I am going to the seminar this weekend and so I don't have a surgery date yet, but I know my insurance will cover 100% of the in-network charges. I am looking for people who went to ...or are going to go to... the Del Sol Bariatric surgery location in El Paso. I want to talk to people who have had surgery there to get feedback on the surgeons and support staff. It's important to me that I know as much as possible about the people who will be taking care of me while I am under anesthesia!

I am so glad to have this support available online, anytime I need/want it! I am planning on going to my Dr's support group meetings, but those are only once a month! So far, I have been on a clear liquid diet for 6 days--I am SO hungry! 3 more days, and then on Friday I can begin Full liquid diet for the next 2 weeks! I have never been so thirsty for skim milk in my life! :thumbup: Good luck to all--let's keep each other positive! I am going to lose 108 lbs!

      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?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
