I'm 5'9" and have been at 172 for the past couple months. According to the chart I should be 165 for a "normal" range. I'm a size 10 and don't think I can get any smaller. My hip bones stick out. I have my nine month check up this month, hopefully my doctor thinks it's ok!! Maybe when I get my extra skin removed I will lose a few more pounds.

I had my surgery on June 27. 249.3 June 12 a pre op diet starts 245.9 June 15 237.8 day of surgery 233.4 post op week 1 227.8 post op week 2 225.9 post op week 3 225.6 post op week 4 This Friday will be week 5 and the scale said 226 this morning. I have no clue!! Good luck!! With everything I have read I hope it gets better.

I'm from the western suburbs. Sleeved June 27 from the Kane center in Hoffman estates (Alexian Brothers) Best choice I ever made. Best of luck to everyone.

Thank you! You too!

I am two weeks post op and couldn't be happier. I wanted to thank everyone on this site. For months I read and read, scared out of my mind. I don't think I could of gone through it without everyone's advice and experiences to people's questions!! A comment never goes unread by someone.

I'm on day 5! It gets so much better. Broth is what I look forward too for dinner. Swanson makes flavored broths now. They are so good. Or I just strain a can of low sodium Soup. That adds a lot more flavor. good luck!

I had a meeting and a computer test. The computer consisted of 304 true or false questions. I laughed the whole time!! The computer questions are absolutely ridiculous!! The psychologist was really nice and asked just general questions about my mood, family and support. I think they just want to make sure you are not depressed and are doing this for the right reasons. I was extremely nervous. If you have a computer test don't sit and think, just answer

Chicago Western suburbs? Hopefully next week I will get a surgery date!! So excited anyone else in the same process? Every time I'm like ehhh I look at this app and it helps take the nerves away. It's nice too know other people going through the same process. Very scary but very exciting.
