That is still so close, do you mind if I ask how long it took to get approved, and then a date set? Well also assuming you are going through insurance? I have Cigna and I guess it can be a fairly quick process! I sure hope so.

I was sleeved on April 24,2012
Starting weight:232
Current weight:190
I stalled at 2 weeks post op, but dropped major inches!
Seems like I might be in a stall again, 4 th day no pounds lost, but my clothes are getting baggy again!! I would like to weigh between 140-145.

I bought my home ( by myself) 3 years ago this July! I am a hardworking Nurse, I oversee two Assisted Living communities every day and every third weekend take care of the entire senior community on our campus. I consider myself girly, but I also LOVE the NFL. San Diego Chargers being my heart. I love second hand shopping with my girls and playing Wii with my grandsons. I also have a sweet silky baby, Pepper(4 year old silky terrier)
I have lost weight many times over the years, but some how it keeps finding me! But seriously,
I have no problems losing weight, it's keeping it off that's the major problem!! I'm greatful this surgery is here to help me out! I'm almost 2 months out and have lost 45 pounds, only 35 more to go!!! Woohoo. So wonderful to meet all you fellow Sleevers!

I weighed in today at 173. I'm no longer considered "obese"
That is the best feeling ever!!!
Only have the last 25 pounds to go.
To make Labor Day Goal, 8 more pounds.
I hope it comes off easy, I have increased my Protein to atleast 70grams and it works every time!! I lose a pound or even 3 every day.
Today is my 3 month anniversary!!!
Woohoo

April 27th here and doing great!
Down 55.3 lbs post op and 16 lbs pre op. So that's 71.3 lbs total. My shirt size before was a 30/32 and now it's between a 1x or a size 22. My pants were a 26 and now they're a 20 and even those are becoming a smidgen to loose. I keep fluctuating 3-4 lbs but I believe that's due to TOM.. I'd like to see more pounds dropped but when I think about it 55 lbs in 3 months is holy craptastic amazing!! lol I have to constantly remind myself of this...lol

April 24 here, 3 month Anniversary
Im now down 59 pounds. I look and feel great.
People comment every day how " skinny"
I am. Yes, just 3 months ago I was squeezing into size 16 jeans and wearing 1x shirts.
Today I can wear a size 7 jeans and a medium shirt, sometimes even a small!!
Now wearing size small scrubs!!
I can't wait to see how I will look in 3 more months at my goal weight!!
