7 weeks and I'm down 25lbs since surgery on 7/20. 33lbs since the pre op diet. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I am the opposite I'm looking forward to mine shrinking. Mine started developing when I was 9 so they have been huge ever since. I was actually looking into a reduction before I decided on the sleeve. So I welcome them being smaller after the surgery even if they are deflated. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Mine is the 20th and have to do optifast too. I'm on a partial optifast diet now. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I've been very open about my surgery. I don't feel it's right to tell people I lost weight with diet and exercise like a friend of my does. My surgery is not something I'm ashamed of and there are people who try to talk me out of it by saying they know so and so who gained it all back or died I just listen and go about my business Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

That's my date too! I wish it was sooner I just want to get it over with and start losing this weight. I'm tired of my 3 year rubbing my belly asking if there's a baby in there lol Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

How can I get into the group? I've looked for it on Facebook and don't see anything with that name. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm July 20 IF all of my tests are good. I have appointments for everything. Had a little problem with the sleep study being scheduled for 7/26 but they had a cancellation so I'm having that done next week. Now my issue is the pulmonologist can't see me till 7/23 to get my results. I'm hoping I can get the clearance without having him go over the results with me. I also have to do Optifast for 2 weeks. I see the surgeon again on 6/28 so they'll probably tell me then what the diet consists of. I'm excited about this surgery. I've never been able to lose weight on my own. The most I ever lost was 27lbs. I'm 5'5, 257 with no health issues so my bmi alone qualifies me for the surgery. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I see my surgeon again on the 28th I was told on my first visit that I would have to do two weeks of Optifast. I don't know if it's all liquid or if I can have some food. I hope so cuz the thought of not eating scares me lol Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I got a tentative date on the day of my first consult. I already had appointments for all the specialists so the lady said she could give me the surgery date. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

If I get all my clearances I'm looking at 7/20. I'm excited about the surgery but scared of the 2 week liquid diet more than anything.

Hello everyone. My surgery is tentatively scheduled for 7/20 but I responded because I'm also from Long Island, NY and my surgeon is Dr. Nishimura. I've been searching the forum for someone recent that also had him as a surgeon and saw this post.
