Hey Stef... Congrats on being sleeved and it looks like you are doing fantastic! I am down 48lbs from the start of my pre-op diet and 38 lbs since surgery on 4/1 and am ridiculously happy with that. :)

I am in Appleton which is quite a distance from you but at least I am in WI!

I'm not a Wisconsinite but I am married to one. Can I be an honorary one?

They are some of the best people ever! :)

Hi Jim,

So happy to see another UW Hospital patient on this board. I just started the process with Dr. Campos.

Hi Jim,

So happy to see another UW Hospital patient on this board. I just started the process with Dr. Campos.

Good luck on your journey. I first contacted the UW last September and after 6 months of diet/nutrition I had my meeting in Janhuary with the doctor. Classes in March with Tammi. It was a long wait but glad the date is approaching. If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact me.

I meet with Tammi in the morning for the first time. I'm looking forward to seeing her. Was your wait from initial meeting to surgery a typical time frame for UW? I'm on month 5 of the required 6 month diet for my insurance. 3 weeks to go until the 6 month mark. I have an endoscopy on Monday. It seems like I've been pretty lucky with how these initial appointments are all taking place within 2 weeks.

From the psychologist I understand that there are 4 classes and 2 weeks of a liquid pre-op diet. So, you must be close to starting your pre-op diet. I'd be interested to know how you do with it.

Did you go to the support group meetings, too? I haven't been, yet, but I plan to attend the next one.

Tammi is really nice... Say hi to her for me ( Jim Trudeau ) I start my two week liquid diet on Saturday. My biggest delay was having to wait like two months to get in for a mandatory sleep study at UW sleep clinic. My Doc said about three months is the usual time from first meeting with them. I have not been to the support group because I have been playing vball on Monday nights but I am planning to go in July as I will be recently sleeved and not playing that night.

      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?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
