Yeah, finally someone with my date!! I am scheduled for my bypass on June 9th. I've had my date for several months, so I watched all the April dates come and go, then May and now FINALLY June dates :-) I am 5'3" and currently at my highest weight, 228. I have my 5th appointment with my PCP tomorrow and then my 6th/last on June 1st. Then I just have nutrition class on May 29th and I'll be done with appointments.

Good luck to you both, hope we can stay in touch throughout this process.

Since we all seem to be in the same weight range, let's talk goal weight. I know it's not supposed to be about numbers, it's about health, but let's be honest, we all have a number in mind. If you are comfortable sharing, what is your goal weight? I have been thinking about 130, does that seem realistic?

My doctor said that 130 is not realistic for me but that 150 would be good. If I got down to 130 I'd be really skinny which would be nice lol. But I'm almost 5' 8".

I was told 157.... healthy range is 131 to 145. When I was 140 as an amateur boxer I felt pretty good but could have been lighter. I wonder if I will really know until I am closer?

I'm 6/8 at 7:30 am telling me to keep my weight below 274. That was several weeks ago. If I'm over No surgery! I'm struggling big time. I weigh in for the last time on May 27th and attend a group session for all RNYs with surgery coming up. We will be on a 2 week diet of 1400 calories prior to our date. Please says pray I make it.

it seems realistic to me FOR YOU because your starting weight is 220s... most people on gastric bypass lose around 100 lbs and up... the doctors go by a calculator and they subtract 70 percent of your extra weight but they told me that its just est and that many go past their calculations. they told me they predicted 150 for my current height and weight but for sure i will drop an extra 20 for show ha!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

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