  3. @@Kindle congratulations! It's been almost a year since you reached your goal weight. You are an inspiration : )
  4. @@AllisonK1986 that 3-4 months seems like an eternity but it will fly by! So much to do in those few short months. Good luck and keep us posted on your progress please : )
  5. @@soonsleeved congratulations! I hope everything goes well for you. It's an exciting and scary time I know but it is sooo worth it! Good luck : )
  6. Nikki D that is awesome! Congratulations! 100 lbs...WOW!
  7. Sometimes it takes longer for us to see the changes in ourselves. I have taken pics almost monthly since my surgery 7 months ago and I don't think I noticed a big change until about 3 months. If you have not been taking pics start now and do it monthly. I promise you will start to see the changes! Summer Rain
  8. Awesome attitude @@CanyonBaby!!!
  9. Very mild reflux. I haven't had any since surgery.
  10. Are you taking Prilosec OTC or something similar? Acid can mimic hunger. I hope it gets better for you I am sure that this is very frustrating for you.
  11. I just want to say Welcome! There are a lot of good people on here with really great advice Good luck with your surgery!
  12. I had Both surgeries done and I had a very easy recovery. No pain meds after the first 12 hours or so. The hernia has not come back but it has only been 5 months.
  13. Hi Jennifer! Just wanted to let you know that I did WW online but I also saw my PCP once a month just to get weighed and discuss calories, exercise, etc. Good luck! Summer
  14. I had the sleeve done in Nov 2014 and I had type 2 diabetes. At my last visit with my PCP she told me my blood work is now normal. Speak with your surgeon and get his/her opinion. Good luck whatever you decide to do Summer
  15. Congratulations on your weight loss so far! You will find many different opinions on this subject. It has been a hot topic on here. It's a very personal decision, in my opinion, whether to tell or not tell. It's not wrong either way - just whatever the individual is comfortable with. I opted to not tell anyone outside of my husband and almost grown children. I am happy and comfortable with that decision 4 months post-op. By the way I love your response when people ask why you had WLS.
  16. Things will get better quickly. Hang in there the worst is behind you! Congratulation. Summer
  17. Good luck! Let us know how you are doing when you can.
