Hi everyone! I have just decided this past week to pursue weight loss surgery. My PCP says that I should have the bypass. I can't take hearing how pretty I would be if I lost weight another time. My final straw was lying to my husband..... He is taking me on a cruise for our anniversary... We were deciding on flying or driving. I lied to him... I told him I was scared of flying so we agreed We would drive to the port.... I can't take any of this anymore. I want a life of less fear and more LIVING. I just pray that I will qualify and not have any issues getting this done. I need help!!!

You'll be ok. Keep pushing you'll get through this .. I'm waiting for the surgery date. So nerve wrecking. My surgeon actually suggested the Bypass and I'm going with that because I want to lose 120lbs

Lol yeah we all have that thought in the back of our heads. I know I do... But well be knocked out up until the surgery is over we won't feel/know a thing. Which I guess is a plus for us. Like my surgeon said.. Surgery is the easy part lol..

My pcp said my insurance company is notorious for denying people wanting weightless surgery, even if it is proven medically necessary. She is just preparing me. She told me that she will do whatever it takes to get me the surgery though. Gotta love that lady :)

      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.
