I've never been able to lose weight easily, trust me I know I won't be one of those people that gets magically skinny in 6months, I just want to be healthy for my family. This isn't the magic fix it's just a tool in my opinion.still excited Sent from my N9518 using BariatricPal mobile app

I have hypertension on a blood pressure pill, and water pill and it stays between 170-140/95-75on the meds. Ive had it since I was a teen. I am currently 6months post partum I had to have my son premature emergency c section due to preeclampsia and cholestasis, I have PCOS/metabolic syndrome so it's even harder for me to lose weight, my back is in such pain over the littlest activities, I have severe joint pains, I worked full time as a server and could barley stay under 210, and I don't eat much, I've been on antidepressants on and off since I was 16 I dont know what it's like to not feel ashamed of my body, to not have pain, to be able to exercise and be active with others, to wear clothes I truly want instead of baggy tees..ive been overweight since I was 7yrs old i was on more diets before puberty than most adults, I've tried medicine, dietitians, even played sports in highschool. Heart disease runs ramped in the females of my family, my commitment is to live as long and happily as I can for my husband and son..that's my reason.

I am 230 but have alot of health issues for only being 24, I am curious to know how weightloss is for people around my starting weight. Hopefully getting a date soon Sent from my N9518 using BariatricPal mobile app

How long did it take to get yours, feel free to share with kind of insurance. So far I got the echocardiogram and gallbladder ultrasound, endoscopy is on 11/17. At what point in your checklist do you actually get a date?

I just had my first visit to the surgeon two weeks ago and since then had a echocardiogram and gallbladder ultrasound and the endoscopy is scheduled, if you don't mind my asking how come it took a year I really hope mine won't take that long :/ congrats tho! My dad had the lapband and I knew it wouldn't be for me Sent from my N9518 using BariatricPal mobile app
