Hi All,

Just wanted to give an update on my progress. It's been six months and I am feeling great. I've lost 57 lbs and continue to lose. I will go to the doctor on tomorrow and get my measurements. I have had to purchase all new pants because everything falls off. I've gone from a 18W to a 16. While the sizes do not reflect a big difference the way clothes fit makes all the difference in the world. I will keep you updated. I plan to post a after picture in the next two weeks. Keep up the great work everybody.

Okay? Can anyone advise me what I should bring to the hospital with me the day of surgery, Feb. 24th? How long is the typical hospital stay? Does the area where the incisions are fade over time, should I use any specific type of cream? Sorry, I have so many questions that I hope to get answered before surgery.

Bring lose fitting clothes that's comfortable. Hospital stay 1 to 2 days depending on how your doing. Make sure you walk as much as you can before you leave to prevent clots. No cream is needed and incisions will fade. I call them my pokes. Your questions are great ones everyone that has had this surgery has wondered the same thing. Relax and you will be so happy you have taken this journey. I have no regrets.

      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...

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
