What a lovely well thought out and informative post. Thank you for sharing your experience with us. And congratulations on your many successes, those already achieved and the ones yet to come!

I went through Options in So Cal San Diego region. We have 24 weeks of classes. They started in November 2014 and ended in May 2015. I lost more than the 10 percent. And my surgery was on 07/29/15.

If I buy any protein bar I go for a flavor that I don't really like much. That keeps it from calling my name. And I never have more than one or two in my cupboard at any given time.

Way to go! Congrats!

Congrats! You're doing great!

You are the incredible shrinking woman. Congrats!

Reach for the stars. You won't just walk, you might even run! Congrats and best wishes on your surgery!

You've got to give yourself time to heal. Once you're up and walking you should start to feel progressively better. Surgery is tough, there's no way around it, and the first month or so is the worst. Hang in there, do the best you can, and before you know it things will start to get better. Congrats!

I'm so happy for you! Congrats and best wishes!

Congrats and best wishes on your surgery day!

I'm six months out from bypass and have experienced no hair loss. My recent blood work shows my nutrient/vitamin levels are all great. The possibility of GERD issues was one of the reasons I chose bypass over sleeve. I have had zero complications and am only 16 pounds from goal. I'm very happy with my progress. Good luck!
