I chose bypass because I need to lose about 200 pounds and most of the people I have spoke with have only lost about half of my number and stalled for months.

@@RnyMallory Time does seem to fly by at times. I'm in the middle now so I'm beginning to get anxious at times. Trust me though, those first 3 months you won't even remember they wiz by so quickly. Good luck to you too.

@@ambrosia916 Thank you. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you too!

I'm starting my journey also! Just had my first weigh in on Sept. 21st. Dealing with bcbs of AL so I also have the 6months to go through! I have been told time flies by so fast! So hopefully it will! I've got a little over 200lbs to lose. And no co morbities... I hope you all the best!

I agree I have found more support here than anywhere!!! I am just scared!
That's been the story of my life lose some gainers back and as I get older it's not getting any easier!!!

I've only told my immediate family and a few friends.
No one from work.
If anyone asks I've had my gallbladder out and a hiatal hernia repaired.
That's it.

Exactly! I wont be telling anyone else until closer to if not when I get to the acceptance stage with the insurance. I've made up my mind and some people just think its easy. It took me two years to lose 60lbs. And then a little over a year i gained it back plus 40 for a total of 100! It irritates me how much weight I've lost through the years. I'm SO glad you said the time goes by fast! That makes me feel so much better!
