You are looking absolutely fantastic!! Way to go girl!!

Thanks everyone!!!
@VSG AJH - my surgeon put me on a blood thinner for a month post-op. I also swim for exercise.

Wow! What a difference, congrats!!

You look really great! Way to go!!!

Robyn -- you look great! I have neuropathy in my feet, and frequently end up off my feet (by force!) and on a scooter. Have you had a steady weight loss? What did you surgeon have you do to reduce the risk of post-surgical clots? I know the standard protocol is lots of walking, but I don't think that will be the case for me, and I'm looking for alternatives. I'll be taking Heparin injections for 10 days post-op, and my AFOs have a compression feature.

Congrats! You look both skinnier and younger. Good for you!

you look fantastic! wtg!

I'm getting sleeved tomorrow. In January, when I began the process, I weighed 186.7. As of Saturday (two days ago), I weigh 171.2. I am 4'11".

I'm 10 weeks out and am finding myself able to eat less and less. Still struggling with nausea too. Feeling down.

My information was submitted to insurance on 4/30 and approved 5/3 (BCBS) and 5/6 (MassHealth). My surgery is scheduled for 5/21 at Newton Wellesley Hospital. Yikes!!!

Both insurances (Federal BCBS and MassHealth) have approved me and my surgery is scheduled for May 21! Now I am freaking out! An absolute bundle of nerves. I still need to tell people (the only person who knows is my boyfriend)! I need to tell my family but don't know when. Friday is my sister's graduation and Sunday is Mother's Day. I don't want to steal anyone's deserved attention. Do I tell them now or wait until next week? Help!!!

My surgeon is Dr Partridge at Newton Wellesley Hospital -- so far she has been great!!
