Hello all, my name is Natasha. I'm happy to say that I will "join the club"on February 18th! My surgeon will be Michael Kia at McLaren hospital in Flint, MI. Since I weigh 379lbs and have hypertension, I got medical clearance quickly. I'm so ready to be free of this burden! If you live in Michigan, I would love to speak with you!

Just starting this thread.

Calling it a 5lb loss because I'm not counting the weight added by the fluids and gas from surgery.

5 weeks out, and this mornings weight said 220. Down from 265 after surgery weight.

I am in and ready to go. Just waiting for the dr to cow but all my tags are on and they said 10.45-12.45 and then recovery. Wishing everyone a great day. I still don't have a voice but I don't think I will be talking for a little bit after.

I just registered for my first ever 5K!! I've always wanted to do one and feel like this is the perfect time to do it.
It's not until April so I've got a few months to go, but this is exciting for me. I've never been a runner, but feel confident I can do this!
Has anyone else ever done one?

I think we should all post pre-op pics!!!
& then come back after our surgeries and edit posts and put up post op pics!

I'm weighing in at md office in am...you have me so hopeful : ) No buyers remorse for you now!!! Congrats!!!!

The good news? I'm down 15 lbs now

I'm not post-op yet; I am still in the pre-op stage, but the Liquid Protein diet has given me some major diarrhea. Maybe that's just God's way of telling us that we are all full of poop. LOL Good luck everyone, especially those that are post-op or about to be.

Congrats to all the new Surgical dates this week & best of luck to you all : ) I'm only 6 days out & I woke up feeling like a different person!!! This losers bench rocks!!! Can't wait to hear about ur experiences!! See ya on the flip side : )

Reading smut book today has helped to take my mind off this!! Yes, I'm reading the trilogy....& I refuse to admit that in court : )

Oh yea!!! I said goodbye to all my favorite foods one by one...as they went into my tummy lol

Congrats, I just had a revision Monday from the sleeve. So worth it : )

I had surgery Monday (1/14) & just got home last pm. Having said that, I wore Jammie bottoms in & when I came home last night. Pack chap stick or lip gloss cause that 1st day cotton mouth is pretty rough. Ask to swish & spit immediately if you have to drink barium!!!! Pain meds in hospital are good, use them! I asked for something not so strong at home & not sure if that was wise...Best wishes to you!!! Keep us posted & check out January dates, lots of info in there : )

I'm pretty groggy but I wanted to wish Love best wishes in just a few short hrs!! Will post bout Sx later.meds are kickin my booty!
