How are you doing these days? I'm now a little more than 7 months out, I'm 70 lbs down and have reached my goal weight. Well close enough to call it anyway. I am holding steady just under 145. (My goal was 140) Give us an update!

Are you still around? I was banded on Aug 9th as secheduled. I have lost 54 pounds since I couldn't be happier!

Hey Winks! Hope your recovery is going well!

Hi, I'm Sarah. We have surgery scheduled for the same day. 8/9/10! I'm not on a pre-op diet yet. For one week prior to surgery I'll be on 2 protein shakes and a Lean cuisine/ day calories not to exceed 873. They want me to lose 5-10 pounds that week mostly to shrink my liver. I will do my pre-op labs and EKG this week.

Best of luck to you!

Hey! How's it going? I got the call on July 8th that I have been approved by my insurance for surgery! I am scheduled for August 9th. I still have some labs and an EKG to get done but I'm sure that will be fine. How's your journey shaping up?

That's great news!

I will be leaving tomorrow morning around 6:30am to head to my consults. (I live about 90 miles from my clinic.) My first is w/ a nurse at 9am, the next w. the surgeon at 11:30, & last one is with the psych at 3:30. Don't know what I'll do w/ myself from 12:30-3:30, I'm pretty shy and kind of chicken about venturing out on my own in a strange city. Especially a large one with lots of traffic...my town has 1 stop light & all but 1 road are 35mph or less. LOL I don't expect to get home until late.

I got the green light from my pcp on Tuesday. He was totally enthusiastic and will be behind me 100%. Yay!

Good luck at your sleep study, I don't think I could sleep at all with all those wires attached to my head. I'm hoping I don't have to have one.

Talk to you soon.
