I have tricare and it took 6 months from my first appt with the surgeon til my surgery. I was required to take nutrition classes, pass a psych eval, go to mandatory support group and wellness/fitness classes. It was tedious to say the least but I had lived so long unhealthy and overweight that six months was worth the wait. It's now been almost six months since my surgery and I'm thankful for all the classes they made me go through. My whole life has changed! Just be patient you will be so happy you stuck with it. I went through Ft. Carson in Colorado. I recommend Dr. Robert Wilcox to EVERYONE!!!!!

I am 5 months out and just tried salad and it worked out fine! I used Annie's dressing with had less than 30 calories for 2 tablespoons

I tried a half portion of Panera's Asian chicken salad today. I am almost 4 months out and it went fine.

Wow!! Good for you, you should be so proud.

I love this post!!!!! My life has changed a lot too. I was 225 and could not walk. I.was wheel chair bound. I could not wipe my own butt very well. Things were so bleak, but after 4 months and 3 weeks I am 160, & dont need the scooter ,exercise some , and wear a size 7 juniors and medium shirts. I want to be 115, but if the weight liss stopped today I would live a hapoy comfortable life

They say sweat is fat crying...well mine went on a 4.3 mile funeral procession today!

I NEVER thought I would be the person who loves going to the gym but now it's my favorite thing to do. I love taking the classes step, cardio kickboxing, aqua boot camp, sculpt, powerflex, Zumba and just recently took TRX. It has become part of my daily routine. I did not get the surgery to be skinny I did it to be healthy and the ONLY way to reach my goals. My entire life has changed since the surgery. I am so blessed!!

I have officially reached and passed the goal weight that was set by me and my surgeon. My goal weight was 160 and today I weighed in at 156. I have accomplished this in 6 months. I am so blessed! All of my hard work at the gym and dedication to my nutrition plan has paid off. My new goal weight is 140.

Welcome always happy to make new friends

I just have to tell everyone that I LOVE my new life. My quality of life is outstanding. I work out, my marriage is healthy and I'm having a blast with my 14 month old daughter. Every struggle that I have gone through since my surgery has been completely worth it. Don't ever give up, you will accomplish so much!

I LOVE life!!!! Having this surgery has given me a second chance and I am taking full advantage of it. I did this to get healthy. I was on three prescription medications for high blood pressure a day and still was running high. Now I'm not on any bp meds and my blood pressure is perfect!!!! I go to the gym everyday and I'm challenging myself in ways I used to be scared of. I'm now a better wife and mother. I thank God for this amazing blessing.
