Good for you. I started my weight loss journey at 276 lost about 50 on my own doing Weight Watchers and then pre-op dieting thru Kaiser Options program, had the sleeve surgery almost 6 weeks ago....and this morning I was 216 pounds. Best thing I ever did was commit to getting healthy - and now I have my little tool to help me down this path. It's not a magic wand, but it helps ALOT. It's great that you are focusing on yourself. I finally learned to do that...I have 3 young adult children, and I am my new priority after decades of looking out for everyone but me.

How are all you doing? This is my first post! I am currently in the process of getting my insurance approval. It was submitted on the 5-15-12. So I am told I will begin the 2 week pre- op diet on or about the 29 of may. I can't wait to get headed in the right direction. I'm a 34 male with two kiddos I want to be here for. I hope I can get off of these dang blood psi meds. Currently weighing in at297 I am 6'2". I really can't wait I read this forum all day at work.

HI Everyone! I'm new to this site. I'm a former Lap Bander -- had emergency surgery to have it removed on May 15. I wasn't able to eat or drink anything and was in horrible pain. I was already schedule for a revision surgery on June 13 but my band slipped and so May 15 it came out. Now I have to wait until September for my revsision surgery. I'm excited and neverous. I'm nervous bc I don't want to have a horrible experience like I did with the band. I was always having trouble and was in and out of the hospital for the past 9mo with band issues b4 it acutally slipped for good. So with this new surgery I'm hoping that life gets easier and the weight ACTUALLY comes off!! The whole non-reversible thing has me a little uneasy but I have to do something or i'll put on what little weight I lost with the band!!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
