    Nel71 got a reaction from CocoNina in Secret Surgery   
    I can so relate to you. I am 4ft 11 1/2 in and weigh 187. I feel i have to justify to everyone why i want to do this. I am so sick and tired of everyone telling me i don't need this as i also carry my weight in the right places. A weight gain of 5lbs on me looks the same as a 15lb weight gain on a taller person. Tired of the yo yo. I am telling my job i am going on vacation. Taking 10 days off but it's more like 14 if u include the weekend. Surgery is April 13th.

    After the first several weeks the weight isn't just falling off of you left and right.
    You are not going to have to worry about losing too much, trust me.
    Even if you did, which you won't, it is very easy to increase calories once you are cleared for all foods.

    Other than height and weight..your story is very similar to mine. I'm 5'6..my starting weight was 232..I'm currently at 207. I was and am a very clean, healthy eater..active walking everyday and active at my gym..my problem was also portions. I could only eat a small portion to lose anything and I struggled with being sick or dizzy. I tried everything too..WW, JC, medical weight loss, Adkins..you name it..I've tried it. Luckily the surgery has helped me eat those small portions to help lose easier..but not easily..you still have to measure..or at least I still measure everything..my high goal would be 57 lbs..low end goal 75..I'm going for the low end goal. My short term goal is to be 199 lbs on my birthday. Jan 17th and I will get it!
    Only you and your physician know if you need the surgery..who cares what other people think. I had family and friends tell me I didn't need it..but with my diabetes getting harder to control.. I knew I did. Good Luck!

    I am 4ft 11in and weigh 187lbs. I have always worked out (spin, boot camp etc..). I eat healthy and not a big junk food eater. My problem is I have to eat very tiny portions to see any results. Does not even matter what the food is. If it's not a minuscule portion I will not loose anything. I had a trainer for a year and see a nutritionist once a month. I have done Jenny Craig, Weight Watchers etc...It all comes nack to my portion size. 1 cup of anything is too much for me so i have to weight and measure everything. It's been years of up and down and a struggle.
    Because of my height and weight I qualify for the surgery. The date is set for April 13th. DR. Wants me to loose about 50lbs. Anyone out there that has about the same to loose?
    I Feel uncomfortable sharing as people look at me thinking i don't need it.

    Helllo! I have about 80 pounds to lose to be at a healthy bmi. I have my first appointment with the surgeon and nutritionists next week! That's awesome that you already have a date! I hope my surgeon gives me an idea of what I'm working toward! I have several health problems which is part of the push for surgery for me. Good luck [emoji4]

    I had 60 pounds to loose. My sugury was a year ago. By 5 months out, I'd lost my 60 lbs and maintained. No regrets.

    Nel71 got a reaction from charlies.angel in Insurance coverage but considering Mexico. Thoughts?   
    A friend went to Mexico (A lighter me) she had a great experience and no issues. However I would be too paranoid to do that just in case something goes wrong.
