I'm near Ashland in a little town called Catlettsburg. Where the three states border each other. Ohio, Wva, and Ky

Dr Tompkins is my surgeon that did my surgery. Really pleased with my sleeve and my progress too! I was sleeved October 28th. Hw 240 Sw 202 Cw 142! Gw 130. I'm 5'3" tall

I'm seeing Dr. Wheeler. Just had my endoscopy yesterday...my first visit with nutritionist is tomorrow....have to do 6 months of visits before my insurance will give final approval. I'm sure it will go fast....I've done all my bloodwork but the thiamine one....next is stress test. Passing my time with doctor appointments... I also have to lose 50 lbs before Dr wheeler will do surgery because my bmi is over 65.

You can do it! I had the 6 months too. It seems like a lifetime but passes quicker than you think. I hated the idea of waiting but I learned so much! I graduated with Tim Wheeler so I didn't go to him. He's good too I hear!

Dr. Thompkins is doing mine. Are you going through UC perks?

And kyboo, the 6 months will go by so fast. I've been doing this for almost 11 months now. I started on March 30th. I did 9 months. It went by pretty fast. It gives you time to see what we all go through and see everyone's experiences.

Thinking of you this morning Molly. Best wishes and a speedy recovery.. Happy first day of the rest of your life girl!

Getting ready to leave for the hospital. My nerves are through the roof. I've had a headache all night. Stayed up until past 1am. Felt like I didn't even sleep. I'm excited just super nervous. I will keep updated

[kyboo1972 90]

Saw the nutrionist today....as of Jan 14 I have lost 29 lbs!!

[Bloomer723 75]

Wow kyboo, great job!

[perk4756 259]

No idk what UC is. What's worrying me now is I'm almost my gw and barely can eat or hold anything down still. I sure don't wanna go much smaller than 130. I look sickly at a smaller weight. But I'm sure it will be ok

Thinking of you molly on your surgery day.

My sleep study is Thursday then I see the sleep doctor on March 3rd, wear the CPAP for 30 days and then I'm cleared for surgery.

Wooo.

You're getting closer! Good luck!

Hi every one! I has my surgery done around 11am yesterday. It's been tough and it's getting better but it's definitely taking a toll. The pain is like doing a million sit ups on my left side. I've been dry heaving. Waiting to do leak test. If that's okay then going home.

[Bloomer723 75]

So glad you're doing okay. Take care of yourself and post when you can.

Glad you're doing OK! Update as you can
