I am pre-op with Kaiser in Cleveland Ohio, just starting the program and have my orientation in to the program early in July. I can't wait for the next 6-7 months to pass by quickly so that I can get my surgery! What should I expect?

I think goodwill is going to be my best friend after surgery!

How is it going so far Cortneyyy? I don't think I will have my surgery until January. What area of the Miami Valley do you live in? I grew up in Sidney!

My sisters and brother are tall and thin and I am short and fat, they just do not understand sometimes. My moms weight fluctuates quite a bit, but she also was a size 0 at one point in her pre-pregnancy life- I can't say that much lol. Today I was told by a random stranger "lay off them donuts" while I was walking in to work, incredibly hurtful! I wish I could fast forward through the next 6 or 7 months. I can't wait until surgery day!

I am looking forward to being able to reach my feet easily when I have to put on shoe covers at work. I am also looking forward to being able to keep up with my step daughter when she asks me to race her to the swing set in the park!

I have only told my husband and my best friend that I am planning on wls so far, and that may be it. It is a really personal desicion to me, one that most of the other people in my family or that I work with may not understand.

Hi everyone! I am in the Cleveland area and just got approval to start the weight loss surgery program at Kaiser, hoping to get the sleeve surgery in 7-8 months. I am so excited, and it is nice to see that there are other Ohio people out there going through the same thing as me!
