    Anyone want to be my friend?! 2nd Sept D-Day.

    I had surgery Sept 3rd. How are you doing?
  2. I can't wait to join you ladies also. I have only lost 5# since I started in Dec. Will be so glad to finally get a surgery date hopefully end of May early June

    Arguments

    Good answer!
  4. Mine is exactly the same as Sandra. 6 months nut for 45 min or so, and dr. Supposed to be on 1200 calories, walking 5 days a week, but can only lose 10-12 lbs in the 6 mos. this is all to get the insurance approval. If I stuck exactly to 1200 cal every day and walked 5 days a week for 30 min, I would not need the surgery. I only have pre diabetes, no sleep apnea, or anything else and they don't want my BMI under 40. It seems like a game for the insurance company

    Fourth dr and nut visit today. Have lost 6#, and dr said that was great and to continue like i am BUT not to lose any more than 5 # or it will throw everything off, like my BMI. So I feel like I am on a tightrope. Lose, but only a tiny bit for now through end of May. Ugh!!

    Over 60 and having the sleeve

    Hi - my name is Debbie and I will be 63 in April hopping to get my sleeve in June. I am 234 today, high was 244 and am hoping to ge to 150 or so. Dr didn't think I would have any problems with the sleeve. That was the surgeon. Am on the 6 mo diet for insurance,mseeing the nut and need to schedule psyche eval. Guess I am nervous about that one. Can't wait to get approved and get a date. Then I will get nervous!

    Can You Fail With The Sleeve?

    Agreed. Good luck continuing your journey, but I don't think you need it.

    Hi there and welcome. I am pretty new too. Always had a little weight problem. Lost 50# once, but gained it all back too. Did all the usual stuff - pills, diets, Jenny Craig, Weight Watchers, NutriSystem, and just can't make anything work for the long haul. I went to a seminar end of Oct, met with surgeon for consult Nov., started 6 mos diet and fitness with nut and dr for insurance.mi wondered about the diet, but figured they want to see if we can lose something. Hopefully I will get approved quickly and be able to have surgery by end of June. I read this blog pretty much every day just to learn. I always see something I didn't know before. I am in the Cleveland Oh area and would love to talk to someone from around here. Good luck on your journey and keep writing.
