Congratulations! You made me stop and ponder my point in life!

Hang in there - it will get better and easier. I am 5 months out and have a whole new life! It is amazing. It will be well worth it. Keep us informed.

I used to get I wasn't that big. I wear my weight well. Let me tell you, I have lost over 55 lbs and have 25 to go... It is a whole new me. No more sleep apnea, incontinence, hurting knees and ankles, migraines are minimized, mood swings are down... best decision I ever made!!!
There was a discussion on this board about telling others. Some keep it very private and some don't. I am pretty much an open book - besides, people are going to know you did something when you start looking awesome. Plus, if I can help anyone else who has struggled with weight the way we have, it is worth it. To me, I would rather spent $350 on something else than labs!
My boss was awesome bout the appointments before and after. He really wanted me to be healthy. I was so lucky in that respect. He checks on me all the time to see how i am doing. He even commented in our last meeting about how high energy I am (I was before but now it is ridiculous). I just prioritized my appointments and got as many of them as early in the day or late in the day. My therapist really worked with me as well.
Tell you stomach to be quiet and let the brain work. You got this!

Congrats!!! I am 5 months out and I finally broke 140. I have lost over 55 lbs and have less then 25 to go! It is a whole new world out there!

Hugs back! Leave all the negativity behind and start a new life!!! You will do awesome! It is his loss! Stay strong!

Good luck! I had the sleeve on December 13th. It is the best thing I have ever done and would do it again. I will be honest I questioned myself the first two or three days after surgery - but by day 7, I haven't looked back. I have lost over 50% of what I need to. I lost 48 lbs and have 32 to go.
Let us know how you are doing and what you decide!

There is a help doc in here to tell you how - but I am getting my butt kicked too and I am not technology challenged.
