November buddies where are you?

[BAMAGIRL13 20]

So hoping to get my date on Monday. Just wondering where everyone 's weight is and what they are expecting?? I keep reading that BMI below 40 are slow losers? My Dic asked if I had a goal weight and I didn't know what to say?? I just said I don't want to have any joint pain, no more hypertension, swollen ankles, or the feeling of being humiliated in my clothes!

Current weight: 228

Height 5'4"

I keep hearing the same thing about low BMI slow losers!! Some wonderful people on this site have pointed out to me it's not a bad thing to lose slow, and maybe we will benefit from it in some ways. Good luck on getting a date tomorrow, let us know.

I am on the pre-op diet right now. Today is day 2. Yesterday was hard, but I did it. I won't get my date until I lose 50 pounds. I am 5'11" and weigh 435. I have heard that the more you have to lose, the faster you lose it.

I'm also 5'4 and weigh around 236 ish. I'm so hoping for a November date, but it depends on insurance approval. I have BC/BS of Alabama. I've heard they almost always deny on the first attempt, specially if you are on the edge with co-morbidities and BMI. So....I'm mainly hoping for a surgery date before the end of the year. My doc won't give me a date until he gets the insurance approval, then I have a 1-2 week pre op diet.

I have BCBS also and a secondary insurance. My Doc says it shouldn't be a problem to get approved. I do have a very large hiatal hernia. That is part if the reason I chose to go ahead with bariatric surgery. The repair for just hernia is brutal! I wish you luck and hope you get a fast approval. What weight did you Doc expect you to get to? Any range?

I know! I am excited to get this weight off! The start of my weight gain was fertility drugs! 45 pounds, 3 sets of drugs, and a surgery later I got pregnant. Lost weight in beginning of pregnancy and only had 3 positive pound weight gain. Over the years I had surgery for my gallbladder, appendix, stat csection, and 7 laparoscopic procedures for endometriosis. The final surgery my hysterectomy really added the weight! I just gave up! So tired of trying every diet and failing!! I exercise but I have so much belly fat from the hormones being imbalanced and scar tissue! Hoping to get this weight off and start running again! I am ready for my old self to come back!
