You look amazing!

I will for sure. The biggest issue is having surgery at high altitude. We are like at 8200 feet. The one person I know did tell me she had difficulty breathing afterwards and they gave her blood thinner shots, to help reduce the risks of blood clots. I am still excited. The best part is I have BCBS and being overseas I just have to meet the criteria, but I don't believe the process is as long.

Congratulations and wishing you a speedy recovery!

Hoorah for awesome husbands! I love to hear about the supportive husband. Mine is awesome and it totally supportive of my decision. Congratulations on your surgery.

Hi, I am new to the forums. I have finally after 15 long years decided on WLS. We are currently stationed in Bogota, Colombia and I have decided to have my surgery here. I will have my first meeting with the surgeon this week to discuss my surgery options. I personally haved decided to go with the sleeve; however I am sure he will tell me my options. I have known several people here to undergo WLS and have had great results. At first I was very concerned with doing it abroad, but through research figured it would be a little easier. My husband has been so amazing through this whole decision making process. I will keep you posted on my experiences in Bogota, Colombia.

Good for you! Glad to hear it is going rather smoothly. How long were you in the hospital?

I totally relate and feel the same way...then I see a picture on FB next to my size 6 friend and I thing OMG....i am fat. I think too because I am a pear, I carry the weight "well" but, at the end of the day 260lbs on a 5'6 frame whether it is small or big boned is a lot of weight. But then I go home and look and my mirror and it is like a trick mirror! But I weigh what professional football and basketball players weigh. NOT CUTE>
