Hi just wondering does everyone have to loose 10-20 pounds before surgery? My doctor hasn't told me anything yet, and at my second diatician meeting today I went from 295 to 289! 6 pounds! Now since I'm 289 will I still need to loose more?? How much are/were you and how much did you have to loose??

I keep trying NOT to think about it. Every. Single. Time. I think about it I EAT. They told me at dr attias office the other day I gained 8 pounds since the last time I went. (Someone told me his scale is 5 pounds high though).. Idk i know I've been eating a lot lately. Stress gorging. Anxiety eating. Ugh.

You guys are so funny. I have no food ornaments but two ornaments one of my sons classmates made for everyone last year out of food I guess... They smell like cinnamon and as soon as I opened the tote my ornaments were in and smelled the cinnamon I made my boyfriend go to walmart and buy me the fiber one 90 cal cinnamon coffee cakes oh my god they are sooo good!!

Hey process is going well I have 1 more diatician meeting on the 16th and 1 more group meeting in elmer on the 18th. Then dr attia is promising he will squeeze me in before the 31st when my insurance runs out. I had a nightmare about having huge holes in my belly the other night. I also just read someone's thing about having surgery yesterday and having a hard time breathing.. That gives me anxiety. I don't know why I'm freaking myself out. Have u started the liquid diet yet?

Why are u having trouble breathing?!? Who did ur surgery?

Oh ok cool! Just making sure it was you.

That is an awesome question although I don't have the answer I'm looking forward to someone who does! Maybe call ur doctor?

Have you ever talked to your doctor about all this anxiety? Maybe he would put you on Xanax.

I know once people stretch the sleeve back out and start making bad choices it's back to square one. Which seat were u in near me?

What type of wls did those 5-7 people have? They all had the sleeve he said he saw more people with bypass and band succeed.

You will lose weight by just doing the liquid diet and it is gonna shrink ur liver don't cheat! Lol

Happy thanksgiving to you! Wow thanks for the feedback. I guess everyone is different. I just want to make sure I do everything right ya know? My primary care physician told me not to get the surgery if he were me... He said he has about 5-7 patients all in the same boat right now, all 5 years out and back to same weight before surgery.
