Congratulations....it may be (seem) like a long journey...but it will be worth it... you are so lucky you are taking control of this while you are still young... this will help with the loose skin and tone, for sure!

I wish I had done this YEARS ago myself...

Good luck to you...

This is about you, so don't worry about what people say. This is your life and you can always make new friends. Good luck, I am thankful to have finally had this surgery and feel good about myself.

Wow... sorry to hear you are getting that B.S. Some people are so judgemental. It's ignorance really. It is NOT easy. It's the most effective *long term* treatment out there for obesity. Congratulations to you for going for it!

YOU need to be the informed one...many people don't realize that it is still WORK, and this is just a tool.

Obesity is a disease...it is documented as such since June 2013, which shows how we have progressed :(

If someone hasn't lived your life, they don't know what you have gone thru... so just take their "opinions" and move on... you can do this for YOU!!!

first step is having the surgery. the skin removal comes a while from now. from what I understand the easiest way of getting insurances to pay for it is to have all the rashes and stuff documented. the one problem I have with that is I haven't had any since surgery. good luck on surgery and fast healing to you

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so 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!!
