Fgf: What Are You Doing Today To Get To Your Goal?
Swimmer replied to LilMissDiva Irene's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Sticking to my pre op diet, also self imposed. It does make it harder. Trying to work out and walk as much as possible before my surgery, it's almost time. I'm very excited. I'm praying I have success like so many of you all! Also nesting at home it feels similar to when u had the kids trying to prepare everything. -
Congrats you are doing great. I can't wait to join you soon!

I can't seem to see the tickers so was curious. If you are comfortable what was your high weight, surgery weight and weight two months out? It seems like many lose about forty by two months. Is the loss much higher for higher bmi patients, I'm starting around 30 bmi by surgery date? Thanks!

Trying To Figure Out Expectations...
Swimmer replied to Swimmer's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Wow 40 in a month! Way to go I bet you are feeling great! Very good point about the excess weight. I was hoping for forty in about two months. I have a total of about 70 to go. I hanger not had a pre op diet really just did out on my own since getting close to my date and have taken off about twenty so far. Thanks for the responses. I love this site. I've learned so much here! -

Sugery Is Jan 30 Anybody Else?
Swimmer replied to SpaceyCasey's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm on the 25th. I'm very excited, but really haven't told many people. I guess I fear I will somehow fail once again. But I'm ready and hopeful for my future. Best wishes all! -
My New Year's Wishes For You, My Sleeve Family....
Swimmer replied to favoredone's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Love it, and all the same to you. I'm very excited for my journey. This site has been such a wonderful resource for me. I truly enjoy reading about everybodies victories and stories. I don't feel as alone with this struggle and love that so many here get it and have the same hopes and fears I do. Much love. -
Looks like it's either the 11th or 25th depends on the surgeon. I hope to find out very soon. As much as I really want it done now so the 11th would be faster, my dh is out of the country that day and with the kids and hospital being over an hour and a half away I guess I'm hoping for the 25th. I'm so ready to have this done, but realize it's for the rest of my life. Patience is something I need to work on.

How Much Weight Did You Lose On Your Pre Gastric Sleeve Surgery Diet?
Swimmer replied to jasleeve's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was told the same thing. I know they were able to get extra days covered for me with my csecs due to complications. I'm assuming this might be similar? -

/#rant/ I'm So Upset And Getting Impatient!
Swimmer replied to Mel34's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
The same thing happened to me. It had to be faxed three times before they found it attached to another person's file. Then today I called twice to the office to schedule and nobody called back. Frustrated. But so thrilled to be approved. You have to stay on top of things more than I'm used to and nobody seems to feel the urgency I do, lol. -
