Thanks praying to Jesus to watch over me... I am so excited.. I'm at 250.... Goal weight is 130... Is it possible to loose that much weight off the sleeve? My Doc said 90.

The 90 comes from the 60% of excess weight loss that is the average amount lost by vsg patients. I am stil preop but I see many people here losing much more that just the average. My dr sets the first goal at the 60% number.

beauty

no truer words have been spoken :)

good for you on preparing yourself for the sleeve

as i was losing weight, my confidence did start to show, more and more each day :)

glad you got your insurance approval :mellow:

thats a big step!!!!

continue to feel great with anticipation of surgery

you "might" feel a little nervous, anxious as surgery day is approaching

but thats ok , most of us have been there done that :)

its amazing how your life will begin to unravel, and you will feel great

remember to be patient with your expected weight loss

took you awhile to gain the weight

won't come off overnight

but follow all the rules............

and it will come off!!!!

good luck with WLS

speedy recovery

Good luck to you. It is possible to lose the amount you would like. However, everyone is different and lose at different rates. I have lost 88lbs in 14 weeks and would like to lose more. It is important to stick to the program given to you by your nutritionist and surgeon. You also should not give up when stalls happen, and trust me that will no matter what you do. Good luck to you on your journey.

Congrats! The amount you lose is really up to you and your determination. I am 15 weeks out and I've lost 60 pounds. Started at 244lbs. Best of luck!

Thanks for all of your words of encouragement. Hearing your testimonies excites me. I can't wait..no pre op diet. Trying not to do any food funerals. Instead I'm trying to change my bad eating habits. So excited. I should have a date by Friday.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?
