Surgery was Aug 29th. I am down 20# from surgery, but i have lost 4 " off my belly. I feel great and should have done this sooner. I am able to get all the Water down daily and all the Protein. I start soft food in a day. I feel amazing. No problems so far. I have not had my 2 week checkup Sept. 17 so all I do is walk walk walk and putter around the yard. I started this journey on May 3rd I was 317# first appt was 289# day of surgery 284# So I feel amazing all the time.

Mine was a BMI 44 and getting diagnosed with hyperglycemia, severe sleep apnea, fatty liver and cholesterol almost equal to my weight 298 weight was 317 all at once. Time for change

Aug 29th here. Best wishes to those that have been sleeved and those coming up.

Congrats on your date. I will have mine the same day. Good luck and best wishes

Congrats it is great to have the approval. Best of luck to you.

I started the approval process June 6th Had to have sleep study June 13 I have sleep apnea. I got a machine and use it everynite. I could tell the difference when they did the tritation and found the right pressure setting. I slept much better then and now. I had an extra 4 weeks before approval because of the tests. I was told by my PCP and surgen that the sleep apnea should go away once I have significant weight loss. Not sure how much weight that will be. I have read that some surgens require a certain amount of time on the machine before they will do surgery. Mine only required starting treatment. Hope that helps.

I got great advice from another person. Bug them, pester them, dont leave them alone. I was on track for late sept or early October. I called and was able to slip right in because they opened up other dates.

Just got my dates. Pat Aug 13 and surgery Aug 29th. Excited as heck. I cant wait.
