Hi I am just starting my WLS journey. I am 23 years old and have a BMI of 55.7... I am dealing with all the insurance stuff right now. It is so stressful, but I know it will work out. I hope to get to know all of you better..

hello back!

I think I started around the same BMI as you, though 2 years older, hahaha. It's not an easy journey, but I think it's worth it. 3 weeks ago, I weighed 30lbs more...its all just unbelievable. Unfortunately, I have crappy student insurance, so I bypassed all the stuff you are about to go through and funded it myself. Best of luck!:tongue2:

Hey! I started at a BMI of 74 at the age of 30 this past Apr. I am due to have surgery on Aug 20. I am now at a BMI of 63 and have lost 70lbs in the last 3 months. Congrats on your decision to have the surgery! Best of luck!

Hello!! I am glad you have decided to get a band. I know how hard it can be going thru all the insurance stuff but it is worth it. I was banded on June 29th and just had my first fill, I can't wait for my next fill so I can get to me "sweet spot" :tongue2:

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
