I lost about 30 lbs but my Surgeon want me lose more weight I'm so frustrated my question is How much additional weight do I need to lose before surgery, and why is it critical for the procedure?"
Super cute pics!

Hi gang. Thanks for starting us again. I'm still getting through holiday leftovers. They'll be gone tomorrow. Huzzah!
QOTD: besides being humongous, i was already on metformin for Type 2 diabetes. They told me I was going to need insulin before much longer. One of my primary WLS goals was to be off all meds. As soon as I got home from surgery my blood sugars were normal. It was pretty miraculous.

I ended up getting the sleeve during Covid so it was pushed back multiple times.

Working from my phone because internet is down at work. So quick post lots of pictures.
QOTD: when my A1C 5.9 I had friends that had amputations due to diabetes and I said not me.
HW 299 SW 290 CW 139 GW 140 2/08/2019 OPERATION: Surgical Hernia with excision of total surface area of 55 x 29 cm of abdominal skin.
I read that it could put diabetes into remission and decided to try. I had been on insulin for about ten years and the diabetes did not go into remission. But it was improved for a long time, then gradually came back. I should have done it ten years sooner, but thought it was too drastic.

Good morning, Matt and all!
I saw that exhibit on the way into work and need to make sure that I attend. Do you know how long it will be on for?
Not a lot planned today, I will hit the gym, but nothing heroic. I may go to an after Christmas sale with Marilyn, depending upon whether it rains or not. My older son got a Dutch Oven for a present and has been talking about making us a potato/leek soup. Sounds great, but he is on a weird sleep schedule. No doubt some reading and football watching. Really, just what I want to be doing at this end of year period.
We still have lots of holiday leftovers. Plus we got a pizza oven from my sisters to try out. I wont starve.
QOTD: My Endocrinologist recommended it. From that point, it was about a 14 month process, I had a very long to do list before surgery.
Breakfast: Bagel
Lunch: Pizza
Dinner: supposedly soup, we will see.
