She told me that because of a drop in Protein Hair loss is common and that she knows many people that put all of the weight back on within 7 years. She made it seem like an ordeal that would yield results that wouldn't last. It was pretty discouraging.

Wow........ I think if you do what your dr tells you to do I you will be fine.

Hi everyone I'm also a newbie. :) super excited for this life style change. My surgery is scheduled for June 16th so we are only days away! I'm on day 3 of a low calorie diet the drs require. I'm so glad to have found this site. Everyone going thru this needs to be reminded they can do it and they aren't alone. :) super thrilled to read everyone's posts!

Hey there! I am pretty new here myself! I started this Journey in Febuary and per insurance, completed my 3 month/90 day multidisciplinary supervised diet/psych eval. I cwas finished with all that on 05/07/14 - all my paperwork was submitted to insurance (Aetna) on 05/09/14 and I recived my approval on 05/15/14!! I had my EGD (scope) completed yesterday and all went well! I have the GREEN LIGHT for surgery which I have scheduled for 07/31/14! I have my nutrition class and EKG on 07/07/14. I could have gotten the surgery sooner but, I will have been with my company a year on 07/29/14 and once you have been here a year, you get 2 weeks paid at 100% when you go out for short term disability. Verrrrry excited not only for myself but, everyone here who is embarking on this journey with me!

Good luck everyone!

I just finished my 6 months on Monday. Then found out my surgeon was retiring, so I just met with a different surgeon from the same office Thursday. I actually liked him better than my original. Everything should be submitted to insurance today and I'm hoping for surgury in July.

I'm fairly new too. My insurance didn't require a diet, so I just had the seminar in April. Then met with nut and also had psych eval. Had consult with surgeon a month after seminar. Had lots of bloodwork. I was approved by insurance this week, and I got my surgery date of 7/1!!! So excited. I meet again with surgeon and also with nut for pre and post-op diet info next week. Start the 2 week liquid pre-op diet on 6/17. It's all happening!!!! Yay!!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      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...
