    Hi Amanda
    My name is Monica and I am from Southern Indiana. I am new here too. I am 25 days post op RYGB.
    I started this Journey in May 2022. It was just a little over 3 months from my info class to surgery. It has been very exciting and scary at the same time. Good luck on you journey !

    Hi Amanda! My name is Nancy, and I'm new here, too. I'm in West Central Wisconsin. I just had my first meeting with my surgical team coordinator. As far as a date for my bypass, all I know is it will be in October. Definitely excited to be on this weight loss journey with this fantastic group of people!

    Hi Amanda my name is Lori. I live in Washington Court House Ohio. I am going thru the process, almost to the end. I meet with the surgeon on Monday and should get my surgery date then. At least I'm hoping so. I'm going thru OSU. I'm getting the bypass since I have issues with acid reflux.

    So far so good! I haven’t been hungry at all (but cravings still creep up… especially when food pictures or ads pop up).

    Thank you! I’m eager to to Tuesday, but scared a little also. Had my anesthesia consult yesterday so that is the last appointment (other than my covid test) before the big day.

    It’s been a wonderful experience to be able to learn from others through their experience and to share the journey with people who really understand.

    Best of luck and I can’t wait to see all the progress we make as time passes!

    Hello. How are things going for you on your pre-op liquid diet? Good luck to you on your surgery. I'm sure this is an exciting but scary time. This definitely seems like a very supportive place for people like us on all types of weight loss journeys. If you would like to talk and become friends send me a message. [emoji2]

    Welcome, Amanda! What type of surgery are you considering? I had a VSG a year and a half ago and am getting ready to have a revision to RNY. There are a lot of really great and knowledgeable people on here so be sure to ask questions that will help you on your WL journey! You’ll find that once you decide on the type of surgery you want to have you should join more specific groups. People are very happy to share their thoughts and answer questions. So…. glad you’ve joined us!?

    Hello Amanda! I am new here too! I live just outside of Austin, TX with my groom (less than a year married lol) and two covid puppies, Ricky & Lucy! I am meeting with the surgery team in late August to discuss my options, currently interested in VSG. We can be journey buddies for sure! Lots of information to process before landing on the best decision.

    Hi Amanda. I just had my VSG performed at the Clinic. I was very happy with the team of doctors and professionals that they put me in touch with as I worked to determine if surgery was the right choice for me. Feel free to message me if you'd like more info.
