With my company it is a loan of my 401k. I determine how much based on the amount is available. I pay it back from my paycheck up to 60 months at a 3.25% interest. That way there is no penalty. It is different from a withdrawal

I want to be around 140- 150...I want to be small, yet still curvy. Once I have my surgery I will really hit the gym of so the weight can come off...hopefully I will not have too much excess skin

I'm going to start walking off the pounds now. Then kick it up a notch as I lose. Do it smart.

He's on the same team as Dr. Garcia :) so you're in good hands. I've heard really good things about Dr. Garcia as well.

Yes I decided not to go to the doctor because my sister and I are going together and she has a lot of health issues and I am doing all the research for her and I could not live with myself if something was to happen to her we are going 2/2013

I made my deposit last week on both my husband's and my surgery thru alighterme and we did not get a confirmation. Did you all get a confirmation?

I haven't officially paid my deposit yet. I have to wait until I get paid on the 25th, but if I wire it into their account I will just use the paperwork from my bank as a confirmation. Contact your coordinator and get them to send you one.

      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
