Good luck and I hope it is a smooth surgery and recovery. I am hoping to be sleeved at the end of January or early February so maybe we will be on the losers bench around the same time .

I had a long process and just had to switch surgeons. I have new appointment on January 2nd and they said that they will use all my records from my surgeon that got me through up to this point. That was a huge relief. It is my understanding that I could have surgery by the end of January. I would love to have a "buddie" to go through this with! Good luck and keep me posted.

Good luck with ur journey. I was sleeved 11-12-13. I had to do a 6mo thing with my pcp before ins would cover surgery. During that time I lost 15lbs. Morning of surgery I weighed 260. I was very nervous the day before surgery but surprisingly I wasn't too nervous that morning. I had a rough 1st night in recovery threw up/dry heaved all night so I had to stay an extra night but the next day was better. It took me a couple of weeks to feel 100% human again but overall had a good experience. Only issue i have had is i got dehydrated and needed fluids at 3 1/2 weeks out bc i couldnt get enough Fluid in. Still having a hard time with that but getting better. At 5 weeks out I got on scale and for 1st time in 15 years the scale was under 250 (I almost cried). I'm at 227 now and so excited to see whats in store for me . I wish u well for ur journey. Good luck!
