June 2014 Dates!?

[masonjk38 22]

Hey Junies,

Saw my surgeon today for pre-op appointment. They finally have me what goal weight to shoot for which 161lbs (HW 288, CW 268). They told me this is 80% of my excess body weight and that is the only guarantee of what the BP is able to accomplish, although some folks are able to loose 100%.

They used some kind of complicated formula to figure thus out. They said the others charts will say 134 would be the ideal weight for a 5'5" 50 year old female. I thinking I will look for a size 10 and whatever pounds that ends up being I will be satisfied as long as I am healthy and off all meds!!!

I am three days out. Just had my first shake with no problems. I also have nO pain at all and I had 4 procedures done. I've talked to some people that didn't have any pain. It feels like I didn't do anything. Hopefully that will put some at ease.

I just started top have gas today but that's not bad either but I've been walking a lot

Me too! I'm June 9th as well and had a mini panic attack last night--thinking too much about the possible complications, but then I read Annamarie's post today and felt reassured.

I told my family I don't care how much I whine and complain get me walking on the hour every hour, even if you both have to hold each arm!!!

You'll walk no worried. The first time up you'll be shaky but then you'll be shocked at how well you can walk and how good it makes you feel. Good luck.
