Hey there September sleevers! Any one out there?

Hi! I just started my journey and I am looking forward to chatting with those of you who are on a similar time-frame as myself. My insurance is Cigna so they require a 3 month supervised diet, psych eval and sign off from my primary (which I am worried about, I haven't seen him in 5 years so what if he wont sign off? should I find someone new? suggestions?)

I am aiming for an early September surgery date, my Dr. said it is doable! I am excited and nervous.

I have learned so much already from reading about everyone else's experience it has really helped to calm me down.

I feel like I am obsessed with this and it's all I can think about. I have probably watched 200 youtube videos so far. LOL

Any tips, tricks or advice is welcome and appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

    It seems like it has taken forever to get here but here I am! September 3rd! I leave at 4:00 a.m. for the hospital. Excited. A wee bit nervous and I haven't slept a wink. Instead I have been cleaning

    I don't know about the rest of you but I just had a moment where I realized that next 4th of July I will be nearly half my size. It made me *SMILE* Happy 4th everyone!!

Hey all. Just checking in. I finally hit onederland on Tuesday. I am 4 mos post op. I am a slow loser but atleast I'm losing. I have a tendency to lose a few pounds then stall a few days and lose again. It's been my cycle since the beginning. I had my 4 mos check with the NUT and she is happy with what I'm doing and all my levels were good, she says my weight loss is right where it should be. Guess I have nothing to complain about. I see the Dr on the 14th and I'm hoping to be down another 5 by that time. Keep your fingers crossed for me please.

Get out! I am so thrilled qnd jealous at the same time. ????

You will get there. It seemed like it took me forever, but then I lost like 6lbs in one week.

figured I would pop in and check up on all of you September Sleevers!

It has been almost 6 months!

wow!

flying by!

I hit onederland a bit ago but seem to be stuck like chuck in the 190's (not complaining mind you but it is frustrating)

so I need to focus and work a bit harder.

I hope that everyone is doing fantastic and feel free to post updates on how you are doing or what you are struggling with! As always the invite to join the September Sleevers facebook group is open, just send me an instant message!

I'm stuck too. I've been at 185 to 186 for the last 3 weeks. I really hope to break this stall soon.

ME TOO!!!

I try not to think about it! and my clothes sizes are going down and down but not the scale! LOL

Hello everyone! I am at 201 - almost to onderland and loving the journey. Loosing at about 1.5 to 3# a week.

I have slacked off on my water, so I need to tighten up on that. Otherwise going pretty well
