Ditto! Not very active here at all! Back in 2007, there were lots and lots of folks here. I often wonder if they were successful in their surgeries or if they've had complications or regain, but I guess we'll never know!

Congrats! I can remember the excitement. I was fine until they were wheeling me down the hallway to the OR, then I wanted to get up and run away! But, I'm glad I did it! Best wishes!

in 2 more weeks I should be about coming off the table , need to be at the hospital at 5:30 am , don't these people sleep lol ,
and my surgeon says it takes 2 hours guess thats with all the prep because one of the Mexican surgeons says he averages 35 minutes for the surgery and I can't believe that there would be such a great difference in time , well I will be sleeping an in no rush so I just want him to take his time and get it right
You lose :)

Hello Alicia,
I follow you on YouTube and I know how hard you've worked for your surgery. I live in Portland and I had my sleeve surgery on April 10th. My starting weight was 410 and my surgery weight was 385, so I know how hard it is to get the pre op weight off. I just wanted to say congratulation on your journey!

I was told if I could lose 6 more lbs I could have my surgery around June 27, the surgeon goes on vacation in July, so if I can't make June 27 I have the chose of waiting till August or using his partner ,also a great surgeon
Im thinking of starting the liquid diet early to help loss more weight
