Hello. I started my process for my sleeve 4/2/2014. I will be having my surgery around September 9 or 10th. I have to do a 4 week diet starting in August. I also have to have my EGD 8/1/2014 and a vascular study 7/29/31. I am so excited and ready for this life changing experience. My doctor's office should be submitting my packet for approval by Monday. I would love a buddy too. I am in VA.

Hi Nika I am also in VA, possibly with surgery being done mid August early September I will know this week after my pcp sends his clearance to my surgeon's office

I'm a little nervous- my medical weight management appt is on Tuesday. I'm only about 10 pounds down from my appt in April- the reason is I've just started to modify diet and exercise- my bmi was 42.2, so I didn't want to go in full mode of watching everything and lose too much before they even submit to insurance.

I feel like I'm doing very mindful eating, cut out pop ( huge coke fan, and I haven't had for about 5 weeks).

I do so much better M-F, weekends are hard to stay on task-

I think that I can have another 10 off before pre-op diet starts-

It would be great to have 25 pounds off before surgery?

What pre surgery goals are you Sept sleeves working towards?

Hi all! I'm booked for sleeving on 15th September... I'm from Queensland, Australia.

It's all happened very quickly for me, I only started this journey in May. I have been very fortunate.

Good luck everyone!

I'm hoping for a September date. I'm working through an 8 week skills class required by the surgeon. In 2 weeks they'll submit for insurance approval but I won't get a date until the class ends on September 9th. I'm hoping for the end of the month.

      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.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
