Hey guys, Im doing well. Of course weight loss has slowed but the scale is back to moving after my stall. Down 32 lbs and getting in regular cardio and resistance training. Getting in the Water next week...very excited about that! Other than that I'm trying to push to goal as quickly as possible. Ive got about 100 lbs to lose to get between my goal and my drs. Long journey ahead. Lol

Thanks for checking in!

Good luck! I'm 3 months post-op and have been very happy with the results - note that weight lose is slower than you will be expecting - and lifestyle changes are the key - but it is all worth it!! Best wishes as you approach your new journey!

Hope everyone is doing well. I'm almost 2 months out and have recently started losing again since a stall of about 2 weeks. I hit the 30 pounds loss mark when I came off my stall!

Congrats to everyone that will be having upcoming surgeries.

Hi everyone.... I'm from Auburn, AL, but my surgeon is going to be Dr. Wes Turton from West Georgia Medical Center. Has anyone used him or know of him? His office is in LaGrange, GA.

Hello everybody I'm new to the site I'm from Norcross Georgia I am currently looking for a doctor that accept Medicaid only for weight loss surgery. I attended a seminar with Dr Steinberg in Decatur Georgia which was very informative but unfortunately they did not take Medicaid only so I don't know what to do now. If anyone could assist, please let me know I really would love to begin my journey with all of you

I don't know much about Medicaid, but would they have a list or something online of which surgeons accept Medicaid? Maybe a way to search within X miles of your ZIP code? My insurance company has that, so I'm assuming Medicaid might be similar. Maybe Google "bariatric surgeon medicaid atlanta"?

      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...

      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
