I say Go for it. I was 30 lbs down 2 months after surgery but I'm a slow loser so for you it might be more. And it was noticeable. That's if you would like to look slimmer. Now if you want to enjoy and eat and drink and have fun then wait. This way you can eat a regular size meal with your family eat your cake drink wine and other stuff you won't be able to eat after surgery. You sound like you don't mine waiting a few more weeks so if you could wait it out do so and enjoy your wedding. If I were in your shoes I would have done it because I was just desperate. But my psych gave me some good advice when I saw her in November..... Wait until after the holidays and enjoy. My opinion if you don't mind waiting then wait. Ou can always renew your vowels next year with the new you. Congrats!!!

Nope not stupid at all. 12 weeks out as of tomorrow and full to has always felt like taking a bite of a huge bagel without butter cream cheese... With out anything. Just dry. And feeling it go down slowly... That's when I know I'm full when those extra bites feel that way. By everyone is different so ppl might have a different feeling and describe a different scenario. Good luck.

I am 10 weeks out and down 32lbs. Your body is still adjusting. Try contacting your nutritionist. I have hit several stalls. I try to eat every 2 hours and drink as much liquid as possible. Everyone is different. at 5 weeks i was only 17lbs down. Believe me the slower the better. Don't get discouraged my starting weight was 265 and I know that without the sleeve I would have been somewhere in the 270s already. Good Luck!

Hey Jenny. Congrats. I am 23. 10 weeks out and I am 32lbs down. Today, my only regret is not getting this done sooner. My BIGGEST supporter besides my immediate family is everyone on this site. Without this site I would feel so alone because no one else knows what your going through. Ask away!! Good Luck and congrats again.

I started my 6 months last year in April. Just try to do all your pre tests before your 6 months this way once September comes you'll be 100 percent done and then you can proceed to submit to insurance. I procrastinated a lot. September came and left and I still hadn't seen the pulmonary specialist or gotten a psych eval. Then They submitted to my insurance got approved and need to wait 1 month and a half to finally meet the surgeon but 1 weeks before that I got a call that my hospital will no longer take my insurance. I was so depressed. but thank goodness i saw a few other docs during my process (in hopes to find someone who would tell me i didnt need the 6 months and all the extra pre op exams) Anywho sorry for the long story. Good luck!

You look awesome!

Congrats. Your under 200 in 5 months. That is my goal lol. The other day I was a little upset and discouraged and a strange thought came to my mind. I would have probably been up 5 lbs instead of down 32lbs if i hadn't gotten sleeved 10 weeks ago. This thought gave me so much motivation. I found a pare of slacks size 16 i'm not sure who the own of this was (whether it was my moms or my old pants) but when i slipped that baby on without any issues I was in a daze. People at work notice every single day that i am looking much slimmer. I am so happy. I am 6 lbs away from being 227 which is how much i weighed when my bf and i started dating 5 years ago. I remember being comfortable at 227 so I can imagine when i hit 199. I'm looking at the bright side of this all and i couldn't be more happy. Congrats!

After surgery that will be your basic diet instructions. Low carbs or no carbs and all the protein you can get.

I got sleeved on 3/19. my first period was weird i got it in April. I was almost 2 weeks late until i got my period yesterday. Our body is still going through alot of changes. Try to contact your gyn. Good Luck!

I dont think you will lose your insurance unless you need to recertify again. You only recertify once a year.

I'm 10 weeks post. I regretted the first 2 days. My only regret was not getting it done years ago. I am 32lbs down and loving it. As time goes by you will be able to eat and drink more and tolerate the food much better. Good Luck!

My first stall happened 5 days after surgery. I was stalled for 4 weeks. Then I lost some lbs for 3 weeks and then I stalled for 3 weeks. I lost more lbs and now I'm stalled again. I am convinced that is how my body is working. Lose the weight stall for a few weeks lose some more. Be patient. Remember everyone is different. Good Luck!

I guess some people do it to be nice. IDK. but they don't know our struggle. People constantly told me your not that fat, your too young, it doesnt work. blah blah then you dont do it!!!!. If i listened to these people I would not have been weighing 233.9lbs today (10 weeks out) I would have probably gained 5 pounds and have been eating all the wrong stuff. When they tell you that next time just tell them thank you. SO imagine how great i'll look after surgery! Good Luck!!! these next 4 months will fly by.

I can understand if she wants to cover up her surgery with that pill its no biggie because she isn't hurting anyone and she is only fooling herself . But to lie to people. And she was most likely vulnerable just like everyone who just wants a quick fix. Why doesn't she just say the truth I had this surgery and when i couldn't lose that extra 3 lbs this pill helped me. She is not a friend. I would be ashamed to do something like that. I feel like there are a lot of people out there like her and we will never know. I remember saying things like why this person lost the weight and i couldn't. I would call her surgeon lol not to be mean but that's fraud and probably illegal. Please don't trust this friend because if she's doing this to strangers imagine what she would do to you.

I did it 5 days post op lol. My sex drive is crazy one day and the next i'm just like mmm no... lol just like its was pre-op.. no change.

Congrats... I will be 2 months out on Monday. If i were getting married in 2 weeks i'd be a little stressed especially since i've hit my second stall. I'd want to lose a little more before. Than I'd be worried about my wedding dress not fitting me well HOWEVER... i am 27.3 lbs down and you can really tell and I would be very happy to have at least lost some lbs before the wedding. I can eat a little more now... so my only worry would be feeling too full when eating but its all about control. You will be fine. believe me. i feel really good now. No pain at all and no difficulty eating or drinking has long as i take small bites and chew chew chew. Congrats!!!

I'm down 27 lbs and i took a picture at the gym and my upper body makes me look soooo skinny. then i look down and my tummy is still there lol

Lol what respect ? He's a politician. Not someone here on the forum that we are brain washing and forcing to have the sleeve.

That's awesome I love kris christy. It was about time too. But unless he has the mindset for it..... I c him getting sleeved in the future. My surgeon refuses to do the lap band on his patients. He says the only way he'll do it is if the person is too over weight. He do the lap band have them loose 100lbs and then do the sleeve or bypass.

Have all the paperwork you had done with that doc sent to your surgeons office this way when you switch docs you can start off where you left off.

Sorry for the late response. I live in manhattan. Please switch your doc.

What's msm

Hey ladies... I met with a gyn who recommended me the nuva ring vs mirena. What kind of bc are you guys using. And how do you like it. Thanks for sharing.
