I was finished with my last nutrition on Nov 20th. It took them 4 weeks to send 4 approval and it was approved the same day. Another 4 weeks and and I'm still waiting for a call to get my date. I got a questionnaire from the hospital about 9 days ago, so I'm hoping Amy day now. Where are you at with yours? I started this over 7 months ago and was told by the Dr my surgery would be the end of December or early January. At this point, when I get the call it will be another 4 week wait, so maybe March? Good luck I hope you don't have to wait much longer!

I have AARp. A lot of hoops to jump through, but I'm almost to surgery.

I noticed a few NSVs last night/this morning, and I'm just so happy I had to share. So, here they are.
1) I had to tighten the strap on the mask for my CPAP
2) I've noticed that I've started taking better care of myself and have generally been feeling happier
3 (and my favorite)) Today as I was leaving for work, my husband hugs me and said, "You've lost so much weight, I can hug you more completely". Guys. He can finally get his arms the whole way around me. I have been smiling about this all day.

If you’re on the fence...just do it

You may have reflux. It can mimic hunger. Ask your Dr, you can take medication for it. Good luck!

Some people dont have filters...I assume she meant well. Just didnt know how to say it. Smh.

I'm sorry! Hope you feel better soon!

Congrats! Honestly it will come and fly by and you will be on your way to successful weight loss! My coordinator said mid January to beginning Feb. Best of luck!

How inspiring! You look great!

Extremely. Gettin it done.

Those are the stats, some people do better, some do worse. I was disappointed when I learned that, because that would still leave me pretty damned fat. I will work as hard as I can to do better, but I asked myself, "If this surgery can help you lose and keep off 'only' X number of pounds, would it be worth going under the knife?" After thinking about it, I said yes, it would. Of course I would prefer to be thinner, but being in the overweight category, while not ideal, is a hell of a lot better than being in the morbidly obese category, in regards to health, mobility and even looks.

I was told I'd lose 60kg/130lbs over 12 to 18 months
I'm 5 months post op and down 80kg/176lbs and still losing regularly
i think how much you lose comes down to your own efforts, diet and exercise

So jealous! Congrats and best wishes!

I just got my surgery date today!!! Its February 1st!! 52 more days

Seems cooler liquids causes spasms. Warmer calms it down. Recovery not as bad as I thought. Staff has really made this a breeze.

O M G! You look like a totally different person! You look amazing! Good work!

I literally do not like anything SF, so it is possible. My surgery is coming up and I have a plan to use honey, only slight amount, as I don't like really sweet drinks. I will transition to a small amount of frozen fruit.
You can do it with some small tweaks. Best wishes!

Wow! Looking good!

I had some points to use at express. I use to just buy accessories and never even think about trying on the clothes. This week I went in and tried on a xl and it was too big. I tried the large and it was perfect. It gave me so much confidence to finally be able to shop in there because I love their clothes. Since then I’ve lost another 7 pounds. Thank god the shirt was only cost me $2!

Good luck to you too! I'm thinking January for me too but who knows

I hate shopping now, and my clothes are all alike, black and Gray. I personally think shopping for regular size clothes will be exciting. Good riddance to these old clothes, soon!

I'm not sure what day, but surgery will be in January. Will find out the exact day in Nov. Good luck to all!
