I'm Kim and I live in Palm Desert. Surgery 5/9/2012 with Dr Awad in Palm Springs. Age 56. Feeling like a new woman!!

I was sleeved by Dr. Awad on 12/19/2012 and I feel like a new person already too. He's great. I actually found him on a documentary I watched and I am so glad I did!

Hi Jena

We have friends in Soledad. I'm waiting for my date as well. Just went to the pre-op class yesterday at CHOMP. Couldn't stay for the support group but wish I could've. They have another group for sleeves one Thursday a month in the evenings I will try to make. Where are you doing your surgery?

I'm close to the end...I have my psych eval on 2/5/13 and from there they'll call to schedule surgery(only if I lose 26lbs my Dr wants me to lose. I lost 13lbs already) and go for EKG. I'm doing it with Fremont Kaiser. I stop weighing myself because it was stressing me out. So I'm waiting anxiously for the scale on the 5th lol. SW 316 HW 322 CW 303 GW 170-180. I'm 5'9 large frame Samoan female.

      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!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
