Paola 62 Posted January 6, 2012 I went to the Dr. today, and after seeing that I had lost 61 pounds he asked me when I wanted the surgery done; I said as soon as possible. The Dr. said I could have it done on Tuesday of next week, when I heard that I think my eyes bugged out and I couldn't say YES! fast enough. So after months of waiting for insurance, then bloodwork to be done the day is finally right around the corner =) Thank you Jesus, because you made this possible!!! My highest weight was 380 First Dr. appointment 368 Today!!! 307 I am soooooooooo happy =) 6 BridgetG71, mommy794, kcsmicah and 3 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can't wait to make room for you on the losers bench!!! Lissa I told the Dr. I had been doing it since the end of October, he was impressed. I remember his secretary telling me during our first appt that sometimes people tried to do it for 3 weeks, but it was hard to do. The great thing is that because the surgery is in less than a week, I will only do the 4 Protein shakes with 0 carbs for like 4 days, instead of a whole week. I am so excited I have spent all night and day telling everyone I know about my surgery date. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
