It was when my mom visited and had so much knee pain that she couldn't stay in my 3-story house and had to get a hotel room. And when, a month later, I started noticing knee pain every morning and realized I had seen my likely future. My mom hasn't walked pain-free since she was in her 30s. I had to prevent that from happening to me. Sent from my XT1635-01 using the BariatricPal App

It's going well. I followed the first six weeks strictly and now am low-carb/high-Protein about 85% of the time. I have added the occasional glass of wine.

I took one week off, but I'm in an office all day. One week was perfect for me, but I did have low energy until week 3 or so. Sent from my XT1635-01 using the BariatricPal App

Hi, guys. Just wanted to share a progress pic and celebrate with you all. Went to the sleep doctor today, and for the first time ever, I didn't dread stepping on the scale. I enjoy moving more and have so much energy. You all gave me tons of candid insight into the process - thank you! Was a great choice for me. HW/SW 231 CW 191 (40 lbs down!)

I'm also a relative newcomer and appreciate the swift kick in the ass. But everyone has a different idea of support. Hopefully you find yours. Sent from my XT1635-01 using the BariatricPal App

Congrats! That's where I'm having mine, but just started the process. Who's your surgeon? Sent from my XT1080 using the BariatricPal App

Lol! I might have to ask about what they will do with my stomach leftovers, too. Sent from my XT1080 using the BariatricPal App

Have my first appointment with the surgeon next week and am wondering what questions I need to be asking. I've read a ton of stuff and am generally informed, but what do I need to know about/from my specific surgeon? I know his bio (years in the biz, # of surgeries per year, board certs, etc.). What did you ask that was really useful or what do you wish you had asked? (New here and am so thankful I found this community!) Sent from my XT1080 using the BariatricPal App

Well I've put on 20 lbs since commuting by bus and walking. Go figure! Interesting read though. Sent from my XT1080 using the BariatricPal App

Thank you so much for posting this story. It's the first one I've read on this app, and it's just the one I needed and one that's hard to find elsewhere. I'm a healthy fat person...I even like how I look (mostly). But I know I could be more..."myself". Surgery seems so extreme when I don't have other health issues, so I've been really unsure. Reading your story is perfectly inspiring that this is an option and that the payoff will be great. Thanks again, and congrats on your amazing success!! Sent from my XT1080 using the BariatricPal App
