Looking For A Buddy 1/27 Sleeve 200 To Lose

[circa 333]

I'm being sleeved on 1/27 and I have about 200 lbs to lose. I live in Colorado and I'm used to being very active until the last 4 years. I don't have any comorbidities, however, I'll be having another procedure to have tumors removed from my adrenal glands a few weeks after I have my sleeve.

Anyway, if anyone is in a similar situation, Coloradan or not, would love to buddy up and keep eachother in check

I'm tentatively scheduled for surgery on the 27th as well. I don't know what my goal weight should be but I need to lose about 175 lbs. I just got my blood work back and no diabetes, cholesterol and Vitamin levels are all fine. I did find out I have sleep apnea though.

The reason I say tentative is that I don't have insurance approval back yet, but the surgeon's office has penciled me in just in case it does come back in time.

awesome hope you get your approval! Keep us up to date!

Hi Circa - I'm a little after you (2/6) and would love to keep in touch and be support for each other. I'd like to lose 180 pounds (ack! that seems like soooo much). I grew up spending summers in Telluride (my brother lives in the family cabin year round now).

My surgery is not until 2/13 (Lord willing), but I also have 200 to lose. I find most on here are what I call lightweights so I'm always looking for someone of similar build to track. See what my chances are of getting as thin as I desire. And how post op goes for them. I've been following you around already, Circa

awesome! Let's all stick together on this! Happy losing!

I'll partner with you. My sx is on Feb 1st. My surgeon's goal is 150 to lose. My goal is 165. I agree with Dooter about some of the "lightweights". I'm 5'9" and no comorbidities. Each day closer I get more excited about being active and doing things with my family again. I can't wait to enjoy shopping again.

Cool! Ya, I see people getting down to 120 and 140 (which is where i'd LIKE to get, but just don't know if that's reality at my starting weight. (340. SSSHHHHH...it's a secret!) I always said i'd be happy the rest of my life if I even got down to 180, but now that it may actually happen.....I'm getting greedy! I want MORE!!!

(There is a February 2012 thread. I actually started one, because the other February thread was for 2011 surgeries.)

Hey Circa, I just live right down the road a piece in Albuquerque. Maybe one day when we've come along a ways, we can meet up!
