I will be sleeved in November. I am very nervous but your success helps me to look forward to my life to come:)

Background time... I've been going through the preop process with my hospital and insurance since February, doing everything required as quickly as possible and going to lots of appointments. I finally got everything done after multiple hiccups and checked my insurance website -- the authorization has been approved! I called the surgeon's office but they hadn't received notice of that yet, so I'm jumping the gun. They should be calling me between Friday and Tuesday with my date.
It's getting real.

That is awful. My advice is to find a new therapist. You are being treated poorly. Therapists are regular people who come with their own set of baggage. Find a person who listens to you and is willing to work with you. My current therapist is the 3rd one I
Tried within a four month period. When I met her we instantly connected and I trusted her. I've been with her for years now. When we discussed wls she was understanding and supportive. Don't be afraid to make a change. Good luck!!

I've lost 125, took me about 10 months. Keeping it off at 14 months post op.

5 months exactly post op and down 103lbs!!! The ENTIRE month of January I had 0 weight loss, down 6 lbs since Feb.1!!!

Started my pre-op on March 1, 2015 (11 months ago). Lost 67 on preop diet. Had surgery Nov 24,2015. Have lost just about 90 pounds so far and am really hoping on my 1 year (starting this process) date that I will have lost 100 pounds. I will then be 2/3rd of the way through on my weight loss with only 50 pounds left. I think when doctors tell folks that they will only lose 60% of their excess weight that they are averaging in all those folks who don't follow the plan on what they should be doing. For those of us who do- I think getting to goal is SO achievable! Just look at all these wonderful folks on this site. That is why I log in a few time EVERY day. I don't want to forget that I need to keep on track and on this journey. Everyone encourages me-- from the veteran who is at goal and maintaining to the newbie who makes me remember why I decided to do this!
Good luck!

Thanks for the encouragement:). Good luck in your sleeve. !!

Congrats!

Good luck!! Let us know how you're feeling:)
