I've got to lose at least 6lbs before they will give me a surgery date.  I'm going to bust my behind this week to get it done!  I'm hoping for a July date!

I've done all the pre-tests, the labs, the workups, meeting with nutritionist, physical therapist and psycologist.  All I have left to do is lose 6lbs (part of my 5%).

Can't wait to get this going!

I've lost 86lbs!  Lost 90, but the honeymoon phase is over.  Now the real work begins!

Good luck with losing your 5% hun I know it can be crazy hard! I had to lose 18lbs (i think mine was more than 5% body weight) Even though my clinic tells us to lose the 10% required, it's not required to get a date, it's just required to help make your liver not as fatty which is better for the surgeon. Luckily I'm down 12lbs. and I just got all my stuff in the mail a couple of weeks ago, I got a surgery date of September 20th @ 7:30am along with my fiance who will be going in @ 10:30am.

  Starting Weight: 345 lbs. Weight day of Surgery: 332lbs. Goal Weight: 160lbs.
