Hi everyone. First time I'm posting. I got my surgery date, June 13, and I'm sooo excited. It's been a long process. I started with the first phone call to Oregon weight loss surgery sept 20,2011. What I'm struggling with is that my phys asst wants me to lose 10 lbs before surg. I have 9 to go and my check up is the 8th! I've had a horrible week...my friend was murdered at my work and I found out my husbands company is transferring us to Arizona. The stress is not helping with weight loss and I will be devastated if they push my surgery out a month. It's not like the insurance company wants it the dr thought ur would be a good goal. I had lost the 10 pounds around month 4 and gained it back month 5and 6. Precisely why I'm getting this surgery!,,! That's all

Does your doctor make you do a liquid diet before surgery? I had to do a 2 week liquid diet before surgery and I lost 11 pounds in those 2 weeks. It was definitely hard, but you should be ale to loose 10 pounds in a couple weeks if you do it.

Sorry to hear about all the stress in your life and really about your friend. Pray you can focus on getting healthy and sleeved!!
