Hahaha my thought exactly. I love the 4th of July so much. So this year in my mind, the Fireworks are going to be in celebration of my life changing! I am getting so excited for the surgery and a little nervous for the post-op. I want so badly to succeed at weightloss this time!

Well we will be in it together!

Hey so I'll be 29 end of July. I'm 5'4" with a bmi of 65.2. I'm hoping to go in for surgery on or near my bday, I can't think of a better way to Celebrate 30 next yr than with a new me! I was wondering if you or anyone else was told they had to lose a certain % of weight or # of pounds before they would do surgery? Look forward to hearing more from you

@Kyn13. I was not told that, but I'm also self pay. From what I understand your insurance company can dictate that as well. I do have to do a longer pre-op liquid diet because of my BMI though. That's the only real difference I've seen between my experience and other's with lower weights.

Yeah I'm definitely not looking forward to the pre op liquid diet. My mom had to do it for two weeks, she said the first 3 days are the worst. How long will you have to do the diet?

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
