Hello there!!

I thought I would introduce myself as I just downloaded this app... Well my name is Sol short for Marisol, I live in Colorado Springs, I'm 23 years old and I'm a casino dealer, I have been overweight my whole life and finally after my second try got approved for the gastric bypass I am five feet and half an inch tall, and weigh 211 pounds... I have my surgery date for February 25th and although it seems like too long from now I know it's right around the corner! I'm excited to have discover this great app and can't wait to hear from some and join you all on the losers bench!

Hi Sol! Nice to have you here! I'm still in my 3 month supervised diet, but I hope to join you soon with a date of my own. Welcome!!

Thank you guys!!

I am very excited and nervous at the same time, my sister got the surgery and I see her all healthy and skinny and how much she enjoys shopping that I can't wait but I am scared about the hair loss and the excess skin although many say I'm still young and will be okay!

Hope you get your surgery date soon too!
