Today was my first appt with bariatric surgeon. Ready for my 6 months of prep for the sleeve! If all goes well, I'll have my surgery in May! My start weight is 189 lbs. Wish me luck!

Good luck, I had my first visit in September with surgeon and first visit with The nutritionist in October I'm on united healthcare and was told 6 months. I am now switching to atena in January so that cuts me down to only four months so I'm hoping to get sleeved late January early February

I agree, I made the mistake being so excited telling some choice family members and friends, and the responses from most of them were so unreal. It's like they can't phathom you loosing weight. Hearing things like "you're beautiful the way you are" and "don't loose too much weight" took a toll on me, so I decided to not talk about it anymore, but this site def has been a great encourager even through the hard times. You got this! Good luck!!

Agreed with telling folks, my one friend told me I can just lose the weight on my own . My response is I can but I need this tool to help me maintain it. So I haven't told anyone else yet & will wait to tell my children right before surgery. I don't feel like explaining my choices because my mind is made up

Exactly, it's so disheartening that people aren't more supportive, especially people that have been pushing for you to loose weight then when you decide to have a little extra help it's a problem. My surgeon warned me of relationship changes, and sad thing is I haven't even had the surgery yet and so many relationships have suffered due to it, but good riddance, if it's my health over a person I'll most definitely choose my health

      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.
