I'm 67 years old and looking forward to my surgery date. I'm told I probably have about a 2 month wait until everything lines up and insurance gives the go ahead. Until then, I'm slowly eliminating my trigger foods, takong re recommended supplements, reducing intake to at least half my usual amount. I like Premier Protein shakes and taking 2 a day. Lots of Water, which is easy for me as that's my go to when thirsty. I'm committed to doing what it takes to embark on this journey. I'll be there for you as I know you'll be there for me. Reach out and share...

Hi Sally. Born in Québec then grew up in Maine then worked in Boston. My son and daughter in law live in Mass and are in early preop testing stage as I am. I was in Boston October last year. Love the city! I now live in Tampa Florida. My son in Tampa was sleeved 2 years ago. Feels and looks fabulous...can't wait!

So glad for you, Dawn. I'll follow your journey and support any way I can. I'm still in testing to be cleared for surgery. God bless...

I had my surgery done in Miami, I'm from Citrus County FL, where the Manatees are right now [emoji4]

No date yet. All my paperwork is in. I have my endoscopy in two weeks and then meeting with surgery. My paperwork would be ready for submission on April 1st, so hoping not to long after. I'm curious to meet someone with experience with Tampa general and find out how long it takes to scheduled for surgery once the insurance approves.

All preop assessments and tests will be done mid March. After that, request is submitted to insurance then it's up to them to approve. So if all goes well, late March, or early April. I'm doing my part , the rest depends on others.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
