Hello everyone, I am on my 6 month journey to get the gastric bypass ( at least that's the one I want) I've seen my dietician , physical therapist, and counselor for a month now so ( more to go. My biggest challenge is the amount of weight I have to loose. I was 292 when my doc submitted my paperwork to insurance so that is the weight they go by..... But..... I then quit smoking and my weight shot up to 317 but they are going by 5% of my body weight of submitted paperwork!! I'm currently 298 almost back to prior quit smoking still have like 22 pounds to go.

Oh and how do you edit your profile? So far I have only figured out how to add a profile pic everything else says I haven't added it yet hehe

I just started my journey as well. I see the nutritionist for the first time next week and I already had my consultation. I have to quit smoking . can u give me tips on how?

Had first NUT last week. Next week is psych.Very excited. I am 5'10"and 308. Hoping I am actively losing as I type. We are on this journey together.

My doctor gave me Zyban to quit, hope I spelt that right. Anyway I took it for a month each week cutting my amount I would smoke a day starting with week one 20 a day week two was 15 a day and so on... I had gym through the house and car and walk when it got bad. Still gained weight but I made it. Oh and my favorite app for tracking calories fat carbs ect.. Is mynetdiary love it keeps me on track my NUT was impressed with it.
