Who is pre-op and who is post op?

[Kaj 88]

​Pre-op. I'm shooting for July 23rd surgery date. No idea yet if that is possible - it might be farther out. I see the Nut and exercise physiologist on June 10th, then my surgeon for consult and hopefully to schedule my date. I am Federal insurance and first letter approved. And this will probably make no sense but one of the reasons I'm looking forward to my surgery date is that I'm looking forward to that 2 wk vacation. <lol>

3 days post-op.... HW: 251; SW: 245; CW: 242.8

I am doing great after surgery and everything is flowing so smoothly with very little pain.... Just slow in losing but that should hopefully pick up soon. I'm going to go do some shopping today for some sugar-free Popsicles and Isopure and all that good stuff!

Any advice out there for quick weight loss results would be so appreciated!

Finished all test , labs Nutrition , and Pshy appt. Looking at a surgery date for the end or middle of Sept.

Age 61 start weight 301lbs, current weight 294lbs, My Dr has not advised me to lose weight. Just don't gain any prior to surgery. I was under the impressio everyone pre-op had to lose weight. Still a bit nerv because of age but also excited. All test were fine and nothing was found that would keep me from having the surgery.

4 days post op. Surgery was 31 July, UWH, Madison Wi. So far, so good. Very little pain. Every thing is working fine. My only complaint is, I still feel pretty tired.

Tomorrow is my day. I'm praying for swift healing, no complications, no difficulty with getting my Protein & liquids in, and a return to work two weeks from tomorrow with enough energy to do my job without needing to take anymore time off.

I am scheduled in one week, November 11th. I'm 61, I've lost 28 lbs and I have 120 lbs to goal. I hope to have knee replacement surgery as soon as I get close to my goal.

I am 65 and hoping to be sleeved in January. So many tests. I have a sleep test on 12/4 and a Dr appointment on 12/5. One more Dr appointment in January 2nd. I hope to get my surgery date then. Can any one tell me what to have ready for the hospital. I am so anxious.

I am 64 and my age was my biggest concern. Hw 192. Surgery 10/23/13. Down about 30#. Was at a stall for about a month after a month and weight loss is beginning again yeah. Definitely worth it even though I was a self pay. Age was not an issue.
