Im 5'6 pre surgery I was 233 im almost 4 weeks out and weight 208. Lost 25lbs so far. Im hoping that I continue to loose a decent amount of weight. Since im following the food plan and exercise I feel positive about it

I also had surgery march 4th everything went great until last week when I started getting horrible pain on my right side. But its getting better and I've lost 26lbs.

Lol I've had dreams about texas toast, Peanut Butter pretzels and one were I was drink in soda then spit it all out because I remembered I couldn't have it. My dreams have been pretty tasty

Im march 4th. Im only taking 4 days off, hopefully its enough. My surgeon said i would be fine taking less.

I know that when I was researching this surgery and this sight, I wanted to get an idea of the type of weight loss I could expect. I learned that EVERYONE is different and that EVERYONE loses at a diffrent rate--some faster, some slower. However, I wanted to share this with those who want to have some idea of the type of weight loss that can occur with the sleeve.
I was sleeved on a Tuesday, so I weighed myseslf every Tuesday; those are reflected in the weekly weigh-in's. I was sleeved on the 18th, so the monthly weigh-in's reflect my weight on the 18th of each month.

Im also still waiting for approval. But hoping for a February date.. I totally get the pins and needles feelings. I can't wait to find out if I got approved.

I just got a call Tuesday saying I was approved and it was 2 weeks to the day that I had finished my preliminary stuff. Now I am meeting the surgeon today for consult and to schedule a date. Excited but nervous! The wait seems to go so slow when your in it! Lol, good luck!
