  1. Hello Everyone. I am new to this forum but not new to the weight-loss/bariatric surgery world. I had surgery 11/13/2017 (gastric Sleeve) but first met with my Bariatric team Feb 2017. I had to due 6 months of dietitian visits before I could be approved by insurance and then I chose to delay my surgery by a couple of months due to starting a new job, hence why there was such a delay between meeting my team and actually having the surgery. I never wanted to have weightloss surgery (but really who does) but when I met with my OB/GYN in November of 2016 I was told it was either weightloss surgery or Adoption as my weight was at a dangerous level for carrying a child, and due to my PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome) I was unable to get pregnant on my own (well with my husbands help of course). We had gone through years of fertility treatments previously and put that on hold due to a close family death, and when we were mentally ready to start trying again my weight was more of a problem than it was before. Fast forward to now: My highest weight was 336pds (when I first met my bariatric team). When I was discharged from the hospital I was at 297pds, and as of last monday I weighed in at 201pds. My first Goal weight is 200pds and under.....hoping for Onederland within the next couple of weeks. I am currently designing my next tattoo to symbolize my journey through weightloss and why I decided to get the surgery. Stats: Heighest Weight:336 Surgery Weight: 297 Goal Weight: Less than 200 Current Weight: 201 Height: 5'11.75" So thats the short version of my story and journey
