My surgery was May 12th as well! How are you ladies doing? Stats so far? Just had my 6mo check up and the doctor was happy with my progress :-)

I'm in almost the same boat as you! Pre-approved by insurance and now waiting for my Aug 18th doctor appointment. Fingers are crossed that all goes smoothly! :-)

So here is my big dilemma. I am super embarrassed that I have not been able to lose the weight on my own. I truly feel like the biggest failure. I've decided to do bypass and confident in my decision, however I'm not sure what I'll say to those who ask about the weight loss? I've been very private and don't want anyone to know I'm doing the surgery for fear of condescending opinions I guess. I don't know. Anyone else dealing with this?

I received word a week ago that I was pre-approved by insurance for surgery. Now starts a six month medically supervised weight loss program before surgery can happen... I have told seven (7) people and I feel like that is too many. Those not included? My mom and sister who I tell EVERYTHING to. They are both die hard Weight Watcher people and they think that is what I should be doing. Well I've tried WW several times and it just doesn't work for me. And frankly, I'm done doing what others feel is best for me, it's time to do what I BELIEVE IS RIGHT FOR ME. Simple as that. So I say, tell who you must. It's your choice to either shout out from the rooftops or keep it as your own little secret. Either way you're getting healthy and happy :-)
