August 3 is my sleeve date. Been a long process (or so it seems). Was originally looking at the lap band, but changed to the sleeve. Know I will have lots of questions, concerns and ignorance about this all, but also know I can find the answers here and from other reliable sources. Looking forward to getting to know some other former fatties. Happy summer!

Congrats on your date! You will love the sleeve, it's a great surgery and seems to be the easiest tool to work with.

There is a great deal to learn but hopefully we have provided the information for you right here!

Good job on your research in WLS types. The sleeve is far better than banding, you made a good choice.

How do I set my weight and all for this forum?

You can go here and make your ticker - then you cut and past it into your signature

Weight Loss - Diet Ticker

Alex has a tutorial for doing that if you are not sure now to do it - it's not that difficult. You cut the code from the tickerfactory and paste it into your signature and then save your signature.

Welcome to the site - you'll love it -- and now Steve will have someone to hang out with in the men's room ... LOL

Had my final meeting with my doctor today. Mike is actually a PA and has been a lead force in getting this done. Next week is my pre-op and nutritionist meeting. Insurance approved the surgery but have to have a special pre-op referral. What a bunch of crud! But for Mike I am a learning experience for him as well. liquid diet starts on July 19. Birthday is July 25, so celebrating before the 19th! :cursing:

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
