In the process right now of making a decision. My doctor just became certified in robotic assisted surgery. I have the option to agree to him doing surgery that way on me. Not sure how I feel though. Anyone elses surgeon do surgery that way?

@@Seastars pre-op testing is some lab work, ekg, going over day of instructions, verifying medications you take, other medical questions. When I had my scope my pre-op only took about 30min. They also do a pregnancy test on women as standard procedure.

Thank you. My surgeon had me do all the testing a few weeks ago, but I will meet with the team again for instructions a few days before surgery.

Yes, my physician does. I'd want to know how much experience your doctor has had with robotic surgery before I'd personally feel comfortable, though.

June 20th here in Alabama and I'm excited and nervous. Good luck to you all. Please keep us updated!

I'm 6 days post op and finally back at work. I'm feeling good and not hungry at all so far. My worries have now shifted to being one with a low beginning bmi amd being a slow loser. I know it shouldn't matter as long as it comes off eventually but I want to see fast loss too like others I've watched. My highest weight was 206 surgery weight 193 current weight is 186

My dietician was just talking about this today. (I am still pre-op.) She said that especially for lower BMIs, there is an early stall about the 3 week mark, that may last about a week. She predicted I'd lose about 10-15 pounds the first and second months, then stall again. And I thought for a moment, why should I go through serious surgery just to lose at a diet-only pace? And then I remembered that dieted-off weight always comes back, haha.

Anyway, so maybe figure that these 7 pounds you've lost in 6 days (!) are PERMANENTLY gone, wahooo! Also, your skin will benefit from a slower loss.

It's great to hear your success so far. I am hoping for similar!
