Thanks same to you

What doctor are you using if it's ok to know I'm seeing Dr. Sadek he's been doing bariatrics for a while and has the best credentials I have found in this area he's affiliated with Robert wood Johnson hospital which is a plus for me.

But will definitely change if I find someone better lol

I used Dr. Sadek also. I think he has a great overall program, along with the Bariatric coordinator and the Nutritionist he works with. I went to my first support group meeting last week, and it was really good to meet with other people in the same boat. Maybe I'll see you at the next one!

All of the doctors and nurses I've worked with seem to LOVE him, so I'm happy with my choice. I personally am losing very slow, but I'm not too bother by that because I have two years of losing... I'm hoping the slow loss helps with having less skin sag.

No date yet. The surgeon told me at my appt Friday that they will plan a date for about 2 weeks after my 6 month appt. So I am thinking end of October, early November.

It will be either Dr Montes or Dr Goyal. He told me they will both be there, just one will be lead surgeon.

      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?

      April Surgery
      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
