I made it... I met my 8 week weigh in goal. In fact I did so well I'm a pound under my goal. I had to loose 5% of my weight before the surgery could be scheduled. I've done it! I'm so proud of myself.

Congrats on your weight loss. I can almost hear your excitement through your words.

Best wishes for your upcoming surgery. I can't wait to read about your continued progress after you're banded.

See ya on the boards,

Good for you. I'm doing my liquid protein diet currently for my upcoming surgery on the 20th. I need to lose 15-20lbs from my first consult appointment. But that's getting me worried cause I did my first consult visit back in Nov 07, but didn't start seriously with everything until April 08. I have gained weight since then. Was anyone ever denied surgery due to not enough weight loss?

At my dr's office yes, but they also work with them to get their weight require ments off.

Good luck

Teri
