Hi, I’m 21 and going through the process of getting sleeved. I’ve went to my first seminar, did my blood work, did my psych evaluation, got my insurance approved (HAP), and next week is my surgeon consultation along with my nutrition/exercise class. I guess my question is when did you guys get your surgery date? Do I have a lot more to do to get mine or am I close? Because I’m really, really excited

I totally agree! I’m willing to wait however long it takes. What’s different now compared to then?

Ty, and congrats on makig this decision, it will be hard, the tip i can give u, i did a jouney book starting with my heaviest weight photos and the labs the doctor ordered, the first diets, photos of my surgery day before and after surgery, my first meals, thoughs, and stuff, when i feel like sad or depressed i look at that book and i remember myself why i chose this path. If u would like to see my book/ ask question or something just give me a number or an email and i would be happy to share my experience with you

Congratulations 🎉!! You are almost there. It shouldn't take to long. After I finished all my doctors visits and all my evaluations it took about 1 month for me because I wasn't able to do it earlier since I had some things that I had to take care of before being ready for Surgury. Best of luck.

You welcome. Only advice is to get yourself prepared by having everything you need for each stage after your Surgury so you have peace of mind that you are going to follow everything according. Go grocery shopping for what you need for a few weeks. It's easier that way. 😀

My insurance required six months of doctor supervised weight loss visits before approval. So I did all the other stuff on my checklist during that time. By the time my six months was up we were able to submit for approval and had a date about a week later.

I'm two and a half years post sleeve and down 130 pounds. Converted to a bypass ten days ago thanks to horrible reflux but it's still the best decision I ever made. It's a lot of hard work but it gave me a whole new life.

      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!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
