Congratulations on your success!! You are truly an inspiration to me. I am just starting on this journey as I just had my initial consult with the surgeon. I am self pay so things should move pretty quickly, but I think I am getting cold feet.....It just seems so drastic. Then I read your post and it makes we want to be able to move again, to be able to swim and ski with my family, not just sit on the side line and watch.

Renee...it IS drastic but drastic is what we need!

I want a decent quality of life back and I'm getting there.

Before surgery, I had pretty much become sedentary and didn't like to do much of anything but sit around. It was just too much effort and I was uncomfortable and hated the way I looked. I even skipped my class reunions because I didn't want those people to see me so fat. I'm definitely planning to go to the next one though!

My husband and I are going to go and play tennis this week. That's something I always loved to do but got too fat to do. I can't wait!

There are so many things I'm looking forward to being able to do again...I could kick myself for allowing me to get that out of hand with my weight....back problems or not.

I truly feel like this surgery has saved my life.

It might be drastic...but it's way better than the alternative...which is life as a fat couch potato and likely an early death.

I choose life!

Yeah! Things sound like there rolling along just fine! I'm doing well, but the weight just seems to be holding on. I'm trying to get to the 30lb mark. Hopefully that will happen soon! Thanks for sharing, Sheryl

      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?
