@CrazyBeautifal31- hi! We are practically neighbors. Did you end up having your surgery? If so, who did you go thru? I am super nervous about the approval process now...

That's great! I'm at the stage of waiting to see the Nutritionist on Weds and then to see if insurance will approve. From what I hear, that's the worrisome part. I sure I can be on the losers bench as well as I am tired of being miserable.

Well saw the NUT today, all good, saw the MD again and he ordered an EKG, which I did right downstairs and all good, have to have a mammo which is Friday morning. Md called me a little bit ago and said he pulled my bloodwork from another ms and while he only has a couple things to test for, acid in my stomach and B12 plus a urine test, he said it shows I am pre diabetic!! I was pissed that the dr who took this lab work for me several months ago never told me that!

      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?
