Ok so I've done all the testing, waiting on insurance approval!!!!!!!! I'm 30 yrs old. Weighing 240 pds. Live in California, gonna have it done thru ALSA, fresno area. Nervous but, Can't wait!

Hey Congrats!! Do you live in Fresno? I live in Fresno and had my surgery with ALSA Medical and Dr. Ghiassi is my doctor. You are in good hands! I love their office and they get back to you pretty quickly. If you have any questions feel free to ask, it has only been 4 1/2 months since my surgery so I still remember it. Once approval was given (took less than 2 weeks but felt like forever) my surgery date was set 5 or 6 weeks later due to the doctor going on vacation otherwise it would have been sooner, so get ready to rock and roll :)

I don't have a date yet, but in getting this far in the process I quit dieting for the first time in a long, long time. I guess I want to eat while I can before the month of liquid dieting comes. It's crazy, but I am so excited... Even for that part.

I'll be 4 Weeks post op s of next Monday. I weighed myself today and I'm 265.8. So I'm almost 20 lbs down from surgery. I'm feeling alright. I just hate my weight loss has slowed down.

Shona you are doing great. Your body is just trying to adjust to all of this. You may notice loses in other ways besides just the scales, your clothes could be a little looser, you might have more energy, something that hurt before might not feel so bad now. Lots of ways to measure our success besides just the scales. Be kind to yourself. Follow your protocol and the weight will come off. Hugs to you.

      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?
