Made my goal yesterday...oh Lord, now I have to keep it off...the hard part!

June 18th here...also waiting for the school year to close (school nurse), one week left then pre-op diet, etc..oh wow it's coming fast!!!

I HATE weaning off my Diet Coke (doing it now). Worst. Thing. Ever.

That's so amazing!!! I was afraid to go for it before school was out for summer but you did it! Way to go!

Hey there!!! Dr. Jay is doing my surgery in June...and I'm a school nurse. I'm so happy for you and look forward to hearing how ell you are doing! Maybe I'll run into you in his waiting room some day! Where do you teach school?

Yep, not a hospital...you?

Hey! I'm a nurse in Rowlett also! I'm having mine done in Dallas June 18th!

I did not read everyone else's replies but I'd say it is DEFINATELY time for you to seek some therapy...soon! And there is not a thing wrong with needing to do so...

I have a BMI of 33 and am self-pay, getting sleeved in June. I'm only telling my mom and husband so slow weight loss is fine with me...won't be so obvious that I had surgery to lose the weight when the change is gradual. It's nice to find a group like myself, confident with our decision to move forward even though we aren't "fat enough" to everyone else! I'm ready to feel great in my body again!

I'm joining your "under 100" club in June (18th to be exact), starting at 205 with my surgeon's goal at 150...bet I'll be a slow loser as well. But, slow and steady is fine with me as long as it STAYS OFF!!!!!

I just had my consult with him last week, a good friend was sleeved 2 years ago and reached her goal of 100 lbs lost in 7 months...needless to say she HIGHLY recommended him! I think he is so nice! I am self pay and that is my only complaint, that his office hasn't been totally upfront about costs, they kinda like to bait-and-switch. But that's not him, that's his office manager. He is wonderful and seems to think that because my BMI is fairly low that I will do well...I'm a School Nurse and waiting until summer break so the wait is tough...June 18 is the date! Can't wait!!

You look absolutely wonderful...I am having the same surgery with the same surgeon in June...glad to have found your posts!!!

I'm in Dallas as well, having my surgery in June with Dr. Jayaseelan!

I'm 5-5.5, getting sleeved in June. Just saw the surgeon last week and he said 150. Last time I was 150 I went to Cancun, wore a bikini and came back pregnant...lol!!! That was the bottom of the yo-yo, and here I am back at the top, AGAIN! Can't wait to stop playing this game and stay fit and healthy, FOR LIFE!

Hi, I'm self-pay(surgery is excluded by my insurance) and scheduled June 18...I'm a school Nurse so also doing this right after we get out for summer break...planning on having the summer to recoup and come up with a good story for when I come back to work looking super fabulous in the fall!!!
