Woohoo, finally got my surgery date....October 17th!!! Who's my surgery twin? Let's share and keep checking in pre-op and post-op. I'm 5'8" and was diagnosed with PCOS 2 years ago when I realized everything I tried to do to lose weight failed. I started my journey in April of this year and I've completed my 6 month requirements on September 6th. My surgeon (Dr. Merola) submitted my paperwork to the insurance (Emblem Health HIP NY) yesterday. Just waiting on my approval.

HW: 317

CW: 315

GW: 1st- 250, 2nd- 200, 3rd- 170

HI I would like to ask what type of questions did the psychologist asked? Asking because I don’t want want to answer wrong. I am also with hip

MissT-SR Doing well, 2 weeks out of surgery and finally feeling well. Off of blood pressure med #1, and #2 cut in half already! Just wishing I could have a Sprite! haha

Fibro Queen, glad to hear you are feeling a bit better. I had creamy tomato soup today and it was heavenly:)

oh I bet ALM! I'm not allowed any tomato product until 12 weeks out! wonder if my Dr is just very cautious??

Hi all,

Surgery on 10/17 went well, no complications. Stayed in the hospital overnight. Only pain I had was the gas that was stuck in my ribcage/chest area which subsided by day 4. I lost 15 lbs since surgery and have hit a stall. I haven't lost any more weight for the last 10 days. I know everyone hits a stall between week 2-4 post op, but it's so frustrating. How's everyone else doing?

Dont let stall get int your head...try getting your protein in the morning, and stay active..

you will pass this stage and back to drop those pounds... personally I think went throught that at my 7th month post op... now Slowing down in weight loss approx 2 lbs per week (with 4 to 5 x workouts per week)...

I guess it all depends on whats your BMi, peps

with higher BMI will loose higher number of pounds per week.

.keep going and dont give up, dont let scale trick you...

Thank you for the encouragement. I upped my protein to an extra protein shake at night. Let's see if that helps.

Surgery was 10/17... lost 18 since day of surgery, a bit of a stall right now as well but it I know it will keep coming off. So happy that i am onto mushies, helps make me feel more “normal”.
