Elayne

Hey girl! Just wondering how you're doing and how much you've lost so far?
Im 4 months out and alittle over 70 lbs down And I've been keeping up with the vitamins and protein shakes relgiously!
Hey is that a sleeve tattoo on your arm that you have?
I've been thinking about getting a tatto myself but I was told I would have to get something small before I can get something big, I was wondering if you had to do that too?
Hope all is well and cant wait to see updated pics! I have to post some up myself too lol

thank you, you're so sweet!

Thankkkks lOveeee

When is your date? I wish you best of luck!

Hi Elayne....It will come so fast and before you know it, it will be surgery day! I am not looking forward to the liquid diet either. Saturday will be here before I know it and it's scary. I have let go of so much and I know I can do it! But it doesn't mean that it doesn't suck!!!! Keep me updated on everything and I will let you know how it all goes!

Oh my goodness am I ever..... My Pre-Op appointment is Thursday and then I start the fun diet Saturday morning...this week seems surreal to me. My last week with food...LOL! How are you doing?

Hi. My doctor was Kurian. She is great. Its been 5 months now.

I actually work in White Plains - I live in Yorktown. Tarrytown is a beautiful place. If you are looking to get out of the city, yorktown is a great place. I have an awesome apartment in a townhouse complex. I get a lot more space that you would in the city. I used to live in Bay Ridge in brooklyn and in the bronx I lived outside riverdale.

Wow - 1 month out. You'll adjust. I hear that the first month is hard, just getting used to the lifestyle. I'm glad that you are in the city - it's awesome to know that someone is close that just went thru it.

I do not have a date yet. I have 2 more months of PCP diet for my 6 months and hopefully will be submitting to insurance company 6/11

Im happy that I had it and my blood pressure is improving but it is a very difficult adjustment and its not as easy dealing with as I thought. Im ok with not eatting as much or the things Im not supposed to eat or drink. But im in pain the minute i start eatting anything or when i take a sip of anything. Its like im swallowing rocks nad sometimes my stomach doesnt tolerate well so i get sick. Actually most of the time thats the case so i hardly ever eat now.
But I am only 1 month out and I hear it will get better for me in time. I hope so! ::crosses fingers:: lol
What about you.. have a date yet or are you still waiting for approval and going through the annoying pre testings? lol..

Hey! Very cool! And yeah its nice to meet someone so close to home lol Cool what part of the brooklyn and the bronx did you live? You live in upstate NY?
I like westchester and whiteplains! I would love to live in Tarry Town- its beautiful there but very expensive i hear. Maybe someday! lol..
I had GBS on March 25th of this year. Im 1 month post-op and 35 pounds lighter. lol
I did mine at Mount Sinai hospital. I used to work there and they have a great WLS center and programs.
