I'm in the consultation phase. Having my surgery at mayo Clinic, but do not have a surgery date yet. I'm self pay, have Aetna insurance but my plan doesn't cover anything to do with weight loss. Because I am self pay, I'm on track for a June surgery date. Anyone else having their surgery in June?

Congrats on your great success glitter eyes. You look fabulous! I'm very excited about my new journey, and a little nervous too, which I am sure is normal.

Hi @Changed2016. Yes, my surgery is Monday, June 6th! I'm on day 8 of my 14 day pre-op Optifast diet. Dr. Ellie is doing my surgery. Since he is new to mayo, it's pretty easy to get in with him.

Hello everyone. My name is Dee and I had surgery on 4-29-15. I've lost 120. I still want to lose 60 more. It's not easy at all but if you have someone to talk to and exercise and eat right you can do it. I wish the best for everyone

      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?
