Good luck to all of you tomorrow! I will be one week post op tomorrow and I have to say the relief of having it done and looking forward to the future and even the healing is SO much easier than the anticipation of the surgery it's self!

Speedy recovery!

I just had my surgery yesterday and thankfully my insurance didn't require a lengthy pre-diet but I did have to pay 2150 to the hospital before they would register me. I had bout half of that and I got a personal loan to cover the rest. I likewise have not blasted it for all to know. A few close friends' date=' my boss who is like a friend and certain family members know. I'm sure I will get alot of questions once I start loosing weight and at that point I'll tell those who ask.[/quote']

What insurance did you have? I have no copay for the surgery but I'm afraid the hospital is going to drop a bomb like that on me.

Thanks newat52 & traycrow! Ill be praying for your surgery on thursday, tray & for everyone on here who's going thru this. Im still scared. I do pray & my faith is strong, but i still get the fear bug now & again. In the bible, God says "be not afraid" 365 times. He knew we 'd need to hear it repeatedly! ;-). I know we'll all be fine. I will be so happy when I've got one week under my belt like newat52. Will try to post tomorrow after surgery....or maybe the next day. :-0

I started this journey the end of dec. Have all my test done and dr. surgeon sent me to was going to clear me for surgery except my thyroid levels are off so cant get cleared until that is fixed. I was hoping for beginning of April but at this rate I will be lucky if its May. please say some prayers we can get the thyroid fixed quickly.I have been hiding behind my fat for about 23 years and I am ready to stop hiding from what has been hurting me for so long. being sexually abused, and living a life where I was always told I was not good enough or everything was my fault. I have finally realized I deserve better and so does my family and I AM WORTH LIVING and being happy

Minime...try infant wind drops. It's the same active ingredient' date=' simithicone. In tablets they are 80mg I think, and the strips are 60mg. So you would just use whatever amount equals about that.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      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...
