Hello, I'm Lena and I'm post my psych evaluation then they told me I'd be post 2 weeks to start my 10 day diet and meeting the surgeon. I'm 23 and 5'4 at 378 in weight, I'm also type two diabetic so this surgery is going to save my life.....I'm looking to find more support I have hubby and family but would love to talk to more people who have had or are having the surgery. Thanks

Good morning Lena, I had my gastric bypass surgery last Thursday. I'm 55 and was 219 lbs with sleep apnea. I was 206 the morning of surgery and am at one of my weight loss milestones. 199!! (That was as of 30 minutes ago!)

You are so very brave and smart to pursue weight loss surgery. I always thought that I could do it on my own but never had success. Good luck to you.

Hi Lena! I'm Jenn and 21 yeas old. I am 6'2 and 329 when I started my journey, 316 on day of surgery (which was yesterday). My crutch was that I'm 21 years old with hypertension, so like you, this will save my life.

Surgery went well for me! I'm being well-controlled with pain and I am having NO dreaded gas pain! I did need to be straight-cathed once because my body was lagging from surgery but other than that I feel pretty great!!!!

Good luck to you!! It's very exciting :)

Hi Lena & welcome!

I had my surgery at the end of September and I am down 96lbs. I have about 50 more to go.

I had gastric bypass and my only regret is that I didn't do it 15 years ago!

      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
