The Candidate

You're looking great! Love the PJ's btw. ????

My recovery from RNY has been pretty much text book perfect, and I thank my lucky stars everyday! ????

It's like looking at two different people. Congrats on all your accomplishments!

I'm so happy for you! You'll love it here on the other side! Congrats!

I'm 54 also and eight weeks out from my RNY, and if I achieve anywhere near your success in five months, I will count myself extremely blessed. You look beautiful! There is a dramatic difference between your before and afters! Congrats!

What a difference a year makes! You look lovely!

I'm currently watching The Tudors. One episode a night while on the treadmill.

Hang in there. It's hard to have your hopes grounded for a period, but the time will pass by more quickly than you can imagine. I think it's a good sign of the competence of your surgeon that he had the forethought to consider his availability during your recovery.

Welcome to the new members. This is a great site for support and information. Best of luck!

Congrats Sam! Looking good!

I can see the difference too. You look lovely!

I would check with your doctor to get his/her input. Good luck!

You've made remarkable progress. Congrats!

That's a definite NSV. Congrats!

You can really tell the difference! Keep up the great work!

Congrats on surgery tomorrow! I never had surgery before mine, and going under was easy for me. In fact I don't remember a thing. Seriously nothing after they asked me to scoot over to the surgery table. You'll do great!

I didn't have one, only liquids the night before. But we were required to lose 10% of our weight over the six months of classes.

But you'll certainly have a lot to be thankful for this year! Congrats!

I just want to add that you can always change your mind later and tell people, but you can never "untell" anyone once it's out. I'm glad I have given myself the time to get used to my new digestive system and changing body, without having to focus on anybody else's opinions. It's been a win/win situation, for me anyway.

I've only experienced pros when it comes to the choice of only telling a select few. I also work in an office and am about eight weeks post op. The less you share of your personal business in that type of environment the better, in my opinion. There should always be a dividing line between professional and personal, but that's just me. In the end it all comes down to your choice and preferences. Go with your instincts on this one. Good luck!

It's like religion and politics, everyone has an opinion. But you have to stay true to yourself and follow your own course. In this, and every other aspect of life.

Welcome Gabby!

Congrats on the approval and surgery date! The best is yet to be!

Congratulations! What an accomplishment!

That's a shame. You have a consumer relationship with them, so there should be no reason to "hide" any information related to your policy from you. Hope things work out!
