Im in Harlem too... about 3 weeks post op and I went through NYU Langone Dr. Schwack. Very attentive staff..... really walked me through the whole process that can feel like jumping through hoops before surgery... But its not even about where you do it.... If your ready... Then you will handle all that needs to be handled and you will do it... greatest decision ive ever made... I was one of the lucky ones to have no complications and really not even much pain.... but eithr way, I was with it... so just keep going and do it!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Look what the cat drug up! Hello Alex. You know, I've posted over 1400 times and have been around since Dec 2009 and I had NO idea who you were, don't remember ever seeing or hearing your name, until a day or so ago. Imagine my surprise when I saw your name this morning. New York, huh? How's the weather up there? It's been great here in Dallas. Have a nice day and congratulations on your weight loss. Good for you!! Have a nice weekend.

I'm out from hibernation and hopefully you'll be hearing from me a bit more often! :D We had some really gorgeous weather until today. It's raining at the moment. It's one of those days where you just want to stay in bed and pull the covers over your head. You've had some amazing weight loss success yourself. I'm always so inspired by the changes every one makes. Thanks a mill for your continuous participation in our community!

Girl I told you he was real :D

I must be an Alex stalker because I've seen his mug around here a lot!!

Or perhaps it's because I'm always getting caught up in "trouble" and he steps in to break it up??? o.o

Thanks Alex!!! As you can see, Laura knew exactly who you were, and there is no way she stirs up more trouble than me!!! :) I hope your weather is better today, ours is wonderful, but in a month, I may be whining a little! LoL You really have done good, how far out are you from surgery? I'll Celebrate 3 years in 3 days. Yay! I haven't run into a road block, so far so good on this maintenance part, I've been doing it for 2.5 years, we'll see. I do a revaluation about every three months, just because I am a bit obsessive! ;) Have a nice weekend Alex....you too Laura!

I was pretty freaked out too. I was so overwhelmed w the different diet phases, thought, " I'm I really going to be able to follow all of it?" Then I thought to just follow each phase regardless if I liked the choices that was listed. Though it seemed impossible, taking I one phase at a time, really help kept me focused & less stressed. I actually followed the directions word for word & had no complications. I was concerned that it took a few months to be able to drink the required amount of fluids & meet my daily Protein requirements, but doc told me not to worry or try to force anything. With patience & pep talks w husband, best friend & doctors office staff during post op appts, I got through it w no complications. No trips to hospital or anything. You will get through it just find. Just think about how healthier u will b, how good you will feel and look. Think about the end results. Very rewarding.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      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!!
