It's so odd. I didn't even realize that a little over a year ago my life took a change. If was always the girl forever on a diet. I was convinced it was a fat fetus. And now I'm look at pictures and I'm life Wow! Is that me? If walled by a plate glass window the other day and almost cryed.

Im happy someone posted about people not recognizing you. Because for the past month I felt as if I were in the twilight zone. Im just short of six months post op and at 104 lbs down. I went to church last week and people were introducing them selves to me. They just saw me last month. The craziest thing was when I went to motor vehicles to pay a fine and the guy looked at my license and asked if it were mine.

Hello I had my surgery done with dr. Marymour. Best decision I ever made. The whole staff is so great you can tell from the moment you get there that they really care. Im guessing if you have all your tests done and documentation it all should go by very quickly.

Omg! Thank you all for posting this topic. I was beginning to think I was losing my mind. I have had my period for 10 days now.

I had my surgery on 4/29/2013. And im happy to say im down 46.4 lbs...

Its ashame that there are not more support grouos in this area. I ha s my surgery on 4/29. Omg it was one of the best decisions I ever made. I have already I lost 13% of my weight. Snd am do looking forward to being in the 200s for the first time in 11 yrs

I would like to be included. Joannejojo828@gmail.com.

Im interested in a group.

Hello I am in Anne Arundel county. Are there any support groups available?

The reason for the liquid diet is to decrease fat around the liver. I didnt cheat everyday.

I use the myoplex strawberry shakes the ready made ones from the grocery store. I keep one on.my purse that way I'm.never with out one. The other one I got at the clinic. Vanilla torte...omg. it tastes just like a chick fil s vanilla shake. Its.delicious.

I cheated... Lol. The key is only lean protein for one meal. So I did skinless baked chicken. One meat ball no sauce. Look at it as if you were on medifast or slimfast for ten days. My shake is also really good. Although I am sure after four more weeks I will never want a strawberry or vanilla shake ever again.

On the liquid diet I went down a size. I freaked out when some of my clothes were too big. I can't imagine what I will do when I can't fit anything. Whenever I'm anxious I usually shop for clothes and I can't do that now.

I am going by myself but my husband and bringing my car. My husband will pick me up.

Can you say nervous? I am five yards past nervous. Surgery is 12:15 tomorrow. I keep looking at myself in the mirror wondering what it will feel like to look different. I can't believe this is really happening. Omg

This pre op diet is rough. I have lost some weight. For the first time ever I am seeing it my clothes. But I cheated twice. One time i had spinach and yesterday the whole company had coldstone. It's killing me.

I'm in maryland so it's about two and a half hours

I got the vanilla bean shake and the iron chewables. I start liquids tomorrow. I wish I lived closer so I good go to the support group

Omg. Best appt ever. They are so friendly. I start the liquid diet Friday.

My pre ops tomorrow!!!

Ok I have my pre op tomorrow morning. I am officially nervous.

How long before you could go home? Or back to work

How long before you could go home? Or back to work

Were you? I have tons of questions for you. I'm at the almost appt stage. How was the pre admission testing? I was told yesterday it was a lengthy process

I am going through the process of using him now. I'm just waiting for my surgery appt. I did a lot of research after my consultation and found that everyone who has used him loved him.
