Hey Pacupatty,

I am 64 and hoping for insurance approval. I have just begun the 6 month supervised diet. I sure wish I was done with that and approved. I really want to be able to walk without the breathlessness.

I hope you do well and will be looking forward to your posts.

hi newlife, i had to do 6 mos also. I have UHC in NY. my sugeon was ablt to get by with 5 mos documentation. Isnt it sad that we have fail on another diet for 6 mos? If we could diet and keep it off we wouldnt need the surgery ;) I am 10 days post-op and finally feeling better. I believe younger people do better post-operatively, but here I am. Down 14 lbs already. Dont have any appwetite and making sure I get my 80-90 grams of Protein every day.

Hello. I'm 57 and had my surgery on May 31. Too bad that I was not aware and the procedure was not available years ago. I have oster-arthritis and that is all, but other problems were just over the horizon. I know that, and consider myself to be most lucky.

I'm 19 and got mine done 3 days ago.

Allthough I haven't recieved any of the blessings yet, I'm glad that I did it now

Because right now, I'm not in bad health, no medical issues, heart rate returns to normal quickly after exersise. But I knew that if I didn't take this weight off, it would start to affect(effect, oh jesus, i dunno, lol) my health.

Plus, I've allready wasted so many years of my life being fat, why waste more

And, purplegirl

I hope everything goes a-ok for you and you get your surgery

I sure know that being over weight in high school sucks!

I wish I had the opportunity when i was 16...loose all the wieght before college! It'll be like starting a new life!!

Ps. Nice birthday, I'm october 17th!

      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...

      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
