Starting the journey on April 13th 8am..I am in the parking lot of my local Bariatrics surgeon office waiting for it to open. Today is the initial seminar. Today is the beginning of my journey. Will insurance cover? Will I have 6 month waiting period? Stay tuned...

Fantastic update! Glad to hear you are feeling pretty good.

Day 7 Update (10/31/17) Happy Halloween!!

Had my first Post Op appointment with Surgeon yesterday..weighed in at 244! Down from 260, so that is 16 pounds lost. Nobody has really noticed, but that is ok. I am sure my mom will when she visits on Thanksgiving.

Doc has me on 3 Protein shakes a day for the next two weeks until my next appointment which is Nov 13th.

Feeling good, NOT hungry at all which is a nice change. Taking my water in one sip sip sip at a time.

So will post again soon.

So glad you’re feeling Ok. Happy Halloween!

Of course your mom freaked, most Moms notice when you loose 5 pounds lol. I won"t be seeing my Mom until Thanksgiving so we'll see how that goes.

Pretty good thanks! I had to get my BMI up to 35 so I had a shot at qualifying. My sleep test came back with mild sleep apnea so that is "good" too because I needed a co-morbidity. I have a 90 day waiting period and that'll be up mid-December. So, i'm looking at late Dec/early Jan hopefully!

Glad this all worked out in the end my friend! Here is to a new you and a new lease on life! Im honored you messaged me for support and happy it all worked out for you in the end!!!
