Met with the surgeon yesterday. Very nice man, was honest and open, and had a good sense of humor. I can't believe I started this journey in late February, and I'm at the point where we are waiting for approval from BCBS! Went on vacation a few weeks ago, and though for sure I gained 6 or 7 pounds, and was really worried about being declined from BCBS. Turns out I lost 4 pounds! Down to 280 from 304 in February.

I did share with him about this site, and how it's been a great tool to read about those who are on this journey, and the opinions of what works and what doesn't. I also mentioned what a good support the members have been on this site. I have been really lucky that not only did I find a great weight loss program, with an incredible team, but also this great website of fellow sleevers!

Good luck. The more you read and become informed the better you will do afterward, I believe.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
