Does anyone have 60 pounds or less to lose and have chosen to do the sleeve?

I only have to do pre-op diet for 2 days. Seems so odd after reading on this site. I am trying to cut out carbs - maybe 8lbs. MsMe and Cutepretty1 - you are inspiration that I can do this!!

Thank you! That was a very nice comment.

Hi all,

I am 5'2 & my BMI is 35. I too have 55-60 lbs to lose. My surgery date is Tues Dec 8th. I would love to stay in touch. I'm supper nervous but excited. Good luck to everyone.

@@MsMe I am 5'2 with 36.6 BMI and surgery is tomorrow. How much have you lost during pre-op?

I am 5'1' was 189, bmi 36. I lost 12 lbs pre-op . I am down to 177 and have surgery tomorrow.

Super! I was 200 now I'm 189.

Hi All,

We are doing it!! Today is our big day. Super excited & nervous. I don't know how much pre-op weight I've lost, but I will know soon enough when I check in. Good Luck everyone!! XOXO

I was sleeved 6 months ago exactly. Started at 202. Now I weigh 144. I'm 5'2". I had multiple co-morbidities. Now I take no meds whatsoever. Best decision I ever made

I picked a goal that is 60 pounds less than surgery weight. Not sure if I will get there or whether I will want to but time will tell. My surgery was October 1st (revision from lapband) and already I am almost halfway to goal. No complaints

I have abou 60-70 to lose. I'm worried about losing too much weight. From what i'm reading people are losing 100 plus lbs, that would be too much!! How can maintain a weight were comfortable with?

i had mine oct 6th. i needed to lose 65 pounds. so far i am down 35 pounds. i am so close to my goal of 115!!!

I need to lose 60. My surgery was 10/26 217. Today 193. Only 24 lbs down in 6 weeks (not sure why soooo slow). Want to get to 133. I'm 5'6".

Fingers crossed.

I did a revision from band to sleeve back in 5/19/15..i was 226 pounds. Band had slipped out of place and had to come out. Insurance approved it no questions asked. At first i was hesitant because of the fear of getting denial. Weight started dropping slowly since my target goal weight was not much to drop considering my height of 6"1 bmi should be at around 25. Currently going almost 7 months post op and weighing 179 pounds. I truly thought the weight loss would be much slower but i guess is all about how body anatomy truly is different from men/women.. Weight will drop for sure just need to keep on and be patient. There are days were it may feel like is not gonna work but it truly does.. Hang in there and this forum is hear to help you in times of need..

My surgery is 12/30. What a great way to start 2016!

That is 4 pound average per week. I don't think you are going slow at all! Keep it up

I need to lose 60. My surgery was 10/26 217. Today 193. Only 24 lbs down in 6 weeks (not sure why soooo slow). Want to get to 133. I'm 5'6".

Fingers crossed.

My surgery date is scheduled for December 23, 2015. 13 days and counting. I'm still waiting for my approval and i call my insurance company every day and they say, "it's pending". I'm getting a little nervous and anxious! I currently weigh 204 and my goal weight is 140 so I am right with you all 50 - 60 pounds and hopefully more. I'm just looking forward to getting off all these medications and living a healthy life.

I had about 60 pounds to lose, was sleeved in late June 2015, as of today I've lost 65 pounds.

Great decision..... good luck!!

I have 45 left.

I am in that category as well. I'm in the beginning stages and waiting for a consultation which I hope will happen this week and then I will know if I will be accepted. I'm self pay in Canada and I'm expecting to have my surgery in Toronto.

I am the same as you guys. I would like to lose between 60 and 80 lbs. the weird thing is that I feel almost guilty for having such a "smaller" amount to lose compared to many others. But in the same breath I know that the stuggle is no less significant. I feel exactly the same as someone who needs to lose 250. The internal struggle is real and valid.
