Hi Everyone,

I finally got my surgery date for June 8!!!
It’s really strange to me how excited I am about this!
I would love to share this journey with others scheduled in June!
I think it would be so helpful if we can help each other through this experience!

I want to be honest, since I see so many success stories here and I know I can't be the only one struggling.

I am not doing well at all. I did lose about 50 pounds, which was great, but since then, I have been stuck at around the same weight since November. I haven't really gained any weight, but I also haven't lost any since then. It's strange. My body is just stuck. So, I have hovered between 250 and 255 since November and cannot get out of that area. I cannot seem to get below 250.

I'm not sure if this is my body rebelling. Because prior to last year when I reached my highest weight of over 300 pounds, I had weighed around 250-260 for about 5 years or so.

It's frustrating because it feels like the surgery was a waste right now. Maybe I will be able to get out of this rut soon and start losing again. I don't know. I feel like I am losing hope.

Yay to your 50 lbs weight loss! What a great accomplishment!

Weight loss varies between people and from month to month. The moral: Run your race.

I have found that rejoicing with those who rejoice does wonders for my own soul and mental game. Best of luck!

How are the June 2021 people??

Can you believe that it has almost been a year?! @Tripletsmom1971: your numbers look fantastic! I am plugging away. Weight loss is definitely going slower, but still fairly steady. I am enjoying taking up less space, for sure ? I am curious to know how everyone else is doing too!

I’m struggling a bit, weight loss is very, very slow. BUT diabetes is GONE! I’ve adjusted to my new lifestyle and love my long daily walks, just wish the scale would budge, I’ve been hovering around the same number for 6 weeks

Height: 5’6”

Starting weight at surgery: 278

June 10,2021, gastric sleeve

Current weight: 146

Total lost: 132 pounds

Almost there! Best thing I’ve ever done. ?

I can't hardly believe it's been almost a year! YOU are doing GREAT! I am loving "less space" taking up! I feel like the weight loss was slow, I felt "stuck and hovering" around the same # for a LONG few months! I kept on doing my thing, it's slowly coming off. I am ALMOST to ONEDERLAND!

Diabetes, GONE! YOU go girl!! We are doing this! The "hovering", I do that too. But my body is evidently changing, sometimes people (I feel like) go WAY too far with the "look how SKINNY you are!" I am clearly NOT "skinny", lol. SOOOOO many NSV!! I don't even realize "what" all I had been MISSING in life! In 2 days, we are going on vacation in California. It's been SOO liberating to NOT have to worry about "activity levels and weight limits"!!

Hello everyone,

I’m scheduled for surgery on June 15th. I’m very excited but scared too. Any advice?

I’m scheduled for June 15 as well.

Happy Monday June surgeries! I meet with my surgeon today and hopefully I will get a June surgery date. My daughter will accompany because hubs is on travel till Friday. I think the only thing that will be more exciting for me than today will be the day of surgery.
Fingers crossed!!!!

I just got my surgery date and I am June 8 as well!
My pre-op testing has been done for weeks…I have to have a negative COVID test when I check in on 6/8.
I’m having RNY, a massive hiatal hernia repair (surgeon’s words not mine), and my gallbladder removed.
I’ve been doing the liver reduction in earnest for a week, I have lost 10 lbs and I will stay on it till surgery.

Good luck to you! 6/8 will be here in no time at all. ?

June 15th here, also!!! I'm so ready for this!

Hello everyone! I am new to the group and I'm so happy to be here! I have completed all my pre op procedures and I am just waiting for my date - I am assuming it would be early June. I have a question for those who are using insurance - how much do you pay out of pocket after insurance contribution?
