Hello my name is Dee. I’ve trolled on here (in a good way) to get, what I’ve found to be some very useful information. I’ve started my journey in November with my first appointment weighing in at 358 (I’m 5’8”) My second appointment was 12/21/17 and I lost 4lbs. Third appointment I just had 1/30 and I was down another 2lbs. My last and final appointment is 2/13 then after that off to the insurance company (Aetna) to be approved. I’ve fluctuated so much with my weight. I’m super excited that I’ve FINALLY made this decision and so is my husband, whom by the way had his sleeve done in September and he’s down 94lbs and looks amazing! We support each other and that’s what matters but I also would love the outside positive influences from you guys I look forward to sharing this experience.

Welcome. Your husband has done great - those are impressive numbers for such a short period of time. You are on your way. So. I'm guessing your surgery will be late March or early April once approved? How are you feeling about it? It's great to have a supportive spouse. My husband has been with me 100%. It means a lot.

Yea I’m guessing late March which is fine with me. I’m feeling great about it, trying not to be jealous of my husbands success lol because as you may know men loose weight differently than we do and that’s ok. I’m in this for my own success [emoji4]

lol Yes, I do know they lose weight differently. Lucky them. Love your outlook.

Welcome and good luck with your surgery.

Welcome Dee I am your size twin HW355CW323 looking forward to. RnY surgery soon. Lets join together,on this journey. Congratulations to your hubby on his weight loss, doesn't seem fair men lose faster but that's life in the jungle as the lion said. I'm in Central Ohio, will be having surgery,at Mount Carmel in Columbus within the next 6 weeks. I'm not a bit frightened,just impatient to start on a future of better health.

I’m located in Central New Jersey and will be having my surgery at Overlook Hospital hopefully the end of March. I haven’t received my date yet but I’m excited. Not nervous. I was nervous for Hubby tough of course, but his surgery went smoothly. He had his done out in NewYork by a different surgeon and that was only because of his insurance. So I’m anxious to start eating the same as him and joining his workout regimen
