For the first time in years, I'm under 200 pounds. Woo hoo. Lost 34 pounds pre-op and now 24 post-op. Surgery was on October 2nd. Weight loss has been slower than I expected, but my nutritionist said that I have lost 48% of my excess weight and am right on track. Yay!

Great way of looking at it. I'll have to use this idea.

Thank you so much for your response. It could be head hunger. I'll have to pay attention to the difference between head hunger and real hunger.

Just got my surgery date...10/2. It will be 15 and a half months since my first consultation. I'm so psyched.

I don't have a surgery date yet, but I'm hoping it will be in October. Congrats on your date. How long did it take you? So far, it's been 13 months for me due to various delays.

I'm on say 7 of my pre-op diet, but I struggle with not having soda. I catch myself reaching for one in the fridge and have to remind myself that my soda days are behind me.

NettyD will do. Hopefully we can be surgery twins!

Welcome surgery twin. The 2nd can't come fast enough.

It took a long time because of delays in appointments with the nutritionist and because it took a while before I was psychologically cleared. My med manager is against anyone having bariatric surgery, and her bias was a disservice to me. By the time the surgery happens, it will be over 15 months.

So far it's been 13 months for me. I meet with the surgeon next week and will hopefully get a date soon. My 60th birthday is coming up in mid September, so I'm hoping to start the preop diet shortly after that. This is my birthday gift to myself.

In my case, I have a med manager who is against weight loss surgery for ANYONE. She really messed things up, causing me stress and a significant delay.

Hi, I'm new here. It's been 13 months since I had my first consult with the surgeon. I just got psychologically cleared, which was a hassle. I meet with the surgeon next week, and hopefully everything will then be submitted to insurance. I'm hoping to have surgery in early October.
