@@nina1562 oh my, I didn't realize you had the band before? Wow, lots of surgery for this Hope the sleeve works for you! I did not have to do a diet plan before hand either. I did weigh myself and I am down 5 pounds since I went into surgery. Yay! I will say that I was one of the unlucky ones and did not have health insurance coverage for this as my United healthcare declined me. My insurance wanted me at a 40 BMI for at least five years. Therefore, I sought out ways I could pay cash and believe it or not I went to Mexico for my surgery. It was a wonderful experience! However, I do not get the doctor follow ups like you will be having. That is why I decided to get on these apps for my support system and I do have a patient coordinator that I can have access to 24 seven with the doctor that I used. I was about 162 years ago and really only had 30 pounds to lose because at 1:30 I would be good but I fractured my right ankle terribly and had put on weight ever since then. So, it was getting difficult being older and not able to exercise as much. And, now I'm hoping to get back to that one 60 then to the 130 and God willing I get down to 115 because then I have room to fluctuate may be between 115 and 125. This would be my ideal.

@@AmberMc03 YOU WILL DO GREAT! I'm day 5 and it's not too bad. You can have sf Popsicles and yogurt! I bought strawberry Slimfast shake too. I'm also 5'1" and went in at 199.5. My goal is 115! I'm very busty as I have implants and now all this extra weight over them was starting to give me back problems. Therefore, I knew I needed to do something. I am hoping that this was the answer. Looking forward to being much thinner by my birthday on September 24. I will be 43 years old. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
