Ok, sleeve family, I have been told that my date was Aug 23 and then found out that my doctor does not do surgery on Fridays. This is good because that is my anniversary so my hubby is happy but then they tell me the 22nd but by the time she responds back someone has taken my date. So, now my date as been put on the books as 29th of August. So I will be crossing over on Aug. 29th. I am so happy about it and cant wait. I should receive an email by Tuesday with all the information on what I should do at this point. I want to say congrats to all who have a date and to those who are still waiting good luck on your date and make it soon.

August 16th here! I think I'm the only one for that date so far. I am excited but so scared at the time same time. I know some of you feel the same way. What helps you work through those feelings of fear?

Hey, Mocha2871, maybe I'll see you! You planning to go to the support group there? I'd like to, but it's a bit far for me (I'm in Oak Park).

Got the date! August 13th! Have to start my job Aug 19th though! I was hoping for an earlier date in August! I work as a school counselor and kids won't be at school that first week so I am hoping low key week and I can manage it. From most accounts, without complications, people feel a lot better by that 3rd week out. I think I can...I think I can...anyone else August 13th or having to get back to work sooner than hoped?

I have to be back at school and in a 4 hour simulation lab 9 days in. I plan on sitting as often as necessary.

      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
