I'm about halfway through my appts for VSG surgery at Richmond Kaiser with Dr. Albert Im. He seems like a wonderful Surgeon. Im just curious if theres anyone else on here who is going through the process at the same location as me.

It's not that bad. Her personality is just so blah... make sure you know what you ate for Breakfast, lunch and dinner. Make sure you have an exercise regimen and she's going to know what you mastered from "planning for success" Have you been to a support group?

Mostaedi! I love him, he's also going to do an exploratory laparoscopy for me to look for endometriosis at the same time. Who is yours?

Surgery is scheduled. My hubs is scheduled for 12/21 and I'm 1/9. Liz put me on a cancel list and said it's very possible I'll be moved up.

Congrats @@krissyfattofab! I met with psych today and am 5 lbs over my goal weight loss! I'm waiting for Liz to call to schedule an appointment with her. So is 1/9 the week they are scheduling right now? Things are moving along so quickly! I'm starting to get excited!

Thanks @necarv. I am 10 lower than goal and want to lose more just in case

with all the Christmas parties coming up. For Baggs yes. My hubs took the last opening with Baggs this year but Liz is expecting cancellations considering the holidays.

Hey Everyone, It's been quite awhile since I started this Thread, and since Ive posted on it. I haven't been active on this site anymore, I had to delete the app to make room for some updates, haha.

Some current stats for me are:

Surgery date July 13th, 2016 Gastric Sleeve with Dr. Mostaedi at Richmond Kaiser

Heaviest weight January 2016 290lbs

Surgery weight July 13th 2016 242.2lbs

Current weight today November 30th 2016 170.1lbs

I'm almost 27yrs old, 5'6 inches.

Started at a size 22-24

Currently in a size 8/M

My shoe size went back down from an 11 to a 10 which is very exciting for me!

I have some loose skin on my tummy, and under my arms, my butt and thighs are also kinda saggy, but I'm working on those now with some kettlebell workouts.

Here are some before and After pics of me.
