Congrats on making it to the losers' bench! I hope it is smooth sailing over here too. It's still a bit scary *not knowing* if I'll get through these last 3 weeks. OMG! It really is just 3 more weeks!!

I hope you continue to heal.[/quote']

Your going to be fine. It really doesn't hurt as much as I thought it would. These 3 weeks will go quick. If you have any questions let me know I'll be glad to answer anything. I can't wait to see how fast it comes off but I'm just taking it one day at a time. Good luck! !!

Hi Tina727

Thanks for your views I would like to say a bit ,first we here are here because this is our last hope and I believe each and everyone of us here have tried everything they could before even considering I have friends who this is not even their first time but third so let us get this one first that this is and was our last hope of getting our life's back.

The biggest losers - these people are just like us but were very fortunete again let me say fortunate to have been chosen to go through this to get thier life's back the humiliation they went through cannot even be compared to some of the nasty words that have been used for some of us here some of us have lost loves of our lives just because we are fat,some friends,some could not even go out in the community,or social events for fear of what people will say of react because of our size so I can say this for myself if could go on biggest losers and have a new life with minimum extra skin toned body and on and on I would jump in with my heads .

This is a show to make people like us realise that it is possible to lose weight woth excircse but as you can see you need 24/7 motivation,team work and 1000% dedication and in our world how many can afford this time wise and financially so girl please choose your words wisely secondly try asking your insurance company if the would pay for a year of what the biggest losers do and go through and also ask for a bypass and see which one they would jump to say yes to pay so being on here and having surgrey is easy we. Ould lose our lives ,have to be on medication for life, can not eat whatever and everything we want or like so its not just a choice but our only choice that's why it's so important to us that's why even though we've not seen each other we love them to bits and support each other making sure they are okay each day so please we Re not loser but. Champions in loosing weights that has humiliated us for years and put us down for years and has made us lose loved ones and friends

TINA727 WE ARE CHAMPIONS OF LOOSERS THANKYOU

Today is the day! Only a few more hours and I'll be having my surgery! I can't believe how quickly time has gone by... Am I still dreaming? Haha! The nerves are really kicking in now.

My surgery is August 6 and I am the same' date=' very excited but very nervous![/quote']

I just had surgery on August 5th and I had the bad for a year and got gastric bypass. I am so happy I decided to have this revision because I HATED the band and I am praying that I love bypass. So far so good just in pain :/ haven't lost any weight yet I think it's from all the fluids, it's making me so bloated. Does anyone no when you usually start losing?

Thanks!!

Congratulations I had mine on the 3rd and you should see the difference from a week going god luck
