I am from Southern Illinois. I was wanting to have my surgery in Herrin but being self employed & no Ins. the private pay fee here is way more than I can afford so I am going Oct. 25 to Mexico to Dr.Lopez & Dr.Osana.

Im so excited to get this started but so nervous as well. Im worried that i might have too much scar tissue for them to perform this lap. Im hopeful though. I was could go to Herrin in town here but because i might be a more difficult case, i chose St Louis... had a co worker go there she loved it!

I'm close to you. I'm in Cape Girardeau MO. I've started the process with a doc in St Loius, and I really like him. But I would be self pay. My insurance is starting coverage next year, but only at the hospital I work at. I'm going to schedule an appt with the local doc, then make my decision.

      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
