Hello Everyone *NewMember*



Recommended Posts

I'm New. And I'm just sooo amazed by everyone's stories and different topic's. I'm so glad that I have found this! To make a long story short, I've been on the heavy side all my life. But this is the biggest I've ever been and I'm soooo over it. 330 pounds is my heaviest. I'm ready to loose this unwanted weight and keep it off and get healthy. I've been doing a lot of research on the Gastric Sleeve and I think that it is the best in my eyes. I have a close friend that had it done last year and she looks GREAT. I went to my seminar and filled out the application last week and I got a call Friday saying that my insurance would cover it and I knew they would because I work for a local hospital in my city. And I'm going to get it done at their weight loss facility. And she asked when did I want to set my appointment to meet with a surgeon to go over everything. Soo you guys I'm excited My appointment is February 6. She asked did I prefer a certain surgeon but I haven't done any research on the surgeons I've been doing so much research on the Gastric Sleeve itself. I'm from Memphis, Tn and are there any sleever's in Memphis? I'm having my surgery done at The center for surgical weight loss at St. Francis Hospital.

Hey, I did some research and I did see that he had really good reviews. Good luck on everything and keep in touch. Hopefully we can share some tips and other different things with each other. But the surgeon that I choose was Dr. Wegner. He has really good reviews as well. Are you paying out of pocket with Dr. Wooden or your insurance is paying for it?

      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
