Good evening everyone! I just joined this group. After years of fluctuating weights and feeling unsure about having this surgery performed, I have decided to move forward. Today was my initial appointment and first meeting with the nutritionist. My insurance isa pain and I have to have 6 months worth of nutritionist appointments in order to qualify so I'm still a few months out before my surgery can take place.

I'm 31 and a mom to 4 beautiful children. My husband had the rue n y done when he was with his first wife and had a lot of success. He loves me exactly as I am, but I'm doing this for myself, my health and my future. I'm the smallest women in my family and every single woman has major health related issues due to being morbidly obese. I don't want to experience that. In 30 years, I want to be scuba diving with my husband, hiking the falls, and generally enjoying life!!

I'm currently 5'6 and weigh 252 lbs. (whew! That's tough to say) I took this collection of pictures the night before my appointment.

I'm looking forward to meeting others on this journey!! post-296384-1468552274012_thumb.jpg

Darn girl! I felt like I was looking at my own pre op pics there! Seriously. Same body type!

Congrats on your journey! How excited you must be to get going. It's a big decision, but like the majority here will tell you- worth every second!!!

I wish you much success. For now you're in a holding pattern until your surgery- but after- you will be so happy with your choice!

For the record- I'm 14 weeks post op RNY- starting weight- 272 (!!!) current weight- 195!!! See it only gets better!Good luck!

Hello Lisa and Mrs Norris

I am 36 married with 2 children and I can totally understand the family issues that come from obesity. I have several cousins and 1 sister who has had surgery in the last few years and they are doing well. I have type 2 diabetes and having the surgery could be a success in where I wouldn't have to take any medication. I had my bypass surgery July 12th and I came home yesterday July 14th. I feel fine just a headache but not too bad. I am trying to see how to add pictures but I can give you my Stats:

6'1

HW:380

SW: 315

GW:185

I wish you ladies much success in your journey!

      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?
