I am five months into my mandatory 6 consecutive months of weight management requirement for my gastric sleeve. In that amount of time I have lost 33 pounds. I am afraid to lose more as I am afraid I will be told I am no longer eligible. Having the surgery has been my sole motivation to lose weight. I am making these changes to have a better life with the sleeve. Any words of encouragement is greatly appreciated. Thanks

I will not miss CPAP. I will not miss taking blood pressure medication.

I am two months away from completion of my six month insurance mandated weight management I am anxious for my surgery approval. I appreciate this time to realize how my life will change. This is a tool not a quick fix. I realize this every day. You can do it. Just hang in there.

My name is MJ. I am a fifty three year old OB nurse in Alaska. Been married almost 18 years to the love of my life and we have an 11 year old daughter. I have been a nurse for thirty years and have decided after forty years of fat I need to be around for my family. They need and love me as much as I love them. I am planning on spring 2015 for my sleeve. I have two more of the required six consecutive weight management sessions. Already had my required psychiatrist visit and had my consultation in Seattle with my surgeon. Things going well. I am down 33 lbs since I started weight management. From 261 lbs to 228lbs. I want to lose another seven pounds and keep in my training mode.
Has anyone been turned down because they lost too much weight pre op.?The surgery is my motivation. I know I have to do this training for the rest of my life my sleeved life.

Don't forget FMLA. Family Medical Leave Act. I will be using it spring 2015 when I get my sleeve. Been banking my leave. I have to take 6 weeks off and my job won't let me back until I am ready. Take care of yourself first.
Farewell Tour
in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Posted
I actually have blogged my farewell tour of foods. While I realize that I will be able to eventually have these foods again and since I see it as a grieving process -my relationship with food- it helps me prepare for my anticipated surgery. Anything that helps you prepare it helps.
Good luck. ????
