Yeah !! Congrats to you !!!! Keep up the good work ~

Best wishes to you both ! I was sleeved on 10/14 and have already lost 34 pounds...it just melts off if you do as you are told.

Switch up what you are eating. Drink Water...water...water. Walk !

Yeah for you !!!! I love seeing such progress ! Lets us all know there is a light at the end ofthe tunnel ! Thanks for sharing

My sleeve was done 10/14 and the itching has finally stopped, but like Melaine said cold compress!!

You are my hero !!! I'm 2 1/2 weeks out and down 17 (plus the 7 lost on prediet for a total of 24)

Today is 1 week post op. Not gonna lie was very sore and still have soreness on my right side. Was it unbearable...no! Would I do it again.....hell yes ! Walk, walk, walk.....drink water ! Down 11 pounds already !

I know what you mean, I was sleeved on the 14th. I have had the hiccups every time I drink anything...and it does have an odd sensation going down. I think warm does better tho.

I just got my time for surgery tomorrow !!! Sooo excited... but wish it was earlier than 2:45

Thanks Kathy ! I added it

Can y'all tell me how do I add the cute trackers you have? Thanks~

Wow, Wow, Wow YOU LOOK WONDERFUL !! My surgery is 10/14 and I can hardly wait for this next chapter in my life !

@@mizzmaryk I;m the 14th also ! @@mizzmaryk I;m the 14th also !

Me, me, me...I'm on for 10/14 !!????. Started pre op diet today! Excited!!!

I got my date !!! October 14 ! So excited it's hard to sleep. I have a gall bladder sonogram and physical on 9/21 then I will start the pre op diet on 10/1, yeah me!!!

I have my last Dr appointment then will get my date. Hope it is in September. I too was worried about my Dr signing off. He was actually on the mean side. Said why do that to your body? You will just be back here in 5 years the same size as you are now! I broke down in tears.... I've been obese for years and my records show it. I've tried every diet....every pill....hypnotized ...HCG shots etc... Then I got mad. He told me how he and his wife get up at 5:30 every day to workout. I had to remind him he's not obese.... When I told my surgeons nurse what my Dr said, she said it was time for a new Dr. I agree only I'll wait until after the surgery ! Anyway, got my letter and I am full steam ahead !!

Didn't your doctor give you step by step " what to do next" instructions? I was approved and for example....going for endoscopy Thursday, EKG Thursday, set up meeting with nutritionist...etc..etc...

I'm 5'4 as well and haven't gotten to the point of thinking about my goal yet, still in pre surgery stages, with no date. I say whatever makes you feel good....but heck yeah 145 sounds wonderful !!! Best of luck to you.

I was approved BCBS ( AHC) doing my endoscopy Thursday, EKG etc also on Thursday, then to regular MD for letter of need. Has anyone every had a problem getting this letter from their regular MD? Anyone here from N.C.??
