This is the funniest thing ever! My info session wasn't that entertaining either but I really enjoyed it. I was surprised to hear about the pre and post op procedures which freaked me out a little but I'm so excited to get the ball rolling and make this change!! I know it will be worth it

The session I attended was just as bad!

Husband and wife walked in together and the husband has a bag of McDonald's! I totally thought I was being Punk'd. Seriously? The presenter asked him to leave.

There was a lady in the room who had surgery years ago, but brought her friend who was interested. This woman bitched the whole time and questioned the surgeon as if he was doing his surgeries wrong. All I remember is her saying "well, I couldn't have beef! I can't digest it! They told me to never eat it! "

Ugh.

I'm nearly 13 months post op and it's crazy how some people don't realize that you DO have to give up stuff for this to work. Would I like to have a coke? Sure. There are several things I would like, but know that I can't have and I'm ok with it. Being healthier and feeling better outweigh everything!

Bummer. I missed out on some fun, it seems. I didn't get a seminar, just had my gastroenterologist and surgeon come in my hospital room and give me a one on one.

am i the only one who had the option to do the seminar online its mostly because me and the husband are anti social and dont like driving to places just to do something if it can be easily done from the comfort of home. so no crazies and i got all the info and had to take a short quiz to prove i watched the video

Seriously. I think about this on a regular basis. In fact, when I get down on myself because of my weight, remembering this makes me feel better. I'd sure as hell rather be obese than stupid. And pretty soon, I won't have to choose!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
