Hey all!!

A little about myself:

I'm 22 years old && have always dealt with weight issues. I graduated high school in 2008 && have since gained 40 pounds O_o!! Tell me about it, right? I honestly have NO idea how I've gained all this weight. Last year I went up to 251 lbs at only 5'3". I am now down to 235 lbs. In 2007 I was 218 lbs. If I could I would blame the difference on college but that's not the problem. I've met with my surgeon, Dr. Gersin, from Carolinas Weight Management in Charlotte, NC. I've gone throughout my psych eval && met with my nutritionist. I have my exercise eval on 12/4 && hope to be sleeved March 2013. Does anyone have any tips/suggestion? Or just want to converse?

Hey!! Thx so much. I'm sure you are so excited about Dec. 21 date! I'm excited for you. How long or did you have to do a diet program?

My insurance (anthem bcbs) didn't require one. The program that I am in does require a two week pre-op liquid diet. I'm very thankful that I didn't have to do a 30-60-90 diet as some insurances do have people complete.

I'm not sure why my iPad filled in those numbers for me. I meant to say a 3/6/9 month diet.

Hi everyone. My name is Bonnie and I am 29. I was sleeved November 12' date=' went home on November 14 and came back on November 18 in severe pain. I am NOT trying to scare any one, but I am a part of the 1% that developed a leak. If you guys have any questions or concerns, just let me know and I will try to help![/quote']
