Hi everyone my name is Tricia. I'm 34 and have 2 children. I started my weight loss journey in June at 244lbs. I am at 230 now. The hardest part for me was quitting smoking. But my surgery is this monday!

Congrats!!! You've got to be about to explode:)

Mind if I ask what your weight is now?

Congrats! I'm currently waiting for my insurance to authorize my surgery. The office won't schedule until approval which has been difficult for me to deal with. I commend you for quitting smoking. You have your eye on the prize! I hope that you have a smooth surgery and good recovery. New year...brand new you!

Take Care

Congrats to you!!!! Quitting smoking was made up the day of my seminar. I didn't want anything to interfere with my surgery. My procedure was done Dec 3 and so far so good. Good luck to you on Monday.

I'm not sure what I weigh now...Weighed in at my surgeon's office at 212 on Halloween, and won't weigh in again til my next visit later this month. Was so worried about stalls, I figured I'd just save myself the stress, do what I need to do, then be pleasantly surprised (I hope) at my next visit.

Awesome move in the quitting! New life and good health is definitely on the way. Congrats on your surgery! Hold on tight it's a wild ride but so worth it!

So I'm all done. Surgery was yesterday morning and went great. No issues. My heart rate has been going up a bit. I had some broth tonight. And off the iv. I had an oral tylenol, and couldn't keep the water down. The pills luckily stayed in. I've been walking to/from the bathroom on my own. And around the wing a few times. No real pain, just discomfort.
