Hello! August 21st here. So excited and nervous for this journey! I'm a single mom of two teenagers, and this is really the first major thing I have done for myself ever.

Sorry you're getting nervous. I get sleeved on Wednesday and I'm worried that I'm really not nervous. My family is more nervous than I am. Please know that there are risks with any type of procedure. Serious complications are rare and usually not life threatening, from my research. I think it's the few that you do hear from that gets us concerned. Weigh your options dear. Pros and cons and see where you come out... I did and my current medical conditions were the deciding factor. Whatever you decide to do, I wish you much luck.

At this point you've been through all the preparation and decision-making. You know this is a better option than the health risks associated with obesity. It's a very safe surgery--very low rate of complications: That's not a guarantee, but if it were the lottery, you'd like the odds. Take a deep breath, stay calm as you can, and look to the future. It can be fantastic! Good luck.

It's very normal to be nervous. I had mine done last tues 8/1. Everything was ok for me. Just remember to keep your eye on the prize. My family was more nervous than me. You will hVe some discomfort and they will give you pain meds. You'll be great!! Keep us posted.

I had anRNY on Aug 2 and I have no regrets. Yes , I was nervous, but every time I looked at the future without the surgery I knew I was doing the right thing. I'm still new at this but I have a great team at home and the Dr. practice who are there for me.

You've got this!

      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
