Hi All,
 
I am new on here so first want to say thanks for stopping by taking the time to read this. I been on this weight loss surgery for years with little permanent success. After making other life changes I decided to leave family friends exs etc and move to NYC where i didnt know anyone and how to get around with just what could fit in my car.
 
I think ... change that I know that was the best decision ever made. I now have a job stress free making good money for a great company. A home where i feel comfortable and free with no stress and a new man in my life that is definitely heaven sent.
 
When i moved to NYC i decided to live my life for me instead for everyone else and lived through others expectations. That way of living only kept me in therapy broke and alone. Now im 360 woohoo!! for me
 
Living and doing for me I fixed my credit etc etc etc LOL and now I need to shed these pounds so my outside match how i feel in the inside now.
 
Regardless of the pain I may experience immediately after surgery I am ready for what comes my way because in the long run I will be healthier where things I want to get around better etc etc etc
 
I envy everyone that has lost the weight but soon I will be on your side of the bridge woo hoo!!! lol
 
I look forward to weight loss journey

My trip was awesome I did not worry about what I ate, but did not eat too bad. I think the worst I did was have a Snow cone and i know the syrup is the worst part but dang they were yummy. I cam home and was the same weight as when I left 202/203 depend on the day and time... well FINALLY this week I hit 199. I started worrying that I would not lose anymore weight because of the past failed attempts..

Five months ago today I had my gastric sleeve surgery. I am happy to report that i am down 56 pounds!!! 64 more to go to goal!!

Well, I'm at the hospital ready for surgery. Must say I'm nervous and excited. Ready to start my journey.

Having read quite a bit pre-surgery, I knew there would be many different possibilities post-surgery. So far, my story has been a best case senerio. At the hospital, I walked quite a bit and the nurses were quite pleased with the amount and speed I walked. I think, because of this, I have no gas pains at all. Had a gallbladder surgery 12 years ago and my wife said I had terrible gas pains.
 
The pain I do have is in my chest which my doctor said is due to the hiatal hernia repair I had but it is better today. Been sipping on Ensure Clear and that is going down well. Gain 2 pounds in the hospital, which made me laugh. Figure that will disappear soon enough.
 
So far, I am happy with my progress and am trying to be good and compliant with my recovery plan.

Full release at my 6 week post-op visit today! I am approved to go back to work with no restrictions. I weighed in at 228, day of surgery weight 251, pre-op initial weight 269, total loss 41 lbs, 23 since surgery. Better than that, I'm wearing clothes that I haven't been able to fit in for two years! I'm really excited about my weight loss so far.

The last time I posted I just had my psych visit. Well I've since received my date of July 10th for surgery, YAY, and have had my pre-op exam on June 19th. I am so excited and ready to get this journey on its way. I have my visit with the surgeon and the nut on June 26 and I have a lot of questions to ask, already written down. My surgery is approaching fast and although I say I'm prepared, I know that there are things that I still don't know an won't know until after surgery when I go through them. I am thankful for this sight because I have learned so much here and will continue to look here as I continue on my journey and maybe one day I will be of help to someone else just starting out. Thanks to all who have gone before me and who took the time to help me (us) out as we follow you through this journey.
