I see some surgery dates are coming up quickly! Congrats and good luck. My date is Nov 27. I'm excited and nervous at the same time. I'm not sure how this 56 year old body will bounce back. I will be having my lap band removed and revise to the sleeve. I've read I could have more complications because of having the band first. Like scar tissue, stricture, etc.

Hi! I'm Nov 27. The day before Thanksgiving. I will have a lot to be thankful for. :-)
I am a bandster at the moment and will be revising to vsg. So I already have some experience in wls. I live in Bolingbrook, IL.

your surgery is a day before mine! :-)

I'm 5'3" CW: 242 Excited to start my journey and put all this weight behind me!
My goal weight is 135. Once I hit that, I will be in a normal BMI. Then I will let my body settle into a weight that it likes. Whether it be 130, 125, 120. Whatever it feels comfortable at. :-)

I know! I am excited to get this weight off! The start of my weight gain was fertility drugs! 45 pounds, 3 sets of drugs, and a surgery later I got pregnant. Lost weight in beginning of pregnancy and only had 3 positive pound weight gain. Over the years I had surgery for my gallbladder, appendix, stat csection, and 7 laparoscopic procedures for endometriosis. The final surgery my hysterectomy really added the weight! I just gave up! So tired of trying every diet and failing!! I exercise but I have so much belly fat from the hormones being imbalanced and scar tissue! Hoping to get this weight off and start running again! I am ready for my old self to come back!

I am on the pre-op diet right now. Today is day 2. Yesterday was hard, but I did it. I won't get my date until I lose 50 pounds. I am 5'11" and weigh 435. I have heard that the more you have to lose, the faster you lose it.

I'll be 40 on the next one too... I'm 5'4 and will be happy around 155lbs... I remember being 144 in high school so will be very surprised if I hit it again now... (I wasn't overweight then) I'm 238 now.....
