Here is another one that is having gastric sleeve on Monday 8th June, so excited

I am 29 and getting the surgery this year

Hi! I´m new here and on my way to getting a gastric sleeve, maybe in about 4 months, hopefully. I´m 5 feet 6 inches tall and weigh 316 lbs. I have hypothyroidism (?) and diabetes type 2. What is a realistic goalweight for me? I´m looking forward to this adventure and I´m dreaming away looking at clothes that maybe will fit me some day.. What do you is realistic there aswell, what clothessize do you think I can wear after my weightreduction?

Awesome, good luck on your journey I have to wait until june-august or longer, we´ll see. I live in Sweden and next step is to go to a information meeting and then wait for an appointment to a surgeon 1-2 months to get cleared and then there is maybe 2 months to surgery after that! They don´t do this kind of surgeries in the summer when there is less staff

You go girl :) When do u think u will have your surgery?

I´m hoping my op will be soon or in May the latest

you have the right attitude, thumbs up!

Yes that´s what I have done and got 154 lbs, so that is a big dream of mine to be able to see normal weight on BMI, that´s not all in life but still, would be so awesome! Either way it´s going to be big improvement from my current weight! I´m going to try to lose some more weight before it´s time for surgery, just as I get recovered from my flu!

Yeah I can imagine that they will give me a higher goal weight than u got based on the facts, basically I will be happy just to get healthy but I will not stop aiming for my own goals either, we´ll just see what happens I see you are well on your way with your weightloss, nice going

Thank you for the support!! I´m going to fight for this new life I am heading to, and not waste it! I can hardly wait to get a date for the operation. I like to go the gym and I swim too regularly so I´m going to get plenty of exercise "Dreamnumbers" for me would be something like 154 lbs, so I´m hopeful that I can reach that!! This forum is great and I love too see all the Before and after Pictures, keep it going guys

Btw, I´m 28 years old, soon 29..
