So excited and ready!

Hi. I'm new here. I am in the final stages of the process before setting a date for my RNY. The doctor office said it'll most likely be in Dec. I'm so excited and ready to do this. I'm 5'3 216lbs. Anyone on here with less than or about 100lbs to lose altogether? Do you find that weight falls off as much as someone who has more than that to lose? Also, anyone in the central Florida area?

Hello...welcome to the forum!

I am in the same approximate height and weight zone as you are. My surgery is scheduled for 11/3.

My first WLS was done in central Florida...

I have similar stats too. I have 1 week till surgery and I am expecting to lose slower- right now I have about 80 more I need to lose. I am also originally from Tampa

Hi and welcome! We're very close in stats. I'm three months out from my RNY. I'm 5'2". My HW was 248 and I was 216 the day of surgery. I'm 172 now. So I've lost 76 overall and 44 since surgery. I'm also 54, so I have a slower metabolism.

Just remember that everyone is different so don't drive yourself crazy by comparing weight loss after surgery. Your body will lose at its own rate. As long as you stick to the program, it will come off in its own time!

Congrats!

Good luck! I will keep you in my prayers. Keep me posted on your progress. I'd love to know how you're doing.
