Thank you

Even though it was expected I hit the dreaded STALL !! Boo

Not sure how the invites work but i am requesting one. Sleeved 2/20 was 224 DOS now 207. Was stuck for two weeks and scale just started moving. Trying to be rational and patient and keep doing what I'm supposed to

Hi everyone, I was sleeved on 2/19 as well. So far everything has gone well! I weighed 396 at initial consult, 380 on surgery day and as of yesterday (4 weeks out) I'm at 352! Down 28 since surgery, 44 total and feeling good!

at least now I know its sitting on ins. Desk.. my dr office said all they have to do is verify my medicare is active.. and they can give me a date.. hopefully I can still get it done by March 28th. I am ready to do this I have a wife and 7 kids .. I cant live like ghis any longer... it has been a 7 month journey... if I dont do something.. I am scared I will loose my family and my sanity.. because my wife broke down and said she is tired of pulling all the weight due to my weight and constantly being a grouch because i am so miserable.

I called my insurance comp. everyday and after 8 days I was approved! Some days I called twice because each person gives you different information!!! Good luck!!! Now if they could send my approval letter in the SNAIL MAIL I could have MY DATE finalized!!!

Omg it's about time! Lol congrats girl

OMG...I needed to read some of these. Made me Laugh outloud! Im 6 days out from surgery and I'm dreaming about grabbing food and popping it in my mouth only to remember I can't eat it and spit it out. May have to try the dorito thing...lol

I just licked the powder off of about 4 Cool Ranch Doritos.
These are dark times (hangs her head in shame).

My 6 month post-op visit will be on March 22, but I'm at my halfway mark!
From 286 to 222.

Current update: I HAVE BEEN APPROVED!! The received my clinicals on Friday and I was approved today!!

Chiming in a little late here!
Hello!! My name is Stephanie, I prefer Steph, and I am originally from California (the Bay Area). I moved 1wk after my surgery to Bend, Oregon, don't worry I didn't do much. I sat with the dog while everyone moved everything lol. I'm 28 years old, married, and we have 2 kids (a 12 year old girl, and a 6 year old boy). I am a 'Valentiner" (I was sleeved 2/14/13).
So given that it's March I'd say it's safe to assume that everyone in this group is officially sleeved! I'm excited to follow everyone's progress.
Take care all!

Ok so my surgery was feb 19th so I'm just 2 weeks out ... Weight, 260 in November surgery date date 231 today 223 .. Who hoooo.. I'm doing pretty good I also had a huge hernia repair as well. Ok so at first I had a lot of trouble getting Fluid down I think it was because of the repair but now I have no problems at all.. Cold drinks with ice go down better then room temp.. I just started on puréed foods I grilled steak for my family tonight and spilt one with my daughter It was med rare so it was very juicy so I put in e food pros. With some sautéed onions and ground it all up.. Put some on a plate with some greated cheese and some fat free sour cream and OMG it was like heaven! It went down fine and it was the first time in a mth I have had that full feeling!, so try it if your on the mushy stage ... Let me know what u think.. Anyway I'm going to go to the gym tomorrow for the treadmill but nothing to major .. All in all I'm so glad I got sleeved I see so many changes in my body that I can't believe it and I've only lost 37 lbs since I've started my journey .. I just wanted to thank everyone on this site because weather I have talked to u or not each and everyone of your post has helped Me in ways that I can't even explain! So I will keep you posted and I hope you keep me posted on your progress.. Thanks allll

good luck and keep you chin up.. im on day 8 post op and feel great!! i hope you have a great recovery like i am.. best wishes
