You look amazing! Those are some cute jeans, too! Wow, size 8 just seems unreal to me now. Thanks so much for being such an inspiration!!!

Congratulations on the approval! I'm still preop so I can't offer experienced advice, but I can share how I feel about it. I get nervous too. I have four children, the youngest 9 months. I'm not a single mom, but I still get scared about what they'd have to go through without a mother. But the fact is that they're going to get a much, much better mom out of the deal. I'm going to be able to play with them, experience life with them, teach them about living healthy, etc. I can't do those things without this surgery. I really believe my whole family will be better for it.

You look incredible!

What a great NSV!

Hi! Best wishes with everything!

I initially went in with my heart set on the sleeve. In fact, I even told DH on the morning of the consultation that if the surgeon didn't agree with the sleeve, I would just walk away from the surgery. But the surgeon made good points and told me he really felt I would have a higher success rate with bypass.

I'm with Dr. Dan, too. I don't have a date yet, but like you I am really hoping for April or May. I finish my testing on February 18th, so we'll see!

Same here!

You look incredible! How are you feeling?

Best wishes to both of you!

Wow! What an inspiration! Thank you so much for sharing your story.

I wonder what people who say things like that think about smoking cessation tools. No one says a word when someone needs from the patch or gum or a pill to quit smoking. Yet when some of us need help with our weight, we are taking the easy way out.

Congratulations! That's so exciting.
