Looking For A Buddy With Similiar Stats

Hey everybody, I start my pre-op liquid diet this Tuesday 8/14 to be sleeved Tuesday 8/28. I'm looking for a buddy with similiar stats, and who has been or will be sleeved this month (August).

I'm 5'7", and I weigh 282. My surgeon's goal weight for me is 160, so I have 122 pounds to lose. Anybody out there similiar? Thanks

Hi,

I have number almost the same like yours. 5'7" started at 277lbs ( but I lost some). My surgery is 9/21. My goal is 160 but I will talk to surgeon in 2 weeks to find out his goal.

These would be my same stats:). Band to sleeve revision scheduled for aug 28.

Great! I'm going to be looking for you guys online. I know we're not supposed to compare our weight loss to others, but I just like knowing who is in the same boat as me, in case I fall out and need a life saver, lol.

It is really helpful to talk to each other and know that something new what we feel is not actually that scared and someone else has this symptoms as well :) it make us more calm.

Whoops, forgot to put that I haven't had the surgery yet. But hoping to by mid-October.

We are the same weight,but i am only 5'2. I am going to be sleeved mid September. I should have my exact date soon. It's hard not to compare other's with similar stats. It gives me hope when someone is similar to see their progress. Can't wait to get to know you better on our journeys!

Hi, I am new here also. We share the same date. I am being sleeved 8-28-12!!! I am 5' 7 304 lb. . I can't beleive it's almost here!! I am so excited, and scared!!!

I'm 5'6" and 255. I am supposed to also lose 122lbs. For some reason, I don't start the liquid diet until two days before surgery, which should be 8/21. I'm super excited to be able to shop in regular stores with my friends. I'm super freaked about saggy skin.
