So My surgery date finally happened today. I am scheduled for June 4th. I am super stoked but also scared if that makes sense. I often wonder will I look 100 years old since I am already 55 and I wonder if my face will cave in. Maybe I am over reacting thoughts in my brain. It is always scary I am sure whenever anyone goes in for surgery. My son does not want me to have the surgery since he lost his only brother my son and also my husband was killed a few months ago in a wreck. I am his only person left so he does not share in my enthusiasm.

I understand, im 50 and have those same thoughts. Its normal to be scared, have fears. And sit down with your child and tell him that your having the surgery to have more years with him. Ee haven't told our kids yet ages 33, 30, 25, 20 and 17 due to not wanting them to worry. We got this, we will be better for our kids. Keep me posted, and im always here [emoji16]

i agree with Kimbero, this is scary for anyone! i am in that same scared stage. but doing this now gives him more time with you! with medical science advances, he shouldnt worry. maybe have him come to talk to your surgeon to tell him how minimal the risks of the actual surgery is, and how big the pay off will be after, all the health benefits. wishing you the best

aww Thanks I am so happy you are having it too. It is a bit scary because being in 50's. My son is 31 he thinks I am fine being 280. Hopefully our kids will be happier later when they see everything turns out fine. I know I am miserable carrying all this weight around and it sure doesnt come off as easy as when I was a young adult. I thnk as we get older it disables us to be able to do the things we use to do. Like I cant even get on my knees now because of course my weight will hurt too much. I will be happy to see the day when i can get on my knees in the floor and sit easily again. I hope yours goes well. Lets keep in touch!! :)

      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?

      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
