Hello Everyone!

I'm going from band to gastric bypass on 8/6. I have mixed emotions excited, happy, nervous! I'm glad we are all on this site so we can cheer each other on! The best to all with surgery. It's sooo scary but a great choice to be able to have a chance to live healthier ..... Look forward to hearing from everyone!!!

My date was set today! August 19th here. My pre-op testing is August 4th and mandatory classes on the 14th. I began considering weight loss surgery 10 years ago, as I have been morbidly obese since I was 8 years old.... Fast forward 20 years and I'm 28 and finally taking control of my body! And I couldn't be more excited/anxious!

I'm so excited for all the possibilities that come with getting happier and healthier. My fiancé and I will finally have our wedding (I haven't been able to face searching for a wedding dress knowing I'm not going to feel like a beautiful bride and I certainly don't want the pictures to remind me! Fall 2015 wedding here I come!) Also, babies! I want some to have/adopt children and be able to keep up with them (and not be the fat mommy at the park).

I simply want to feel like me! I feel like I'm trapped in a body that engulfs everything that I am! As far as I'm concerned, August 19th is my second shot at a happy life!

So very happy for you....I love the positivity!!!

My date is Aug 20! I'd love to follow with you. I am definitely not in your age bracket, I'm 64, but much will be the same!

I am also 64 and my revision (lap band to RNY) is also Aug. 20. I've been pretty cool up until now. I am getting anxious, eating too much….you?

I'm getting super excited! I have my pre-op testing and final appointment with my surgeon on August 4. I'm sure I will start the livers shrinking diet that day as well. I can't believe after all this time it's only a few weeks away!

We are all going through this together! Age certainly doesn't matter when it comes to that!

Thank you, I'm definitely excited but a little nervous too not really because of the surgery but more because of the hope that this will fix the complications. I'm excited about weight loss too and getting back in shape but my fiance really wants me to focus on healing versus losing weight since that's the reason I'm really getting this surgery. It's really hard not to think about the weight loss and exercising too though since that's the reason I really got any surgery in the beginning but Matt wants to make sure I can get Protein, Water and Vitamins in religiously before I start doing a lot of exercise.

We shall see, I'm crossing my fingers for both! Pre-op for me starts Tuesday :)

I got some bad news today and it's giving me a bad feeling..I'm due for some good luck so getting bad news right before surgery is scaring me. I just switched to this primary doctor because my last doctor left the state to practice somewhere else and now I just got super comfortable with my doctor and she is leaving the state on the 4th :( she was supposed to help me get off the Lortab and now she's going to be gone..this is the second time in 1 year that I'll have to switch doctors and I don't want to. She was really amazing and now I have to start all over AGAIN. Hopefully the next doctor will be as nice and understanding as she is but I'm very weary..

      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?
