I finally got my surgery date Feb 20th! After almost a year and a half of appointments and dedication.

As excited as I am, I'm terrified as well. Is this just going to be another something i fail at? I'm reading some of the post op forums and 3 months out some have only lost 6-10lbs. questioning if this is even worth it?

I gained and lost weight all my life, already at 31 have the skin to prove it. Guess I'm looking for those words of encouragement.

We all lose weight at different rates but people that have lost that slowly may have underlying concerns that are causing the slower loss.

I am two months post bypass today. I’ve lost 43 pounds since surgery, and 63 pounds down total from pre surgery. My loss post surgery has been slower than I thought it would be, but it’s steady and faster than I could have ever done without my surgery. What’s more important is already things that were becoming very challenging in day to day life are already easier, and will only become more so as I lose more weight.

Just trust in the process. Focus on reading the success stories online preoperatively so you go into surgery with that positive mind set!

Best wishes!

Thank you! Trusting the procsess
