It STILL doesn't seem real - I know once I go in for the tube down the throat and the stress test - it will feel much more real - I think! LOL How about you?

How exciting! The time will fly by and you'll be sleeved before you know it. :) Sounds like your surgeon is really thorough with the pre-op testing. Always good to have a surgeon that likes to err on the side of caution - a good sign, I think!

Congrats Hope! Another Sister!!!!

No - I'm not having to do a pre-op diet - lucky aparently! LOL

Beba - my process has been VERY fast. I've been thinking about this for years. I just decided a couple of weeks ago to get it done. I already had a doctor that I had a consult with a few years back - and i knew I wanted to use him.

Because I'm self paying - I haven't had to go through what so many are going through. My husband and I met with my doctor on Tuesday - this morning I had my blood work done - then I was called and they set up my scope and stress test for Friday the 11th - once that was done, they were ready to book the surgery - and the 23rd was open! So it's been very fast. I imagine if I were using my insurance it would be like so many others and take longer - so I'm counting my blessings that I was able to secure good financing and take care of this on my own

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      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!!
