Who is with me in the 6 month wait? January/Feburary 2016 surgery

[butterfly** 39]

Hi. I'm a January/February 2016 sleeve also. I started in August and was initially disappointed about my 6 month monitored weight requirement but now I don't mind. The holidays are stressful enough, I don't need to throw a surgery and life changing event in the middle of them. I've been researching what to eat at all the different phases so I feel I will be well prepared. Looking forward to speaking with you all as we go through this together.

Hi butterfly, it looks like I may have a February surgery too. I, like you, was also originally disappointed in the six month wait. Now, I am glad, so that I can get started with some new habits to help me on my journey after surgery.

If you are looking to slim down and improve your overall appearance, then it is important that you choose the best weight loss program suitable to your needs and condition. However, you may find it somewhat confusing and overwhelming finding the right program that suits you considering the number of choices available.

I just recently had my 2nd check in son only 4 more to go. I basically stayed the same but am proud of that as I also quit smoking and I figured I would gain! But it was a learning lesson for me as just counting calories didn't work so now I'm concentrating on carbs and will see how that works out this next month.

Hi, everyone. I'm new to this site and expect to have revision from band to bypass in Jan / Feb. I'm started the 6 month nutrition on Jun 30 - and just completed all the other hoops except cardiac clearance.

My big news is that last Friday, 9.26.2015, I gave up a 50 year diet Coke habit cold turkey. I am 63 and started at 13. The only other time I quit for a significant length of time was for 3 months with the lap band and 9 months with pregnancy.

I have decided that this 6 month NUT period is like being pregnant with the new me. Putting me first is new to me, and I am very proud of myself.

Looking forward to sharing this journey with all of you!

I've got two PCP monitored weight loss appointments left and I finished my psych eval. Which was the last of the program related hurdles.

It's getting close. It's getting real and I'm getting a little scared.

Happy to hear everyone is chugging along towards January!

I have completed all of my surgical requirements except for the remainder of my nutritionist appointments. October is my 3rd nutritionist appointment so I'm almost half way there! ????

If everything goes as I hope I will vsg/rny in January 2016

I have my consultation scheduled. I'm so dang nervous I may have to be on supervised diet. Idk if my heart can handle it. I have been actively trying to loose since April 2015. Sigh 10 pounds down is all I get. :(

Fingers crossed

You can do this! I have the same problem with not being able to lose any meaningful weight....
