Thanks Margo, I have been too busy today to think much about it. I know tonight when I settle down, the old mind will be doing it's thing, a bad case of the "what if's"

After reading all the good things from others, I know this is a step in the right direction. Tomorrow is the beginning of a new phase in my life.

HI! I am hoping if all goes well with the insurance August 29th! I am thrilled one of my coworkers got approved and it is only a matter of days for my approval. He actually got the nod a few days ago. I am terribly excited!

I also want to add too all of us August bandsters. Here's to a new beginning of our lives with much success and happiness, as our bodies begin to shrink, and we become healthy and happy with our new lifestyles.

I will be praying for all of you as your surgery dates get here. Looking forward to hearing from everyone after your surgery, best of wishes to everyone.

Good luck to those of you who are having your bands tomorrow. I will say a prayer and keep you in my thoughts.

And will be impatiently waiting to hear how it all went.. So don't forget to post when you feel up to it...

Here's to our new and improved lives...

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
