Hi all its me again. I'm currently sitting in the Bariatrics department waiting to have my official weight and height taken. Keep your fingers crossed for me. Reminding myself to not straighten my knees and I have a little help with reaching 40 bmi ???????? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using the BariatricPal App

I love this post. I am thinking about the WLS. I have to remind myself that this surgery will be a tool and not a fix it forever procedure. I lost 60#'s on WW in a year. I really worked the plan. 3 years later I've gained 40 of it back. I keep thinking I don't want to go back to tracking every bite, every liquid and exercise I do. I'm starting to realize that this is exactly what I will have to do if I have the surgery. I have only just begun to seriously think about WLS. This forum and all the people here sharing their journeys is amazing. I'm so glad I found you Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-T337A using the BariatricPal App

I noticed you have tattoos on your arms. I also have 2 very special tattoos on my upper arms. Right side upper arm a flying pig for my dad that passed from cancer 3 years ago and on the left a half upper sleeve of a Horned Owl with teal ribbon for my mother in law that just passed from ovarian cancer this last May. I was wondering if your tattoos are changing any? Stretching out etc. You look amazing and make me feel excited about maybe having WLS Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-T337A using the BariatricPal App

Thanks for sharing. I am just at the very beginning of looking into WLS. Have been to one orientation class. Trying to decide if I really want to do this? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-T337A using the BariatricPal App

marchmellow my husband suggested the ankle weights. I rolled my eyes. I chuckled when I read your post. Told the hubby and his reply was "I told you' So they don't make you strip down for the official weigh in? This would be good to know. KristenLe we checked my height last night have lost another 1/2 inch in 3 years. Why can't we get skinner as we age? Lol Kaiser will accept any weigh in at your doctor office from the previous year to qualify for the BMI. I had an appointment with my Primary today. Somehow I am I am now 41 BMI. It wasn't ankle weights So next week I'm going to call the bariatric department and mention this to them and see if I still need a phone consult with the surgeon.
