I only told my mom and 2 best friends. No one else needed to know As for the weight loss, I just explain it by saying I worked with a dietician and have been following a diet... All true statements It's been 6 weeks since my surgery and so far so good!! Jules

Kimi That's great news!! You can totally lose another 4lbs My EKG was also walk in. Took about 15 mins start to finish Keep us posted on your progress. So excited for you!!! Jules

Sleeved on 11/26 and stalled for 2 weeks now... Glad I'm not alone . Grateful that I came out of the holidays at the same weight I went in! That's got to be a first!!!

That's SO exciting Kimi! If its like my consult you will get your goal weight and you'll be on your way! Keep me posted on how things are going Happy New Year! Jules

i'm in! Highest Weight 226 Starting Weight 218 Surgery Weight 199. Current Weight 180.6 Valentines Day goal 170 (may be modified to 165 if I can get past this dreaded stall!!!) Good Luck everyone Jules

whoops wrong board!

Thanks for sharing! I just started this in the crock pot and can't wait for dinner! I didnt drain the Beans so hopefully it still turns out. YUM!!

CW as of today 180.6. So close to goal!!! I'm happy even if I don't make it to 180 tomorrow. This is a huge accomplishment and I'm happy the weight is coming off slowly

I have the sane issue and also had if with my gallbladder removal several years ago. Surgeon just said what everyone else has posted. Trim it with a sanitized nail clipper but don't pull on it.

I get congested and then a runny nose when I'm full. I just take it as a trigger to stop eating. I thinks it's fairly common as it has come up in support group

That's great Kimi! I hope your process goes as quickly and smoothly as mine did Happy Holidays

Sleeved 11/26 by Dr Fisher in Richmond. Had a great experience. Wouldn't change a thing The Richmond program provides so much support and education both before and after surgery. Very impressed!

Checking in with CW of 182.5 !!! Getting lose to my goal of 180

I'm pretty sure I remember people bringing their spouses or significant others to orientation. I think I even remember one if them falling asleep and snoring!! Lol I agree if they do NOT want you to bring someone they will specifically tell you

That's great Kimi! Hopefully things will go as quickly and smoothly as they did for me

Just downloaded. Thanks for sharing!!!

Purchased some NewGel today....anxious to see how it works

NSVs = Non scale Victories

My first NSVs! Surgery date 11/26 weight loss since surgery 10lbs, total loss since starting WLS process 24 1. Can go up and down my stairs at home with NO knee pain or constant knee joint popping 2. Have had 2 people who do not know I had surgery tell me I look like I've lost weight!! 3. My rings are too loose and will need to be sized 4. I can zip up my boots without using pliers Even though the scale only shows a 10lb loss since surgery the NSVs are more than making up for it!!!

Yay!! Keep me posted on the progress

Congrats Kimi! I'm excited for you... Did you get referred to Fremont like you hoped? Jules

Congrats!!! Hoping you have a speedy recovery

Checking in with CW of 190.0. 10lbs to goal!!!

I was 199 on my day if surgery so I too had/have much less to lose than some people I had done WW, NutriSystem, LA Weight Loss, and prescribed phentermine. Lost 30 lbs on WW but gained most of it back I can relate to what you're doing . I'm 13 days post surgery and down almost 10lbs for a total of 21lbs since starting the WLS process in September Good Luck with your journey! Jules

I wondered the same thing. I KNOW my weight will not come off in my breasts (family history and weight loss experience tells me this) so am planning / hoping for a reduction and lift. Am curious how long the Dr will have me wait and how much weight I will need to lose before they approve the surgery Guess I'll make an appointment and find out
