I was a self pay and honestly, spending the money for the surgery never bothered me. I have struggled for so long and failed at weight loss so many times, I felt like this was my lost hope. I knew that I would be dead within 10 more years at my weight. To me it was spend the money and gain a life or keep the money, continue to live a miserable life, and die at an early age. I decided to give life a shot and that to me is worth any amount of money.

Stop worrying about the money for now. Whatever you can spend that money on now, you can spend it on later. Put your life and your health first. If you have been waiting for 4 years, you have waited long enough!

just remind yourself that you have the rest of your life to worry about money...the thing is that is you get this surgery you will be able to enjoy it even more! you will be able to live longer to enjoy it..and maybe more motivated and inspired to make more than you would now. plus if i know myself when i have lotsa money its easy to go out and "celebrate" at and enjoy myself and a resturaunt...which sure helped me get to my size 28 and 360 lbs. im going in to have my WLS the begining of may and if reading this makes me sound like i have it all together that is sooooo wrong...lol i just keep reminding me that anything that the money could buy us now id still be the unhappy overweight woman who makes tons of excuses which again helped me maintain my unfit unhealthy self conscience sself i see in the mirror every day! good luck and im sure you will make the right decision for you. just seeing that everyone here has alot of the same fears and concerns than me makes this seem so much easier....wish i could pack all of you up and bring you with me to keep encouraging me and making me feel like this is the right thing...hehehehe :)

I am officially two weeks to go today! Wow, I have so much to do before I leave. Lol.

Finish a major remodel project, do two granite kitchens, move to my new house, prep for my meals after returning home. And start this preop diet. Whew!

Good for you, it is going to be worth it. Mine is booked for 5-25 with Dr. Almanza, it is amazing all the things I need to do to get ready. This is going to be a great journey.

      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
