Still working at it. 58 pounds lost so far Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hi all- my sleeve was done on 9/21/16. I started at 256 lbs and am down to 206. I can't wait to get under 200! I am currently in a size 14 - and am enjoying shopping in regular sizes now:) I still want to lose about 30-40 more. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I had my surgery 9/21 and am doing great! Only 5 pounds lost so far though my recovery has been so smooth, not one single issue. I can drink Water normally and have no pain in my incisions. I hope the weight loss picks up once I get back to work and start working out a few times a week. I started the journey at 256 and am now at 235! I just can't wait to be under 200.

Surgery is scheduled 9/21/16! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I am super excited and scared. I will be scheduling the surgery tomorrow. It has been such a long journey to get here! I never thought this day would come. I have about 80-100 pounds to lose. I am concerned about loose skin and needing plastic surgery to fix it (which I can't afford). I am 5'9 and 245 pounds. Any words of encouragement would be appreciated!! Thanks:) Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

He wants me to lose 10 pounds and I have to complete a sleep study ( scheduled for 2/16/15). As soon as both are complete we can schedule my surgery. Starting tomorrow I am doing low carb and meal replacement shakes. I know if I stay focused I can lose 10 pounds by the time I have the sleep study. FYI I also had to quit smoking which I did the end of November. Thankfully when I weighed in on Friday I had not gained any weight since quitting:) I thought for sure I had put on 3-5 pounds. I hope to have the surgery the last week of February! Did anyone else have difficulties with their pre-op weight loss requirement?

Ok. So I am 34, single, no kids. I am 5'9" and weight 262 pounds. I just barely qualify for surgery and am starting to wonder if the risk is too high for someone in my position. I also would like to have a baby at some point, am I making a mistake by doing this now?

Supposed to have surgery at the end of January with Dr. Jonathan Gipson at north memorial ( he also sees patients at unity). He seems very well qualified and has already done the endoscopy ( which went well). Anyone have their surgery with him?
