NUT and consult apps tomorrow, yay!!! I can't wait to get this ball rolling!

RSM by Mission Viejo, you?

That's amazing!!!!

Love this!!! There is so much in my life that is right already, so this list seems pretty superficial. But here it is: 1. Family portrait 2. Join local scuba dive club that I've been lurking on for a year 3. Take a dream trip (again diving) with a single parents group 4. Meet mr right, and fall in love again. 5. Buy a new wardrobe 6. Be a lap swimmer, like every day before work 7. Learn how to do yoga 8. Play active sports with my kids 9. Get a mommy makeover (TT and lift) 10. Teeth bleached

Hoping to be around this time as well, fingers crossed... Where in so cal? I'm in OC

OC here!

Hi everyone! I'm a newbie, and am starting my process. Looking to get sleeved by the end of the year as a xmas/birthday present to myself. Turning 42 in January, and since I'm 30 I've been on EVERY diet in the book. Done with all of that, and making a decision to change my life forever! Can't wait to get to know you all. BTW, I'm in South Orange County.

Hey all! I'm new here, have my consult, nut appt on the 15th and dr appt on the 18th. Hope to do my psych veal soon and get approved for late November... I really don't wanna do it in dec, but it is what it is...

I'm pre-op still but I have read so many people talk about the 3 week stall... Metabolisms are weird. Drink a ton of water, stay the course and it will come off... I'm hoping to only weigh in monthly for this reason. Don't know how I'll do with that, but I'll try!

Congrats!!!! How do they do a leak test? I'm hoping to get sleeved in Nov/Dec...

This... All of it! I'm definitely saying all of this. Love it!

Hi all, I'm pre-op and looking at what my RDA's will be after surgery. Please weigh in and tell me what your RDA's are for cals, fat, protein & carbs. If any of you track your diaries on My Fitness Pal, and want another buddy on there, please give me your name and I'll send you a friend request! I need as much info as I can get, and they allow me to manually enter my nutrition goals. Thanks!!

I'm 0caligirl0 on MFP, feel free to add me as a friend!

Has anyone had it sweet for breakfast? Think almond milk, berries and a bit of sweetener or honey.

I'm in South OC, just starting my journey and will be going to Dr. Peter LePort in Fountain Valley.

I'm pre op, and I'm hoping to lose about 110-120lbs. I'm expecting to need/get a TT and breast lift, but wanted to know if there's any way I can avoid having to get my arms done. Any suggestions?

Well, I know you have to decide what's best for you. I'm a single mom too, and KNOW my BMI of 40 is keeping me from living my life. I'm dine being a slave to what I've done to my body. I'm ready to move on. All the best to you. Btw, I'm not telling 90% of the people in my life.

This describes me to a T! I looked into bypass 8 years ago, went thru all the pre appointments, even the psych eval... Didn't get approved. Then, tried Medifast, lost about 35 pounds, and have gained it all back, lost and gained again like 100 times since then. I'm just done! I like the sleeve idea much better than the bypass. Not sure exactly why but it sounds better. Anyways, I made the call on Monday, and got initial info from insurance, found the in-network provider, sent in information forms and they verified my insurance. I have my initial consult and NUT consult scheduled for Oct. 15th, my medical eval scheduled for Oct. 18th, and then will only need to get my psych eval done (as far as I know at this point). They said I could expect to have a surgery date approx 8 weeks from now! Maybe around xmas time? I hope so!!!!
