"starting their period"??? REALLY????? LOL. Auto correct!

Starting their PREOP!

<Whew> I'm SO glad you followed up on that post (I was actually waiting to see if you would). I was thinking when I originally read it..."wow...that escalated fast..." LOL...but figured, hey we're all friends, perhaps we need to encourage each other during that 'time'.

Thank you autocorrect...you continue to provide hours and hours of reading enjoyment!

Thanks for the giggle today! :D

December 20th at Obesity Control Center. Was originally shooting for January, but work schedule allowed for an earlier date. Nothing like ruining the holidays with a surgery :) but I've spent MONTHS researching and planning and I'm ready to Git er dun! Hopefully my excitement can carry me through the pre op diet without strangling anyone.

Hi, I'm Elizabeth and hope to confirm my December date soon. Going for all my pre-op testing this week so it will be a busy time! Look forward to having some friends here to chat with along the way.

It's funny, but I have been going through the process for most of this year to prepare for the surgery and get through all the pre approval process, which is now done. Yet it was today that I finally told my mother that I was doing this. I wasn't going to tell her (lots of family drama) but I'm glad I did now. She is supportive and wants to be with me so I'm feeling good about that.

Anyway, hello everyone!

Hi! My name is Robin. I'm 5'5 and 300 pds. My goal weight is between 140-150 pds. I am soo happy to be able to say I have a scheduled date!! I'm due to be operated on Dec 16th. My doctor is Dr. Yatco at Lenox Hill Hospital in Nyc. I have a few tests to complete which should be done after tomorrow with my primary doctor and then I meet with the surgeon on the 20th. I'm excited and nervous. I love reading about other people's successes and drawbacks. I've been going to youtube increasingly these days to follow other people's video journeys as well. I think it's a great resource.

Welcome Everybody!!

Hi Robin! You and I share similar stats! It will be neat going through this together! I am 5"4 and about 306. I would also hope to get to about 145 (have no recollection of being that weight so I have NO idea what that would be like but I'm excited to find out!!)

Welcome to the group! My surgery date is the 13th

I don't have a weight loss goal before surgery either. The 14 day pre-op is to make sure you've reduced the glycogen in your liver so that it is as small as possible because it sits above the stomach. At least that is how the doctor explained to me.

In additon, I was told to make sure I am careful with my weight not for the surgery but because of my BMI. Since my BMI was under 50, but only by 2 points, gaining weight will put me at 50 or above and that would require I have the pulmonary tests and that could set my surgery back a month or two, until I under went those tests. . Not sure if anyone else falls in this same category, but becareful, just in case.

my BMI is over 50, but my doctor isn't having me do any pulmonary tests. Then it seems every doctor is different.

      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...

      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
