Hi, all. I'm 41 years old, 5'3" and my current BMI is 35.4. I have hypertension and mild sleep apnea, so I was approved by insurance. I'm on day 11 of my 2-week pre-op diet and I've lost 12 pounds in the last 10 days. My surgery is on Tuesday, 7/9. Best of luck to everyone with July surgery dates. :-)

Just checking in on the lightweight thread - my original personal goal was 120. I met that goal and have continued to lose weight. I know I say this quite often - I am SO HAPPY I had this surgery before I gained more weight. It has been relatively easy for me after the surgery. I had surgery on 9/10/12 - and I imagine that I will be 115 by my one year surgery date. I still have no hunger and still can't eat very much. I can definitely eat more than I could a few months ago but because my cravings and tastes have changed I am not tempted as much anymore. However, I still have a sweet tooth - last week I was in a meeting and they had Desserts. I did get one but I was only able to eat half of it. It was so sweet that after the first few bites I could only taste sugar so it wasn't very appetizing. Good luck to us all for continued success

I'm 5 '2 1/2 and flucuate between 223lbs and 227lbs based on the scale Im using..I know for me to be out of the over weight category I have to weigh 131lbs. Which I weighed my senior year in high school. I remember thinking how fat I was at my prom at 135lbs..lolol Only to look back now and see a slim beautiful girl in the pictures! I have 2 little girls 1 1/2 and 2 1/2 and hope that this surgery will help me to pass on a good body image to them. My mom was very overweight and always dieting so I guess that bad body image was passed on to me. I also have PCOS so I am anticipating a SLOW weight loss, but as long as it comes off, I am in no rush. I was happy with myself at 170lbs so hopefully I will be feeling "normal" again soon!! Still waiting on Insurance approval hopefully by tomorrow!!!

I could have written this. (Except for the kids part). I'm 5'2 and I stayed at 230 forever. I have pcos. I was 125 at prom (thought I was fat).

I 230 day of approval and gained 11 while waiting. So surgery day 241. I thought based on the pcos and history of slow losing I wouldn't see what others saw. I'm 8 days post op and down 14! I know my 2-3 week stall is coming and I'm ok with it. But thought I would share. Good luck!
