I’m so excited, my insurance approved in less than a day! My dream of being sleeved this year is coming true! I have a surgery date of December 20, a wonderful early Christmas present. I know for me it was important deductible wise to get surgery in this calendar year but I didn’t think it would happen.

Haven't told anybody in my family that I was getting the sleeve I am scheduled for surgery the 27th of November Sent from my SM-N920P using BariatricPal mobile app

Frankette...wishing you a good outcome, no matter if your surgery is on schedule or delayed. It's important to walk after surgery to prevent blood clots, so perhaps that's part of his hesitation? Wishing you good health and a safe surgery:) So sorry for the setback!

Oh, and I also get full down in the belly. As soon as you feel that, stop eating. That's your signal. (It does go away quickly, but your meal is done, regardless).

Jan 17th, 2017 ... ?? Or did you mean 2018?

My surgeon did warn of the bounce-back, he said it's normal to bounce back 5-10 pounds when you settle into maintenance so he set my goal 10 pounds less than where he wants me to be long term. That being said I also say maintain your body where it feels most comfortable for you. My surgeons goal is 175 with 185 long term so that's slightly above normal BMI for me but at almost 5'11" I feel pretty comfortable where I am right now (185-188) If I lose more great, but if I don't at least I'm at a place where Im much healthier.
