I had surgery on 2/6/17. Saw the dr a few days ago and he was very pleased with my results. HW 234 SW 222 CW 174 GW 140

I am 3 months out and have lost 58lbs. I started at 234 in a size 20. Today I'm 176 and a loose 18 but for the life of me I can't get into a 16. All the loose skin around my lower belly won't allow it

I lost 13lbs and now I'm stuck for 4 days. I know I'm in a stall right now but it's annoying. I go to the dr tomorrow for my 1 month follow up.

I'm in the panhandle

I would recommend taking one of your family members with you to the appointment so they can get educated. Good luck.

My dr chose sleeve for me because I have low iron and take supplements for it. He said with the bypass, I would be a high risk for having to have iron infusions so that he recommended the sleeve. I took his recommendation since he has been doing this for years. Best thing that has happened to me. HW 234 SW 218 sleeved 2/6 CW 205 GW 145

I'm feeling pretty good. Went on a 1 mile walk today and felt good to get out. I have a small amount of pain on my right side but other than that, no pain. I've stopped pain meds so that's good. Hitting water goals is no problem but protein goal is hard. I think I'm going to go to 2 shakes a day so I can hit protein goal. Hw 234 SW 218 CW 217 GW 145

How are you doing? Just thought I'd check up on u!

Yay! Welcome to the losers bench. I'm on day 3. Getting released in 1 hr

That's funny about the beach since I live on the beach lol. I'm feeling amazing.

Still waiting

Just got my IV and told heparin shot will be in about a hour. Nerves are setting in now

I'm there with you!! We can be sleeve buddies

@@sleevinpops I am schedule for Monday the 6th.

I have that on Friday to sign all the consents and such. I'm pre-admitted to the hospital already and have met with my surgeon again. I'm ready for Monday! How are y'all doing on liquid diet? I'm down 13.3lbs and hanging strong on diet. Hubs is doing a modified liquid diet with me (he is eating 1 sensible meal whereas mine is all liquid).

I started yesterday as well. I'm doing ok. Day 1 was hard as I really want to eat something. Today is going a little bit better.

Feb 6th here and nervous but oh so ready!!

As a Girl Scout troop leader and mom, buy a box and donate it. That's how I helped my daughter achieve her goal.

Mine is scheduled for Nov 28th. I've already done 2 weeks preop diet in hopes of a Halloween surgery but that didn't happen. I'm eating 1 sensible meal a day but keeping to the liquid for the most part. I start liquid diet again on Nov 14th.

Today is day 3 of the 2 week liquid diet. I feel so horrible. I have a headache, dizziness and this morning I threw up my protein shake. Please tell me this gets easier. I have done super well and have not cheated at all. Hope to have surgery on Halloween. I have 1 more NUT appointment before my dr will schedule.

Following. Thank you for the information

I'm not in Pensacola but in Crestview. So I'm pretty close. I'm hoping to get scheduled in October. I'm still trying to decide which procedure to go with. Good luck on ur journey.

I have done the seminar and first of three NUT appointments. I meet with the surgeon on Thursday for my consult. Hoping to have surgery by Mid October (happy birthday to me). My husband is not on board and thinks I'm taking the easy way out. Hahaha. This is so not easy. I have already started dietary changes and adding some exercise. Good luck to us all!

I started last month. I've had my 5hr seminar last week. My first NUT appt is tomorrow and have my consult with the surgeon on Thursday. Hoping to schedule surgery in October. Good luck everyone
