Congratulations. I haven't been on bariatricpal for awhile and signed on today to post my new weight. I will be 4 months out on Saturday and as of today I have lost 49.5 lbs. I am now in wonderland. I have moved out of Green Valley and now live in Las Vegas. Sorry I never got to meet you and hope you continue doing good. I am planning on keeping Dr. Welle as my bariatric doctor and will fly back early January for my 6 month checkup. Lisa

That is great. Looks like you have a great support system in place.

Wonderful!

Congratulations! Can't wait until I get there.

Great job! Hope to see you at the support group at TMC Saturday 8/2/14. We are moving that day, but since I still can't lift anything over 20 lbs I really can't do anything to help. I'm not weighing until I see Dr. Welle on 8/6.

Congrats. I just got my sleeve yesterday. Just a little gas in my right shoulder and my incisions are sore. Trying to get all my water in today. So far I've only 20 oz, and 1/4 cup broth.

Finally, congratulations!

WOW! You must be so excited. You have done wonderful and I can't wait until I get there.

Hi

Sorry I took so long to answer back. We were in Reno seeing our grandson graduate High School, then to Las Vegas buying our new house. We just got home this afternoon. I am really going to try to make that first meeting in August. We won't be moving to Las Vegas until the end of September or October. Depends on when the house is finished. Hope you are doing good. You must be about a month out from surgery. I have 16 days left. Tomorrow I go do my EKG, and I see the NUT on 6/30. This Friday I have a colonoscopy and they are doing an EGD at the same time. I am having the EGD to see if I have Celiac disease. Since I am having it Friday, Dr. Welle said I don't have to have another. They are going to fax the EGD to him. I see Dr. Welle on 6/7, then surgery 6/8. I can't wait. Even though they don't do a special diet before I plan on doing liquids for at least the week before. Have a good week. Lisa

Wonderful. You are closing in on a month out and how are you feeling? Have you weighed yourself, or are you waiting until you to for a checkup? I can't wait until my pj's are falling off. Keep up the great work.

Sorry I took so long to respond. We just sold our house and I have been so busy getting everything done. We close on Aug 4th so I probably won't be at the support group. We are hoping to move to Vegas and come back each time I have a checkup appt. It is going to be interesting having surgery July 9 and trying to pack up. I told my husband that he can stack stuff on the kitchen table and I can sit in one chair and put a box on another and pack stuff that way.

I am trying to figure out if I can fit a movie in before my surgery, just for the popcorn. That is something that I will miss, but I know that being fit and healthy will taste much better. Good luck with you liquid diet. When is you surgery? Mine is July 8th. I don't have to do a post op diet.

Have fun swimming. Sure is hot enough. Once I get cleared I look forward to swimming, or actually water walking. We have an indoor pool across the street from me, but I prefer being outside in the fresh air.

Wonderful. That is amazing, 20 lbs in 2 weeks. How are you feeling? Can't wait until my surgery July 8th.

Hope that appointment is soon and your approval comes quickly. I finally am approved and have a surgery date of July 8th. Fingers and toes crossed for you.
