Good Morning all and Happy St. Pat's Day!!

I was approved for WSL last March, went to the mass indoc session and walked out after the Doc was late arriving for the group discussion. Also was not impressed with the office staff. I am sure they are competent, but somewhat curt.

In any case I figured I would come back when I was in a better mood, but never did. I also thought - in the back of my mind, that I could do the weight loss without surgery. Wrong!!!

I went for my physical this past 3/1 and had gained more weight. My PA almost cried and said I was killing myself. I told her about leaving the indoc class and asked if WLS was still on the table. She said she would put me in again. Well yesterday I got the approval subject to Psyc and Nut evals. I passed before so should be ok this time.

So today I will call and make the apts for the evals. This time I will not walk out on the prelim indoc.

Anyway, I have a high school reunion 9/11 and I want to look good for my X-wife :scared2::thumbup:. Now don't jump on me, I am doing this for myself and my kids and current wife.

Will keep you all informed.

Regards

Hal

Hi, well I'm glad I'm not the only one taking a while.... I actually began the process in 2008, got approved and had all the tests done, etc., but procrastinated on losing the required weight .... only 11 pounds.... but it took me over a year to do it! I think I needed the time to ponder, research, and make sure it was a good decision for me. Now I'm finally scheduled for surgery on 3/31/10! It's been a long road getting to this point, but now I feel ready! Good luck to you. :cursing:

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
