Hi everyone! This is the first time for me posting in this forum. My surgery is set for June 29th. Anyone on or around that date that wants to follow each other's progress? I start the 2 week pre op diet tomorrow...kinda had a food funeral this weekend.

I'm actually at the weight my drivers license says, lol. Which for the record I never told them that weight, they just picked one and put it down. But I'm down from my highest weight right at 100 pounds, and from my surgery down 65 pounds about. At 250ish right now.

Oh and I never used to get hit on... happened 3 times this week, lol. I guess a different aura is emitted from me when I feel more comfortable.

The picture by the water was the weekend of my first appointment with my surgeons office the beginning of march, second is mini golfing at a friends birthday about a week ago

Arianna, you look like a new person! Keep up the good work!

How is everyone doing? I'm down to 195 pounds and starting to feel comfortable in my own skin again. Thank God! I am noticing that my hair is falling out more than it used to, so I'm going to include Biotin in my daily regimen of vitamins. I also need to drink mor water! My skin is so dry when I wear black pants it looks like the insides of the legs have snow on them because my skin is so dried out! Oh well, it's all fixable. I have no regrets about surgery. I would do it again in a heartbeat, but I'm not going to!

Hey there!! I'm at my half way point! Down 56 lbs since surgery! My dr actually told me I should be losing more. I was shocked. He said because I am so short (4.11) it will fall off slower. Grrrreat. But honestly I am very happy! I have not bought new clothes yet, just wearing belts but I'm thinking about jean shopping. With losing this weight I actually had a breast cancer scare but thankfully just a benign cyst that has probably been there a while. I haven't bought new bras or anything. I'm honestly kind of scared. I think I am still a 0-1x and I'm so done shopping in the "women's" section so will wait a bit longer.

Has someone choked with the bypass?

Choked? No..

I haven't choked, but vibe gotten things stuck as they call it. Only option for instant relief is to make yourself vomit.

Here's my progress so far...252 pounds in the first picture, 188 in the second. #nevergoingback #totallyworthit

Looking great. Keep up the good work. Mine is in 6 days..nervous but excited.

You look great @@smrogg!!!

It is worth every but of anxiety, insure you. It has been almost 5 months and not a day goes by that I don't wish I did it sooner!! Good luck!

I can't wait to be under 200. Hoping by my 6 month follow up which is December 21.

This is my favorite side by side so far.

That's amazing. You are a rockstar.

How's it going everyone? I'm wondering at almost 6 months in if anyone is having any setbacks or issues?

I am at a stall but am hoping I jump out soon. I have had horrible bloating and gas pains for going on three days. Any advice on getting it to mosey on its way? I'm a 1st grade teacher so I'm always walking. The gas just feels "stuck"
