That's awesome! How are you feeling about everything? I know as soon as a date was set my nerves really hit, even though I'm a 1000% sure it's the right choice.
It's weird, some days I'm really anxious and that's all I think about and other days I'm like totally chill. Honestly, I'm just ready to be on the losers bench, I'm ready to be healthy, motivated, and feel good about myself. What about you?

I'm in the same boat. I'm just ready to really get on this journey. I have a lot of weight to lose so I'm excited for it to finally stop feeling so overwhelming and impossible.

Aw thanks Melanie! Congratulations on the weight loss. That 1lb won't be a thing to lose! That is what I keep telling myself whenever I feel down or I don't have to energy to keep pushing. We got this!

Well I was going back and forth between the DS and the Bypass but I finally decided on Gastric Bypass, mostly because of my age. I didn't want to have to deal with some of the side effects of the DS quite yet haha. How about yourself? Where are you located?

It depend on where I go. I could potentially have a higher out of pocket expense if I don't go to a "center of excellence". So basically I have to pay my deductible for the year before I can get the surgery done. I believe my deductible is 350 but I also have to pay 350 for the hospital stay. So $700 in Total. Not including other expenses. Lucky you! Did you have a waiting period before you got approved for surgery? Lol I haven't been to Florida yet, but August 15th my fiancé and I is finally going to Disney world for the first time lol. I don't mind the cold unless it's like forty below zero lol.

      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?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
