I have told my husband, our 4 children, my mom and my 2 BFF.... however my mother has told everyone even though I tell her not to and its my choice who knows. She said my brother had a right to know... I am not telling because its my life and my choice. I don't need other peoples opinions and I am tired of people saying "its the easy way out" I was always skinny but after having our triplets my weight got out of control. They are now 10 and I am tired of the yo yo dieting... I just want only positive people around me...

Congrats!!!! Its an exciting time and this support forum and s amazing

Windham, NH

My starting weight is 243 and my surgeon wants me to lose 30 before my surgery on March 14th and he said he's looking at me only dropping about 60 pounds however I would love to get down to 140 anybody else in at zone

Meet my surgeon, Dr Brams this Friday .... Hope he has my surgery date

5'3 starting weight 243.... Hoping to get down to 150.

Windham, NH here. Being sleeved 3/14 @ Lahey Clinic in Burlington

I have vitamin d BEFORE surgery and now take 1000mgs a day.

Heard from my nurse and everything looks good, preop on 2/21 for 2 hours and then liquid diet til surgery on 3/14.... Lord make it come fast enough

These are my same #'s and when I told my doctor my goal of 140 he chuckled. He said probably about 160

Definitely going to do this!

I had a home study that was negative however my dr wants an in-house hospital one.... My insurance denied due to home study being negative... The specialist said 100% sure I have apnea. Nothing has been booked for sleep study but surgery is booked for 3/14... Hope this does not change my surgery date

Amen! The simple things in life.

Welcome to the group. I finish my 6 months the end of Feb with sleeve scheduled on 3/14.

What were your before and after #'s? You look absolutely amazing

How are you feeling? Wishing you a healthy revocery.

I can't wait for my surgery in March and have before and after pics

Fingers crossed and wish you the best of Luck

March 14th here!!!!!

Me too. My surgery is 3/14... Congrats

I am two months out for my surgery my surgeon has suggested an early start on the liquid diet one protein shake for breakfast one for lunch chicken and broccoli or green for dinner anyone else have to do this

I was informed by my surgeon that the pain in the incisions are very similar to my gallbladder surgery. I never had any issues or pain with that so fingers crossed that this will be the same. I'm glad that you have some help and I'm hopeful that your recovery will be speedy and less painful
