Hi everyone, newbie here... Started my WL journey back in Feb(for the second time-first time I had to put it on hold because my father became ill)-finished up my 5th month of my 6 month pre-op requirements yesterday... exceeded all my goals so far so it looks like its really gonna happen this time :-) and if all goes well should have surgery in oct....

Woo! Congrats!

Congrats!

I'm new here. I'm having surgery on sept 3rd I have to lose 13 lbs before surgery is this normal?

The program i am in you have to lose 10% of your starting weight before you are even able to see the surgeon....

Wow that's amazing. I thought we were having the surgery because we couldn't lose the weight. It looks like I'm gonna have to try the liquid diet sooner then I wanted.

Try not to stress too much about... It will happen a lot easier then you think... I just hit my goal and i had to lose 44 lbs...

How are you doing with your pre-op weight loss????

<3 brknhrtd8911 <3

I'm am down 7 lbs so far. But got some not so good new last week. The psychiatrist I saw in June wants me to see another psychiatrist to be evaluated for meds for OCD and binge eating prior to surgery. So I have to cancel my surgery date and set it back. I'm thinking I can do the surgery in December. I will find out tomorrow.

Hi thea... checking in to see how things are going....

I had to reschedule my surgery. I'm really bummed. But it gives me a chance to correct my eating habits and lose more weight. Thank you for asking. How are things with you.

bummer that it had t be rescheduled but Im sure they did it so that you will have the best results after its all over with... eh, Im ok... I just want to get this whole process over and done with... Im such an impatient person, lol... but Ive been thru it all once before (minus the actual surgery) and its just so repetitive... gained 5 lbs back of the 44 I had lost for pre-op so Im pissed... do you ind if I add you to my friends list???

The psych appt??? How come??? It was so easy!!!! My doc just asked about me like where I'm from, family medical history, what diets and exercise I've tried before, what meds I'm on. Only took 45 min! Nov will be here before u know it!

Psych appt because the first psych said I had OCD and binge eating disorder. Wanted me to see a therapist and another psych. I started to see them on Saturday. December 9th is my new surgery date.
