That's awesome! Your date is so soon! I'll have to meet with a pulmonologist to go over my sleep study and get clearance. I've completed everything else but can't seem to get an appt soon enough for the pulmonologist I was hoping to have surgery the first week of April but so far things have been delayed. Can't wait to hear how your surgery goes! Keep us updated

I just a call from CHRIAS and I have been approved. My surgery date is March 1st. I am so excited I don't know what to do with myself. I have to start my Optifast tomorrow so wish me luck. Thank you all for you positivity. I know it helped me along this journey.

Awesome, I'm so happy for you! I had my last lifeskills class tonight and it was very informative and a little scary. Let's exchange phone e numbers and support each other if that's ok with you. I grew up down that way and we may know some of the same people.

I just got my final medical clearance, and am waiting for insurance approval from BCBSDE! I should get my surgery date from CHRIAS within the next two weeks. I am so. stinking. excited. Once I get the date I'm sure my nerves will kick in, but until then I'll be doing my happy dance!

Hey fellow Delawareans,

I had my sleeve in Aug. 21, 2015, Milford Memorial, Milford, DE..by Dr. Barnett. He did a great job. I didn't have any severe pain after..No problems drinking or eating. But, my lost is slow..

Hope everyone is doing well. Hope to hear from someone soon..

PS: how do you inbox..new to site

Hello Fellow Delawarean!

Having the same slow weight loss issue. I think its better in the long run if it DOES come off more slowly. I'm not really keen on the whole skin removal thing and the more rapid the loss the greater likelihood of that happening. As long as the scale is moving in the right direction I can be ok with it.

      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?
