Hello,

I had my 4 month pre-op supervised weight loss appointment with the PCP on Thursday, 4/9/15. Since January I have dropped 18 pounds and my BMI has gone from 39 to 37. My goal is to be sitting right at a BMI of 35 at the time of surgery which with any luck will be mid-to-late summer.

Highest weight 208 in 2008 ** VSG 11/27/15 weight 193 ** Current weight 128 ** Goal weight range 100 -110 ** Height - 4'11" ** Age - 49

Wow Modest, this is great! Congratulations! I lost only 5 pounds on my supervised diet between 1/8 and my surgery date, about 1.25 pounds a month on average. Sadly - for me, this was a spectacular loss rate so I'm not beating myself up. I just mean that, by comparison, you are rocking it.

Well done!

Thankfully, I am feeling good. I got an infection in the hospital which required me to stay an extra day and put me on an additional medication. While mine wasn't the straightforward, complication-free experience I had hoped for it still went very well. And I woke up - the most important thing of all! Now I'm home, managing to get my 60g of protein and 64 oz water, and I'm walking / moving as much as possible. My pain has been manageable and gets easier to manage every day. I haven't weighed myself yet but I feel a difference in my clothes already!

Thank you SO MUCH for asking after me.
