Sorry for the typo.

My Dr is making me loose 15 lbs.

14/20

Good luck

I know for life insurance companies they don't consider you smoke free until one year and they test via a swab. How does it differ here? Is it blood work or other? I have to quit as well and don't want to have to wait two more months.

I have the Ninja, bought it from Amazon. I'm preop and use it daily. LOVE it.

Definitely to fly on a plane without the extension and to be comfortable. To not have to wear stretchy pants, and to wear heals again.

8 lbs is great. I read someone elses post on here saying "imagine one lb of butter for each lb lost", that really helped me.

I just turned 49 and my BMI is 51. I'm 5' and have been dealing with my weight my whole adult life.

Thank you ladies. I have to loose 15. I think the amount required to loose varies based on Bmi it how the surgeon feels that day

I've been on this roller coaster for three years and until last week didn't know about the sleeve. I went through all the preop classes and appointments Kaiser requires and didn't loose the required 30 lbs for the gastric bypass. Last week I was assigned a new surgeon and he said the sleeve was the way to go for me. First I heard of it. I finally have hope. He put me on a 1500 Cal diet with a follow up next month. If I loose the 15 lbs sooner, I can make a sooner appointment. Problem is I'm a smoker. I must quit. I've cut down to half in a week. So hard after 20 yrs. This site has been very helpful, I've learned so much. Also dropped 6 lbs. Can I do it?
