That is soooo awesome!! I so so hope for those kinds of results!! I know for sure I wouldn't qualify for insurance coverage-I'm 130 lbs overweight but totally healthy AND we are switching insurance July 1st so that gums that up. My sister just lost her insurance so we decided self pay was the way. Totally researched everything and am very comfortable with the whole situation. I live off 78 just past the fairgrounds on Slayton Settlement. My son is good friends with Ele Eckert-whose family lives on Reger. I would love to pick your brain sometime if you're ever available for coffee...(or a Protein shake!). :)

Hi, I am from Hamburg, NY. I have my surgery date scheduled June 26 with Dr. Posner at BGH. I am excited but nervous. The process did not take nearly as long as I anticipated. Have been on the south beach diet since March and have lost 20 lbs so far.

Yes we do! Why are you being resleeved? I know how you are feeling. I originally had the band. On top of feeling sick all the time I felt like a total failure when the band didn't work for me. I hope you have better luck this time. When is your surgery?

It'll get better each day. Just keep sipping and make sure you're not taking gulps of Fluid. Mix it up and have some sugarfree Jello with u or popsicles. Try getting your Protein dtink on before u leave for work and on the way.

      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?

      April Surgery
      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
