I had surgery march 26th and since that day I've lost 35 lbs. I think your doing great. I had a 2 week period where I hit a wall then on day 15 I weighed and had lost 5 lbs. Funny how that works. From now on I'm only weighing once per month. Good luck and best wishes.

I think that this is a good idea! I am going to be sleeved this fall and I am taking all the advice

I had to do a six month medically supervised weight loss plan, too. At first I was mad--I wanted the surgery done immediately! But now that I am done with all that and surgery is TOMORROW (!) I am grateful that I had the six months to make the necessary changes to my habits (quitting drinking soda, cutting down on caffeine, practicing Portion Control, tracking Protein intake, getting more active, etc.) I don't think I would have been prepared if I had had the surgery a month or two in!

It does go by pretty quickly. Best of luck to you!

I am so glad to hear that!! I am super excited! ! Can't wait to start my new life for sure!!!

Those six months will fly by! Seems like I just started the process, but I'm already almost a month post-op!

I can't wait

with my insurance, I have to stay at a bmi of @least 40 for the 6 months. I know this is counter productive. But this is what my insurance requires. I already have a date to turn in my paperwork. It it September 8th and it usually about s week foe approval. So I am hoping for a sept 30 th surgery daye!!! Fingers crossed

I see the nutritionist today to start my 6 month supervised diet. I am so happy the ball is finally rolling:)

I see the nutritionist today to start my diet I am soo happy I am so happy the the ball is finally rolling:)

It will!! Just your eye on the prize

I was so afraid that just having a bmi of 40.4 would not be enough but the dr said that it will be no problem with the insurance, I also am starting my 6 month diet monday april 21st, my psych eval is may 10th, my swallowing test is may 12th and my nutrition class is may 17th. I just need to get my egd scheduled and I am set. Just have to keep my bmi above 40 and I should be turning in my paper work in mid sept. And I found the greatest thing!!! I don't need to do a two pre op diet yeah I am so glad.

I am sooo excited I go see my surgeon for the first time tomorrow!!! I get to finally ask all the questions I have been wondering about. Wish me luck!! I also have a bmi 41.1 with no co mobitities I hope that is not going to be an issuse with the insurance

That's weird to me I go to the gym everyday if wasn't for the gym I don't think I would lose 95 pounds in 6 months I saw my early march and he asked me if I join the gym I told him yes and he was so happy to hear that please go to the gym it's great this surgery is just a tool u have to do the work

What is your workout cardio and weights???

Congrats!!! I think u made the right decision!

I just started my journey, I just went to my pcp last Friday and she wrote the referral to the surgeon, the only thing is the nurses have not sent it to the surgeons office yet. I just want to get stared!!!!
