My surgery is getting closer and closer and I am so nervous!

So, I have one more appointment (the 19th of FEB) for the "supervised weight loss" that my insurance required me to do and then I get my surgery date. This has been a looooong process but worth the wait (I hope).

As it gets closer, I am getting really nervous. 

I am so looking forward to the change, but also scared, I am currently 267lbs, My goal weight is 160, Is that realistic or am I being too optimistic? Somebody give me some advice please!!

My surgeon is Dr. Caban in Ocala, FL.

Unless you're 7 feet tall, it seems like a realistic goal.

Only 5'8 so I think im ok, LOL.

First of all it's normal to be nervous! Secondly you will be okay, look at how far you've come and what you've already accomplished. And thirdly I think it's a realistic goal. But I started at 323lbs (298lbs on day of surgery) and I want to be 150lbs by two years out and my surgeon and dietitian think it's realistic if I stick to plan and exercise. The sleeve is a tool and if you work it it will work for you. Good luck and keep posting, let us know when your surgery is scheduled. :)

I am right there with you! my date is getting closer as wellI have 3 more classes (required by doctor) then I will have my appointment to be scheduled .  So many emotions are going through my head but I am beyond ready.

I can't wait until I get to 267#'s!

I cant wait to get to the 160's!!

This is the heaviest I have ever been.

It's very realistic. My starting weight was 291. My goal weight is 160. I weighed myself today and I'm 162. How tall are you?

I thought I was 5'9 but last time I went to the DR they told me 5'8, Im only 23 and have already lost an inch! Oh boy lol

lol, I was 5'9"! I'm 5'8" now!!
