Hello. I have been browsing this site for the last couple of weeks and finally decided to jump right in. I had my seminar in September of 2014 and finally had my consultation after 3 months of weigh-ins (well it ended up being more like four months). I was so nervous today that my blood pressure was high (I don't have any issues with it normally). We discussed and agreed on the gastric sleeve and I was sent on my merry way with 3 referrals for the Cardiologist, Pulmonary consultation and the psychology consultation. Since all the offices are attached to the hospital I walked around and made all my appointments (all but the therapist. It was a voice machine and I had to leave a message) including a pre-operative respiratory examination. I was so excited to have those appointments made before I even left the building. It just seems that what ever I want to do it is going to take more time than I think for it to get done. My dh has vacation next week and I assumed I could knock everything out of the way but the Cardiologist didn't have an appointment available till April 24....sigh! So hopefully I can take this month of April and get everything done including my 4 hour nutritional class and fingers cross a surgery date by May/June???? So again after a month wait for the consult now it is another month for these appointments to get done.

Welcome and congratulations on your decision! Believe it or not, things go really fast, especially now you have your date. I can't believe it is already late March, my surgery was 12/3/14, and it seems time has flown! The days of pre-op and post-op are a blur, I just know I am a lot thinner than I was in November! I guess I am just content with my results, and eagerly look forward now to summer, and the following seasons as a much happier and healthier person. Now it's YOUR turn! Get excited, but be prepared, you will have some difficult hills to climb. But it is worth it in the end...just always, ALWAYS look forward!

      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?

      April Surgery
      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
