    Hi Debbie..
    Sorry it took me so long to answer.. I do not get on the site much these days. I have been extremely busy at work and have found very little time for "me"... I am holding in there, have gained back about 20 pounds over past 12 months, so I need to pull up my bib boy pants and hit it hard again.
    How has your journey gone?
  2. Thanks Pookie. How are you doing?

    I'm doing great! Weight loss has slowed, but I like where I'm at now, so if I lose any additional weight, it's just a bonus!

    Lots of exercise and looking into some skin removal surgeries in the next year or 2. I have my 1 year appt with Dr. Knapp next month. Have you scheduled surgery yet?

    We have similar stats! Thank you for the encouragement. Yes, we may have seen each other at EGH seminar. My husband was with me. Prayers coming your way too!

    Hello Debbie,

    Thank you for accepting my friend request. Yes, my VSG will be on Monday following next week. I attended the free seminar at EGH back in December of 2015. I had hoped Dr. Knapp would be doing my surgery, however my insurance Blue Cross Blue Shield would only approve the surgery at a "Blue Distinction" hospital and the closest hospital with that distinction is Lutheran Hospital in Ft. Wayne. My heaviest weight was 245, preop diet weight was 219, current weight is 213 on a 1200 calorie diet. I have 2 comorbidities including type 2 diabetes and high cholesterol with a BMI of 39. This will be a healthier lifestyle for me with going into remission with the comorbidities. The weight loss is an "extra" benefit as well!!
  8. Its been 2 months so far. Medicare will approve at 3 but to be honest I don't feel ready yet. I am having a hard time sticking to the 1200 calorie diet. I am going to classes and trying yo stick to the diet but I end up eating sweets. I am hoping that I will have it done in March or April. Did you have any problems sticking to the diet. Or what did you have to do to get approval?

    Good, how much longer do you have until you finish all of this. Mine went by pretty fast. But I have to be honest I will be glad when this 2 wks post opt liquid diet is over. There is just not much variety that I can have even if I could eat . But I know my stomach needs needs to heal and that is what I am trying to let happen. Best of luck to you!
  10. Thanks Deb I was wondering how you were doing. I am glad all is well. I do not have a date yet. I am still doing all the medical steps, going to group and trying my best to stick to the diet. It helps so much to see how you are doing.

    Miss Debbi 101, hello I my sleeve Wed the 27th and it has been great. I have no pain, skittle back pain but no nauseous, very little soreness. This has been the best decision I have ever made. Not once so far have I regretted it like a few I have read. I just wanted you to know my experience so you could prepare yourself. Everyone is different so please keep me posted. Have been hungry either. The joy thing I would want to tell you is that the day when you get my from surgery my dr would not let me have water or the protein shakes. Only those red swcabs to wipe your mouth out. They stay in water but you can't drink even off the swcabs. Then yesterday morning I got my protein and water all day once every hour. Your surgeon might do things differently then mind. Best of luck to you!

    He's GREAT! Very down to earth and a good surgeon to boot! Tell him Nicci says Hi! I really like how they follow-up after the surgery and for so long, it really helps to keep you on track and also to see the progress!

    And thanks...feeling great too!

  13. I will have my first meeting with my doctor December 2. I am just starting my journey. I am excited and doing lots of research. I enjoy reading all experiences and trials and victories.

    Miss Deb101. I haven't had my sleeve yet either. Probably will be in Jan and would love to be sleeve buddies with you. When are you expecting to have yours. I can't wait! I am so glad we can go through this together. Debbie
