I'm new to this app! I have been overweight off and on since my twenties. I'm 34 now. I have sleep apnea, acid reflux, depression and anxiety and fibromyalgia. I went to my seminar last night and have my first appointment on the 24. I started reading and documenting my weight and calories in February. Hopefully I got all of my stuff done so that I can take my tests, lab work and join the losers bench soon!!

I'm also in VA. I'll be having my RNY at Duke. :) I was told today to become active in this forum (I've been creeping for a few months haha) and make RNY buddies for support.

My insurance requires 6 months supervised weight loss appointments and a few other requirements before I can schedule my RNY. January is the plan. I met with my dietician and psychologist today, both gave me the green light. I just have an endoscopy and a few more months of my weight checks.

Nice!!! I have been trying since February to get this going. I was in SC and now my husband is stationed in VA. So I just have to get my surgeon my medical files. But I'm not sure how long all that will take.

      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
