I'm 31 (almost 32) and was sleeved 7/31/12 by Dr. Cirangle in San Francisco. Anyone out there who was sleeved at a similar time so we can go through the stages together, sort of? I was a lower BMI: 32 so weight loss is slower for me but the experience should be similar. I'm at Day 10 and have lost 11 lbs.

Anyone interested in keeping in touch like pen pals?

27 inches? Wow that is so awesome!

I would love to get to 125-130 lbs! We will have to keep in touch and encourage each other <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

That is just crazy that you were also 188. Definitely...when I'm on the computer I'll add you as a friend. If you ever prefer texting, feel free! 925-785-4828...I'm in CA. I text my best friend all the time because she wants to know every detail but she's thin so it's not the same. Lol Are you on Facebook?

Awesome. I haven't announced my surgery to anyone but close friends and family. So the Facebook world is in the dark.

I haven't said anything either to any of my Facebook friends. I didn't want the negative feedback.

Not 27in 27lbs in 2 wks

Oh well that's still great!!!!

I go back to work on the 23rd (I work at a high school so I had the summer off) and I've been agonizing over what to tell people. Gallbladder surgery which prompted a new diet? Paleo diet? Just eating less and exercising? Im just gonna go with changing my habits. I've had high blood pressure and it's actually normal now! Hoping to get off meds soon...I meet with my pcp on the 27th so I'm going to ask. I don't think anyone at work would suspect surgery because no one thought I was THAT big (according to my sister), but if I drop 60 lbs within 6 months, that just seems really hard to do with changing my diet...

Oh well we'll just take it a day at a time.

I'm just telling everyone I had gallbladder surgery if anyone asks. The few people I have told was against it saying I wasn't near big enough. I have high blood pressure and diabetes so I feel like that's a good enough excuse! I'm just looking forward to not taking any more pills!!!! Yay!!!

I'm sure you'll be cured of both soon!

I hope so!!!!!!

I would love to know how y'all have done?! I'm also a low BMI 33. I have surgery in about three weeks. So it would be nice to see where you are at now?

I get so tired of hearing "you're not big enough" just because people get so used to seeing us 80-100 lbs over weight. My mom had the Gastric bypass last year and wants to lose 20 more, and the other day my sister told her she didn't need to lose anymore because she was skinny enough. But who is she (someone who has never has issues with weight) to decide what is an appropriate weight. We've just never seen my mom at a healthy weight. I am proud for her and look forward to getting there too, but do not look forward to every one else's opinions. Lol

When is your surgery? Mine is April 3rd in Dallas Texas. My bmi is also 33 and my mother had bypass last year too, lol what are the odds? I start my liquid diet next week and that kinda worries me. I've tried liquid diets before and it was very very hard!
