I just received final approval for my sleeve surgery on 12/5/12!! I am so excited and so nervous all at the same time. Dr. Borland in New Iberia Louisiana is doing my surgery.

Well .. I have now crossed to the other side .. The losers bench!!!! Got my sleeve yesterday, the doctor also repaired a hernia I didn't know I had. Minimal discomfort. Knock on wood.

So how are y'all doing? I'm using dr Borland in February.

4 weeks out today and feeling great! A rough first week, but after that it has been an overall good process

Good luck, your surgery date will creep up on you much faster than you think!!!

Curious how much weight every one has lost this month? I lost 17 lbs. I had lost 20 but 3 lbs came back the beginning of week three and now I am stuck at the same weight week 3 and 4.

I started yesterday trying to eat every three hours to get more in and to keep my metabolism up. Focusing on the Protein and fluids. I did see the scal move from 261 to 260.4 so maybe that is going to help me get going again.

I used Dr. Borland for my sleeve on 12/5/12. I absolutely love my sleeve and Dr. Borland. I have had no problems, minimal discomfort and at 4 weeks out I have lost 22 pounds.

I am now on regular food (of course much smaller portions). Last night for supper I had pan seared catfish, topped with pan seared shrimp along with steamed squash and zucchini. Yum!
