Thanks so much. I think that's the hardest part for me. I want to see my results. I want to feel better. I still feel like a fat log. I'm not looking for microwave results but a little something

They are concerned that I'm going to loose to much and become sick.

They still don't understand and they see you have lost that much weight

I had the MGB surgery and my friends and family still don't understand however my daughters are very happy that I have lost 100 pounds in 9 months. I have went down 10 Jean sizes and lost 153 inches. This is an amazing life changer for the better.

Feeling pretty successful so far. I have 53 lbs to go to meet goal, but have lost 45!

Now time to keep focused and on track through holiday/cookie season!

My surgeon did not have me or any of his other patients loose weight before surgery. The heaviest weight he has done the MGB on was 600 pounds. I had my surgery June 8 of this year and in 5 months I have lost almost 100 pounds. My surgery everything included with lifetime visits is only 23,000. I couldn't ask for a better surgeon he literally gives u his number and has u call him personally. He is so awesome. I apologize for what your doctor says, lacks empathy and compassion if u ask me.

Thank you so much for your support. It really means a lot to me. Most people here don't know I'm doing this so not much support from them.

Thank you for your response. I have been feeling that way for some time. At first they said it would be around 16K, but then after doing so much, there was always one more thing...and having so much invested, I believed it and kept going. I feel better that it's not just me that thinks this. I appreciate your words.
Regards,
Sarah

If you are moving towards surgery, you can always start prepping now. Get in your fluids.....cut down on sugars and carbs....don't make yourself heavier while stressing about surgery.
Remember that surgery is not a magic pill...you still have to work hard.
It's easy to feel defeated. Keep your eye on the prize and your chin up. Good luck with your journey.
