Introducing me...



Recommended Posts

Hey guys, I'm new and will probably be popping in on the group. I scheduled for surgery next week, 16th. I do not have an angel yet and would very much like one. My name is Mona and I'm 347. My goal weight is 160 as I'm 5'8" (snd a half but no one wants to give me credit for my half). So that's a goal loss of about 187.

I chose gastric sleeve because it seemed like a no brainer. Less evasive and I'm also already hypoglycemic.

Well, hello everyone. Looking forward to getting to know some of you.

Mona

Hi Mona! I'm 5'8" also (no 1/2 for me, and these days I really have to stand tall to make the 8"! LOL), and my original goal weight is also 160. Got 12 pounds to go and if I can do it, so can you! You're making a wonderful choice with the sleeve, and lots of people have lost over 200 lbs. with it. Welcome!

Hi Mona,

I am 5'6 and my original weight was 343 pre op. On my surgery date November 10th I was 320. Here I am on December 11th and I am 285. My goal is to get to 125.

I hope you have a wonderful surgery. Mine went great with no complications and I have been loving life afterwards now.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
