MARC ZARE PEOPLE UNITE :D

Hey thought I'd start a thread I've noticed a few of you today. I had my surgery last year but I see several people in process right now and one newly sleeved!

Tell your stories :)

Perhaps we can follow each others progress in this thread?

      Awesome Laura! Thanks for starting the thread. Right now I am dealing with quitting smoking. I have decided this is going to be the hardest part. Tomorrow will be D-day for me and my cigarettes. I w

    Just checking in.....

    Just got back from my pre op appt. I am a little disappointed. I found out today that I am not going to be nicotine tested :unsure: I worked so hard to quit smoking. Damn it I want to be tested LOL. Although Dr. Zare did say he didn't need to nicotine test me, because he could tell I had quit smoking by my voice, my breathing, and my skin color. He was very proud of me.

    Addtionally, I officially lost 15 pounds so far pre op and I have 2.5 weeks to go until surgery. Dr. Zare said he liked everything he was seeing and will see me on October 22nd at the hospital.

    I am soooo excited. I still need to go do my final labs and my pre-reg at the hospital, but I am in it to win it!

    Im a dr Zare patient also and was sleeved Aug. 13th so far so good. My highest weight was 283 and my surg weight was 271 and as of today im 239!! 6 weeks out and 44 lbs down. Feels amazing

    Congrats those are amazing stats. Did you lose the 12 pounds before surgery with the liquid diet? Is the liquid diet that hard? Also, how was your recovery process. Just got approved for a 1 night stay and scheduled for end of October. Excited and Terrified at the same time.
