Thats me right now I'm only 5 weeks out and have began a slow weight loss.. I call it a stall because I've been the same for about a week now this will be the second. I'm just going to start a new exercise plan. Ugh

Is my amount until goal supposed to change after weight loss?

As of today ..I am 190.5

I didn't have to do that. I believe it depends on insurance.

Also the orientation is very informative ,, long you might get Liz she's ummm interesting .. If you have any questions ask there ... Keep your binder they give you it helps and has tons of info. You also find out who your surgeon is .. That day. My process went fast .. Everyone's process is different. It's really the psych evaluation that pro longs it if you can get a appointment before he gets booked you will be cool. Options? What is that? Didn't hear about that

when my doc sent the referral in 2 days later they called with an appointment for a week later June 11 was orientation I completed all my appointments before July .. Only appointment that stalled was my psych examine because he is part time so I had to was a month to see him. You are required to meet weight loss goals 5 pounds or so and stick to the diet .. Easy to me. After my psych examine I met the case manager 2 days later. She scheduled my surgery that day. August 12. I imagine it would be sooner than that had my psych evaluation would have been scheduled sooner. He was booked ..

New thread lets get active. We all need spiritual support. I know I do ...let's come together.

I had mine in richmond as well so far I'm doing great .... I had Dr.Im

Great your almost there. I'm praying as well...

So I'm a little over 5 weeks out and although I'm still learning, I feel great. I still have a issue seeing myself as plus sized but today changed my mind. Here's why

Thank you. I have another 40 pounds to seems like aways to go. But I love the progress hopefully our minds are on chill mode and are bodies are on overdrive

Thanks and u don't mind at all my bmi was 39 and the pic with the black pants was during pre op I couldn't find one before that until today.

Yowzer! Only 5 weeks out? 'm shaped very similarly to you. Only 2 weeks out today. Waiting for that one month mark to compare before/after. Right now I'm down 22 lbs and still look the same. You're my inspiration lol Awww were shape buddies lol. 22 pounds in 2 weeks is so good.. You will be there in no time.

I was sleeved August 12 recovery was cool. Minimal pain. I'm on soft regular food I'm just now starting to get pain on my right side but other than that in cool. Starting weight was 242 day of orientation 234 day of surgery 212 at my 2 week check up I was 199.4 which was 3 weeks ago I'm now 191.5 now I'm have been for awhile o believe I'm at a stall.

What were your symptoms of a leak? I'm so sorry you are going through this its a scary thing I'm most afraid of this but have been feeling some discomfort when eating and drinking. Do you know what caused it?

I'm still tired and I'm almost 6 weeks out .. Everyone is different

. Yea it should go pretty fast after that. It was orientation meet with surgeon psych eval case manager Liz lol and she gives you your date my psych eval was the longest wait because he is part time so he was booked ..Hi Ladies! I had my surgery 6/10 with Dr. Im . Everything went great with the surgery and in the hospital afterwards. I thought the nurses on the floor were great. Dr. Im talks to you like you're his only patient. I was very happy with my whole experience. Next week is my 3 month group follow up and down about 45lbs since surgery, 65 since my first orientation. My first meeting with the psych didn't go all that well. He refused to clear me the first time because he said I wasn't ready. The thing about that is that he was right. I got so pissed off that I eWent home and said just forget it! I had Mexican food for dinner and chocolate chunk brownies that night... Well, the guilt I woke up with the next morning was fierce, and I realized that it was something I really wanted to do. Stayed on plan and went back a month later. He cleared me and I had surgery within 3 weeks. He can seem a little abrasive at times, but for me, it was exactly what I needed. I had dr Im too .. He was wonderful. I was sleeved on 8/12/15 .. No complications just tired.

Thank you so much. I really appreciate your comment as well as all the others .. I have been so hard on myself this helps me move past that. ????

Thank you so much .. The best decision I've ever made ..

thank you so much I will take those out of my diet.

I just realized I'm at a stall.. I was 199.4 on August 27th and 3 weeks later I'm 191.5 .. How long does it usually last .. I'm better then I expected seeing as how I haven't been under 200 in a loooonnnngggg time .. Just want to know if I'm doing something wrong other than the few little things I have noticed .. CARBS just whole wheat crackers and toasted bread once but the crackers are frequent.. And potatoes once all approved by my doc.. Help if you can

Hey I'm sorry I have you my over all goal I needed to set a challenge goal which is 180

Thank you
