Hi. So I am deciding if I want to do this. I am 5'1 and 240lbs. I have wanted to lose weight and tried forever. I was wondering can you ever eat "normal" after you get this done or are you eating 3 small meals forever. What makes me mad is I am not a fast food junkie or a twinkie eater as most stereo type you as if you are even a lil overweight. I eat healthy but continue to gain. Polycystic Ovarian syndrome doesn't help. So when you get this done from recommending to your DR to surgery date how long is that. Does it take long to get on the list? Thanks

Hi mom2kat,

I am 5'2 and 223. From what I have been told from my surgeon the wait from the initial visit with him to surgery is 6 months. However, I am sure this depends on so many factors, myself I have gotten lucky and have been getting my appointments incredibly quick. Before my first appt with the surgeon it was probably about two months before when I approached my reg doctor, then I had to wait for an introduction group like meeting.

      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
