I'm having my surgery at St Marks Hospital with Dr. Mckinlay through Rocky Mountain Associated Physicians. Anyone else in Utah?

Sleeved July 16 in Mexico. Doing great here other than a stall. How are you doing?

[Losingitforgood! 50]

Yay! Someone else from Utah on here! How did your sleeve go in Mexico?

I'm doing fine- just trying to make it through my pre op diet.

Doing good!!! I have felt really good. Just wish I was losing a little more. Only down 15 lbs and have been on a stall...little frustrating I hear for a few weeks. Just trying to get all my liquids in each day which is hard.

When is your surgery??

[Losingitforgood! 50]

15 lbs is great!!! What kind of eating plan are you doing?

I'm scheduled for Friday August 17. I can't wait!!!! This pre op diet is not very much fun at all. I'm on day 7 and down 10 lbs- so I know it's working!

Congrats to you!! I was on Clear Liquids for one week post-op. 2 weeks full liquids (protein shakes and soups) then this last week soft foods. Should be able to start solid foods this week. Good Luck to you! Will be thinking of you on the 17th!

I am from St. George. I had my surgery done on March 14th, so I am 5 months out now. I have lost 61.5 lbs. I have basically been able to eat any regular Protein I want since about week 4. I have started swimming 3-4 times a week, but the heat down here is preventing any outdoor walking. Having this surgery was the best thing I have ever done!

@desert19 glad to hear you are doing so good. I am doing better too. Losing again now. Eating solids and running on the treadmill. My goal is to do a 5k this fall... Maybe by the end of October? We will see down 30 lbs since surgery mid July but have now lost 70lbs since January. Cleaning out my closet has been fun lately! Hope out other Utah friend Emily is doing ok??

Moelizg I am in my 6 month diet with Dr cottam right now! Hopefully ill be sleeved in December between semesters... It should be Jan at the latest though.

Were you happy with Dr Cottam? How is he on surgery day calming you down and stuff? I am super nervous. Also I am curious, when did they collect your coinsurance, was it before hand or did they bill you?

Glad to see all you fellow utahns are doing well and rocking those sleeves, Congrats on your weight loss!
