I can't wait until I can meet my old self again. Looks like I could be getting sleeved within 2 weeks. I got my approval Friday. Now I'm planning exercise regimens and Just thinking about how I am getting my health back, looking great and the self confidence I will have again. When you look great you feel great.

Thanks praying to Jesus to watch over me... I am so excited.. I'm at 250.... Goal weight is 130... Is it possible to loose that much weight off the sleeve? My Doc said 90.

[SuzyB 182]

The 90 comes from the 60% of excess weight loss that is the average amount lost by vsg patients. I am stil preop but I see many people here losing much more that just the average. My dr sets the first goal at the 60% number.

What was your weight loss and in what time frame. How much did you loose?

beauty

no truer words have been spoken

good for you on preparing yourself for the sleeve

as i was losing weight, my confidence did start to show, more and more each day

glad you got your insurance approval

thats a big step!!!!

continue to feel great with anticipation of surgery

you "might" feel a little nervous, anxious as surgery day is approaching

but thats ok , most of us have been there done that

its amazing how your life will begin to unravel, and you will feel great

remember to be patient with your expected weight loss

took you awhile to gain the weight

won't come off overnight

but follow all the rules............

and it will come off!!!!

good luck with WLS

speedy recovery

Good luck to you. It is possible to lose the amount you would like. However, everyone is different and lose at different rates. I have lost 88lbs in 14 weeks and would like to lose more. It is important to stick to the program given to you by your nutritionist and surgeon. You also should not give up when stalls happen, and trust me that will no matter what you do. Good luck to you on your journey.

Congrats! The amount you lose is really up to you and your determination. I am 15 weeks out and I've lost 60 pounds. Started at 244lbs. Best of luck!

Thanks for all of your words of encouragement. Hearing your testimonies excites me. I can't wait..no pre op diet. Trying not to do any food funerals. Instead I'm trying to change my bad eating habits. So excited. I should have a date by Friday.
