Hi, have you had your surgery? My BMI is right at 30 and my date is 04/11/17! I can not wait. It has always been hard or impossible for me to stay at a healthy weight! I can not wait to hear how you are doing.

TX2017 Im also having my surgery on 4/11!!! Lets be friends and suport each other!!

U would like to waste your waist though lol

Well I'm a nurse at a hospital in Alabama and I work with about ten other nurses that have had wls. You are right when you say people will judge. One of my close coworkers had it and has yet to tell anyone. We know because of the way she eats now and the weight coming off so quickly after going to Mexico.
I've just been honest about mine. I needed to gain some. I had one person be almost mad about it. My boss said your gonna gain weight and then not qualify anyway... lol... wow. Way to be supportive. I have experienced a lot of support though. I decided that even if it meant taking some heat I was going to talk about my experience. I'm having serious health issues. Everyone of my family is a diabetic but me and I'm headed that way and already have sleep apnea GURD and high blood pressure and cholesterol. I'm 51. I don't want to waist anymore of my life wishing to be thin and if I could do it by myself I wouldn't be overweight to begin with now would I?

And some people think this way is only for the really big people or morbidly obese... no it's not

I was sleeved dec 5th 2016...
People haven't walked in your shoes and not should they pretend too. I have a little bit to go for the weight side but a long bloody journey ahead to keep it off lol.
I was surprised how quickly it did come off and now stopped!!...
you will be
My health is so much better now as well.

I had a BMI of 31 and self funded which cost me a shit load of money.
I have had no problems losing weight except now for the last few kgs.
My dr warned me that some people would be very opinionated about the surgery because I never looked like I needed it lol.
