Hi! I was 254 and 5'7" when I had my sleeve done! I just had mine last Monday, 9.30. You'll do great, just be patient. It will be over before you know it. Keep us updated on how you are doing.

Was wishing for a 2013 surgery!
So yesterday i went to my appt and yes it was the 5 month and i get there and they stated its been reschedule due to the Dr. in surgery. UGHhh but im only doing my supervision I come to get weighted and ask if I have any questions so im not sure why the assistant didnt just weight me but hey I guess everything happens for a reason. I was so hoping for a 2013 surgery to have a fresh start for 2014 but i dont i am staying hopeful and busy. I have begin to eat healthy thou because i know as im approaching everything i eventually have to eat right.

SMH! but is staying hopeful
I went to the Dr. On October 15 and they had reschedule til Novemeber because he was in surgery ok np. So i inform the nurseing assistant that im only here for a supervision I only get weight and ask questions she said ok and took my weight and i went online and noticed that that visit dont even count so I have two more months to go and still a waiting process til the insurance get back to me weather it will be approved or not. But again I am very hopeful and still working out and TRYING to eat heathly i notice thou its hard to just STOP so what I have been doing it not eating as MUCH. and it helps alot.
Hi there, welcome and thanks for sharing your journey with us!
How far are you into your 6 month supervised diet? Have you started any of the pre-op tests yet?
Usually you also need blood tests, an EKG an a few other things. Each doctor is different, so not everything is exactly the same, but if you'd like to read my review, I've documented the whole process I had to go through before I could have surgery. Just click the link above.
