hello to everyone i have been lurking around the forums for a while here and figured i would finally jump in and be more of an active member, just to kind of introduce myself, and tell everyone what i have going on

im 35 years old from rock falls illinois, there are no bariatric teams within close proximity to me so i decided to go with dr breitman at rockford memorial hospital in rockford illinois for my rny gastric bypass, i had my initial consultation on august 1st 2016, i got lucky and my insurance company doesnt require a supervised diet so things have been moving along pretty quickly, i had a little hang up when my stress test for the cardiologist came back abnormal so i had to get an angiogram which came back normal.

Im 5'8" and my high weight at the start of the process was 370, and since ive been following the diet my nut put me on ive gotten down to 302 already

as of last week im just waiting a month to do the follow up appointment for my sleep study and 3 weeks later they have my surgery scheduled for december 13th, they said i could have went november 8th but i thought that was a bit too soon and i need to get some finances in order for while im off work, but im getting more excited every day since they gave me the date and looking forward to joining everyone on the losers bench

      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.
