I am Pre op i am about one month away from getting my surgery date and excited to have a life again. I am 24 years old and I am 370lbs. I can't wait to be able to go shopping with out being in pain or my hips giving out. My husband and I want to have more kids we have one 8yo son now but I can't get pregnant anymore because of my weight. I want to have fun with my son and run and go on rids and live. I just can't wait to get my life back. I hope that I can find people on here going threw what I am going threw either now or before surgery any advice or comments

Hi Healthyamy, I am pre-op as well. Only I don't have a date yet! I'm waiting for my insurance through my husbands work to start next month and go form there! Although I'm not too confident that weight loss surgery will be covered. Boo! Anyway, I'm keeping my options open and staying prayerful that I'll have the surgery sooner rather than later. I am new to this forum and know that I'll need friends as well through this process. I'd be happy to chat with you and hopefully encourage you as well. I do feel your pain about not being able to get around comfortably. Knee , back and hip pain! The struggle is real girl! Good luck with everything that is coming your way. Here's to smaller clothes in the not so distant future.

Hey guys I'm also new to the forum. I am post-op. I was sleeved 6 weeks ago. The changes in my life are amazing. If there's anything that I can help you with I'm more than happy to. Wishing you both the best.

Hi, my surgery is jauary 5th, I'll be having gastric bypass. I am 31 years old and have an almost 8 year old as well. Feel free to send my a message if u want to chat or add me as a friend. :-) good luck with your surgery!

In January when I started the process I was 275lbs with the of my PCP and surgeon I lost around 10-12lbs pounds before starting the pre-op diet. After pre-op diet I lost 20-21lbs and went into surgery around 246. As of today I am 222lbs that's a total of 53 pounds.

@omerbrasa2807, that is awesome! What does it feel like to loose so much weight in such a short amount of time?

@@healthyamy, thank you! I figure if I speak it into the universe, the powers that be will set into motion the desires of my heart! I decree and declare it in the name of God!

@@Social Introvert I feel amazing. I can up 5 flights of stairs without getting tired, I can also jog 5 miles. I still have to get used to the idea that I'm no longer 275 lbs, but info feel great.

Omer you Amy is my wife you better respect or you will deal with me I'm not playing with you

I was enjoying this thread until whatever just happened...lets keep threats out of this.

@@healthyamy

You need to change your password. Your husband is strange.

First I'm not strange and I would never hurt my wife I'm just making guy's stay in their place she wouldn't have married me first off we share everything she has my password to stuff and does the same thing I do when it comes to girls so b4 you run your mouth know the facts or stop taking to her end of story

I can say whatever the fuck I want

If your a guy fuck off and don't talk to my wife

It is very strange to post threats through your wife's account. It is not ok to prohibit your wife from talking to someone. That's abuse.

Seek help.
