admitted. 
A little introduction about me.  I am married with 4 kids.  My husband says he is supportive, but he is scared I am going to get skinny and leave him.  Trying to reassure him is almost useless.  I finally gave him my packet to look through so maybe he wont be as nervous.  He works in the medical field and has seen the worse of it also, so I dont blame him for being nervous about the medical aspect.  My friends are excited for me.  They think this is this best thing I have ever done and are cheering me on. 
Later today is my pre-op appointment.  I cant wait.  then about 3 more weeks.  =-)
