Wow, 90lbs check you out and your almost at your goal weight, I bet your super proud of yourself (you should be). I legit can't wait till I get to that point in my journey. I haven't set a goal weight for myself yet.... I hear people complain mostly about the gas after surgery, I brought gas x, strips and pills. So hopefully I will not get as gassy (fingers crossed)..... congrats on being so close to your goal weight... how will you Celebrate this success?

Super proud and so much more confident / happy! You’ll love the journey- it’s amazing. The gas strips didn’t work for me but walking a lot did

Buying new clothes is a constant — but fun. Just as soon as you wear it 2 times they’re too big :). So I’m not sure how I’ll Celebrate? ? Hadn’t thought of it!

We just chose my weight goal— which is pretty much in middle of BMI range for 5’6... i think it’s 125-155?? So I said 140 but ideally 135 so there’s a cushion ;). Who knows - I’m psyched now so everything is gravy at this point . I’m the lightest I’ve been as an adult so that’s incredible!

That's so amazing, I am happy for you. Clothes shopping will be so much fun for me especially because I always try to find excuses to shop and now I will finally have one, lol.. I actually love to walk, so consistently walking won't be a problem for me.... thats a great weight goal, and yes having some cushion is always good, especially in the right places[emoji23][emoji23].

Yea, it took a lot for me to not blow up their phones from constantly checking if I got approved or not. Lol. But I did everything that I was suppose to do, so I was hopeful. But getting your date feels like Christmas.

I miss living in Boston. There's so much to do out there, which helps keep you motivated to do more, especially walking wise.

I had the sleeve done on 12/1/2017. I have lost about 80lb and I still have about 30lb to go. I have been struggling to loose weight for the past month. I have only lost about 2lbs..ugh

80lbs is great... I see there's a few people on here who's weight had stalled for a bit. You'll be back shedding pounds in no time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
