I finally decided in April it was time to make the change I knew I had needed for many years! I made the appointment to see a surgeon at our local Bariatric center. Went and got all the info I needed and then some! Of course the doctor dropped a bombshell on me! They do not do surgery on anyone over 450 pounds. That day I weighed 520 on their scales. My insurance requires 6 months of monthly weigh in appointments. So I had 6 months to lose 70 pounds. I thought I had went their in hopes of surgery to help me lose the weight! So with some help of some prescriptions from him and a lot of will power I have been exercising at least every other day if not more and eating much less and much more healthier meals. Making sure I get in all my Protein that I will need after my surgery. In July alone I lost 45 pounds. As of today I currently weigh 417 and hope to be under 400 by the time of my surgery. Last weekend we had my youngest sons adoption party and I was 2 jean sizes and 2 shirt sizes down from where I started. When my wife showed me these comparison pictures from when my journey started until now and it was the first time I really realized that you could tell how much I have lost already! Can't wait for my last weigh in Sept 13 so I can get my surgery date!!!
