    Looking for tips, advice, wisdom, tidbits, what to expects, wish somebody had told me, etc. from those who have had the procedure, to those of us about to embark.
    Thanks in advance!

    Yes on patience.... really look at long term. Changing your life!
    In 6 months, you may like feeling successful after years of not “keeping it off”
    In a year.... you may really like your improved life.
    Please stay off the scale for days is another hint. It WILL happen if you follow your program... short term is nothing compared to having a different life!
  3. Thanks

    Patience. You may think you have it but you will need much more. Nothing in this process happens as soon or as fast as you want it to or thought it would. Also read these forums. Even the ones you don't think have anything to do with you, you never know if you may experience something similar. You will learn tons. Good luck on your journey!!!!

    The one thing I wish I had thought of - do NOT bring an underwire bra to wear home from the hospital. It will be very uncomfortable!

    MariaBe got a reaction from MysteriousGal in November Bypassers!!   
    HI all, this is my first post ever. I have surgery scheduled for November 2. Still getting all my pre-op stuff done. I'm not nervous, just anxious because I hate waiting. I am self pay and have about 85 pounds to lose. I am the healthiest fat person there is and my BMI isn't quite there, so insurance won't pay. For what I have spent on diets the last 30 years, I probably could have paid for this surgery three times over. I CAN'T WAIT to get it done.
    Looking forward to the journey. Nice to meet all of you.
