Anyone having sleeve surgery in February? Mines on Valentine’s Day. Figured it would be nice to talk to a few people going threw same cr*p at the same time. Dropped 50 lbs before first dr visit then gained back 15! Going in for preop 4 week diet in 13 days and still have 10 pounds to drop,or they will cr*p there pants. Exercising is out for a while(bad back).thats my sh*t story what’s yours!

Wow just 2 weeks! Lucky you

That some scary sh*t!

It’s not healthy to be in a relationship with numbers! To start its a way of measuring success BMI and lbs, but when you get to where you are happy and healthy,ask yourself what your goal is realistically.you can lose to much and be unhealthy,not enough and your still overweight and that’s not what your after either. Numbers are just that. Might work if everybody was the same body type and height,but not worth a **** in real life. I’m shooting for 315 lbs looked damn good there 18 years ago. As soon as I’m there I’ll probably find that I’m not even close, thanks to Father Time ,cable tv,marriage and Taco Bell! And readjust my goal to match my correct body image. Sorry if I went off on a tangent.

Not going to tell anyone except my wife and doctors I see. Not even my kids need to know. May change over time.

Upper back workouts ,shoulders and chest will help tighten skin and flatten out moobs a bit at a time.

I’m liking all the comments on this thread! I started my weight loss off at 6’6” 485 pounds. At dr 1st consult I was 435. Gained back 10 lbs but will have it off long before my 6 week pre op Appt in January. Surgery for feb 14 17. It does take the edge off a bit reading where you guys have been threw all of it. Thanks

Welcome ,new myself. Sleeve surgery set for February 14. Can’t come soon enough!

I’m new to this but have my surgery date and appt dates for pre op classes. Excited to get this done. Weight went crazy after I got diabetes. gained 100 lbs in a year and a half! Started dieting for the surgery 4 mo ago ,down 50 lbs from 485.looking to get down to 280-300lbs,and keep it there.

Thanks for sharing your experiences with us. I learn a bunch from these.

Mines a month earlier in February. I’m with you on the shopping! All my clothes is from the internet. Good luck.
