I am 5' 4" and currently 169. My goal is probably somewhere between 130 -140, but I would be happy at 150 if I could maintain without to much effort. I was 130 lbs for about 5 minutes and I felt good, but my body (and appetite) fought me every step of the way

The surgery center I went to only required a test if your BMI was over 40. Not sure the reasoning behind that, but I was thankful I did not end up needing to get one,

I did not get reflux, but my doctor has me taking the anti-acid pill for 30 days, sleeping with a wedge pillow (approx 30% lift) and I can not eat/drink within 3 hours of bed time.

Mine is the 31st too. I'm mostly excited and a little nervous. I try not to let my mind spend to much time on things that could go wrong. As soon as I start having those thoughts I try to immediately stop them so I don't go down that rabbit hole. I have done my research, I know I'm in good hands and God is with me. Remembering that and taking a deep breath helps

Surgery is on Oct 31st! My surgeon said she'll dress up as a surgeon and I can dress as a patient - lol
