I joined MFP end of Jan of this year. I started the process of weight loss surgery mid Jan of 2012 and working towards a surgery date. I have gotten the ok from the Psych., Physical Therapist. I am sure my Nut. would sign off too since everytime I see her she says I am doing great and I bring in a week of MFP logs for her to look at and record. My local Bariatic program has a team approach and all members of the team have to approve you are ready for surgery before you get a surgery date and send your insurance paperwork in to be pre approved. They review cases every 2 weeks so I am hoping to hear the end of this month that I am getting a surgery date. Will have the sleeve done. Would like the surgery to be in July so I can take vacation time from work when it is slower at work.
I have been overweight all my life, I weighed over 11 pounds when I was born! I joined Weight Watchers at the age of 10 I think! I have never been at my correct weight. I wish I would have done this before being 48 years old. Even though overweight I am pretty active but lately my knees have been bothering me alot to the point my left knee needs a knee replacement but my knee dr told me I am too young for it so I am hoping the WLS will help me loose the weight and keep it off for good this time!
Glad I found this group!
I have lost 28 pounds using MFP to take my food intake, exercise and water.

Welcome to the group! I just had my R-N-Y surgery on March 13, 2012 and it has changed my life already. It's a lot of work, but it is worth it. Keep on top of your insurance company and make sure that everything gets turned in that needs to be. I started the process in November and like yourself, I kept to the plan and it helped, because even though I showed I could lose weight, the surgeon still wanted to see that weight come off before surgery. I think it is ,because it will make it easier not only for them, but also for your recovery.
I started to add protein shakes in with my food, because it was basically all liquids for two weeks afterwards.
I think you'll do just fine.0
