Don’t do it lol. It won’t fit when you think you’re ready.

I remember i had this super cute summer dress that was a size medium from years ago. I told myself i just wanted to lose enough weight to fit into it. Fast forward to this past summer, i found it while moving and tried it on. It literally fell right off me and on to the floor. Not even my big old flotation devices could hold that dress up.

So annoyed. Just got my surgery moved out due to booking issues. Nothing I have done. Now looking like February. So upset right now

Mine was just pulled too thanks to a bureaucratic stuff up. Was to have been in October but because some clerk didn’t get me in to see the head I am now likely to have to wait another 4-5 months. So annoyed right now.

Seeing surgeon Tuesday and hoping for a date in October. I’m a newb here. Nice to see encouragement. Really needing this surgery ASAP. Tired of going to a mall and no clothes fit and retail staff ignorance

I'm finding this post to be really helpful. I'm really nervous about not being able to handle the pain after surgery and I really don't want the fear of pain to hold be back from going through with it. It's nice to be able to hear from other people who have already gone through the experience so I have more of an idea of what to expect.

Before: Early December 2017, must have been 370-375
After: Early September 2018, about 287


80 down, 90 to go.

I'm a post op R.N, working in a hospital, and my surgery is in September (sleeve). I can attest that often people overpack, and simply dont use the stuff. This forum is great, though, because phone chargers are something we get asked about often[emoji4]

@ momrn247 . although you might never thought you'd hear this phrase" Thank You for Your service!" Every nurse I have ever met be it on Med-Surg or Ambulatory Surgery floors has been an angel in Scrubs, there are times I must confess I have not been a sterling patient but they have put up with my foibles and insecurities and been a perfect professional lady or gentleman through it. And yes I have had male nurses, and in a female-dominated profession they have been absolute jewels. So thank you again and if you happen to be my nurse in September I,promise I'll TRY to behave well!😛🙏😛

Awesome dude. Really impressed and so needed to see that right now. I’m about 6-8 weeks out

Down 150 pounds. Why didn’t I do this surgery 10 Years ago!?!?!?

I have just broke the 100lb dropped mark today. I'm so stoked. It's amazing.
I just wanted to share.

Leaving the hospital, saying my farewells to this magical man! 😍

Just turned 40 in June. I'm having surgery in about 10 days and it is finally hitting me!
My old doctor proposed weight loss surgery wayyyy back in 2011. I'm sort of thankful I didn't do it then because it was the band and just sitting in the waiting room for a consult and having everyone discuss their adjustments made me uncomfortable. Also the surgeon seemed hurried, like he was running an assembly line, so I bolted.
Ideally I would have had surgery about 3 years ago when I was not in-between jobs, but it took me a lot mentally to get here, breaking out of my delusion that my yo-yoing was not real, that years were passing by and that it would happen without surgery tomorrow.
I'm also interested to hear what others in their 40s think.
