Had my consult with surgeon

[NorCalGuy 0]

Already handled my psych eval, have my second appointment with the nutritionist next week, then go handle my labs, but otherwise I'm almost ready. Have a followup in mid-December with the surgeon, but he said January looks like it would be surgery time, since thats what works best with my schedule. Pretty exciting! I am a little concerned, though, that some of the info he gave me says only 60% of the stomach is removed; I thought it was closer to 80%? Just want to make sure its a sufficient amount to curtail my ability to consume, as I've got around 200 pounds to lose. He did say he had another patient around my age/ weight who had made it down to 190 in about a year, so that was encouraging.

Hi,

This is all good news. You are doing all the right things. Just take it one day at a time. You are about to start an life changing adventure. You will never have a regret. You are going to have all kinds of feelings and emotions or the next few months. Just remember I am always out here to answer or help you with any questions that you might have. I had a sleeve 3 years ago and lost 105 pounds and have kept it off. Just hang in there, you are going to be very successful.

Hugs,
