I have my first appointment tomorrow, actually it's today in about 8 hrs, but I woke up at 1:00am and have not been able to go back to sleep. I'm excited and nervous.

Wow! Good luck on the loss! Is there a particular reason he wants you to lose 70 lbs prior to surgery?

My BMI is higher than recommend and the risks are greater at my weight.

Did they at least give you a diet to follow?

No, but I am doing my doctor supervised diet with my doctor. I'm thinking of joining weight watchers.

Mine is 62 right now. I meet with the Dr on the 15th and not sure if he will want me to lose more weight before surgery.

Good luck!

Well good luck, I doubt he will, even after I lose 70 pounds my BMI will be higher than that.

      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
