So glad everything went well!

Jhig you got this you lost just under 40 pounds pre-op thats awesome! I see how difficult it is for my husband. We are still waiting on the final go ahead from his insurance. Every pound you loose counts even making this decision to have the surgery is a big step. I will be thinking of you Monday. Keep positive and know you are already a winner by being a loser

Thank you!

Congrats on your -100!!! He's not a tattoo kinda guy, unlike me lol. But I think it's an awesome idea. I was thing of buying him a halfway there watch with his highest weight inscribed so he will remember where he came from and strive to keep going. Sent from my VK810 4G using the BariatricPal App

Thank you! There are so many things he can not do comfortably right now that I take for granted. Like sitting at a movie theatre to watch a flick. Going to a football game. Walking around the mall. Going out to a restaurant. He is currently on disability due to the lymphadema. He is unable to walk without extreme discomfort a and pain. Which is understandable carrying around 646 pounds. I have quite a few things on my rewards list that will go hand and hand with the amount of progress, like a new outfit or sneakers. A golf weekend (he once was an avid golfer).

Hi everyone! My husband is going through the pre-op for the gastric sleeve surgery just waiting for final approval from our insurance carrier and a surgery date. I am trying to be the most supportive wife I can be. Which let me tell you can be a struggle Sometimes. Cutting out juice drinks and soda were hard but we've gotten through it, down to one glass of soda a week and no juice drinks. My husband suffers from hbp, borderline high cholesterol, borderline diabetes, lymphedema and cellulitis of the left leg. I just wanted to know if there is anything that y'all used as non food rewards. The doctor stated he would go down to approximately 250-300 pounds once all was said and done, as long as he does everything he is supposed to. Which is approximately 440 pounds. I want to be able to show a little extra support with fun things once he reaches milestones like -100 pounds, -200 pounds. Any ideas? HW 11/22/16- 691 pounds CW 1/19/17- 646 pounds Sent from my VK810 4G using the BariatricPal App

Hello all. I know I'm not a guy, but I'm going through this with MY guy. Trying to be the best support I can be. This is our 4th time going through the weight loss journey. Fear, insurance, and other life events have gotten in our way previously but this is it. We are just waiting for the surgery date. We started this journey on November 22, 2016 and his 1st weigh in was 691#. We have just had our most recent weigh in on 1/19/17 with a weight of 646#. I am so unbelievably proud of everything he has accomplished so far. He has been trying so hard to do everything his nutrtionist is asking of him. Soda was the hardest thing to break, but he's down to one glass on Sundays which is amazing. I am so thankful for ALL of you posting your stories and providing strength to the rest of us over 400# striving to be better, feel better, and live better. You ALL are doing amazing!!!!!!!

My husband is preop, just waiting for surgery date. On Nov 22,2016 at 1st weigh in he was 691lbs. He just had his 3rd nutritional visit and is down to 646. He's lost just under 50lbs follwing the nutritionsts advice. I'm so extremely proud of him. Sent from my VK810 4G using the BariatricPal App
