. Please see reply above, how about you?

I was 308 first appointment in November 2011, 320 on January 5th 2012 when I started preop diet, 292 on March 3rd surgery day.

Desertmom, we are still right together! Almost exact same stats! I am now 182.8. Keep up the great work! :-)

Desertmom, we are right on track together! Good luck with the trainer!

How are we doing March Sleevers?? My starting weight was 320, surgery date on3/2 was 291, currently186, and I want to be 150 by my 1st anniversary.

3 days after submittal I called and was told I was approved on the phone, letter received in 10 days

What a blessing! Best wishes!

I had surgery on March 3rd, started doctor's program at 320, surgery at 290 and today 210. Sooooo very happy. Started at 24/26 and now I am 14-16 depending on cut. No issues, I can eat pretty much everything except jalapeños. 5'6" tall. Glad to hear other's sauces stories!

As stated, my opinion is simply that, my opinion, it was not intended to be negative. If you like, message me and I will give you more background as to what forms that belief

Btw, my surgeon has 100% diabetes type 2 resolution with sleeve and RNY, the University is doing a clinical study to see why both works. I am in the food cravings study, but not in the diabetes study because luckily I had managed to avoid it.

I trust my surgeon implicitly, and was originally set on a different surgery, but he told me he thinks the sleeve is the way to go. My surgeon is a general surgeon at a university facility, very studious, and he was definitely right in my case. WLS is only a small part of his practice. In my opinion, I would not want a doc who had only done 30 procedures....just like I wouldn't use an attorney who had only handled 30 cases. There is skill and experience involved!!

We've all been there, I was banging my head trying to figure out how you not lose weight on 400 calories a day and going to the gym. When I finally got my Protein up, I started dropping weight like crazy. I was sleeved on 3/2 and I don't lose anything 1-1/2 weeks a month, but on the other days I drop 1-3 pounds a day. It makes no sense, but on average I have lost 15.8 pounds per month, which is a okay by me!

Gorgeous!!

Update -58 since surgery on 3/2, -74 since starting the surgeon's program

The quickest through my surgeon's program is 3 months, average is 6 months to one year. I was going every week, sometimes twice, to get all the required classes in and all the required pre op appointments.
