surgery date
Well congrat's on getting a surgery date! I know that's very exciting to have that date to look forward to.
I had the sleeve 9 months ago (April 16, 2010). I have went from 354 lbs to 225 lbs so far...minus 129 lbs total. I'm still losing, and hope to get under 200 by this April.
My advice would be to just be prepared to follow all of your surgeon's instructions, and keep a positive attitude. Take it day by day, and don't get stressed if you stop losing weight a few weeks after surgery. It's very common, and you will start losing again!
