Hope I didn't upset you. I thought it was a typo. Congrats on the weight loss!

You weighed 159.9 when you had surgery? Gastric sleeve?

I'm having my surgery at the end of the month, having my gallbladder out at the same time too. Had my endoscopy today. I am nervous to but full steam ahead, one step at a time. We will all be so much healthier and happier by next summer! Just try to occupy your mind with something else to keep the negative thought away. Yay us!

Yay! Love it! What is your height? And starting weight???

Glad you didn't delete the pics! You look great. You must feel like a whole other person!! Awesome

Great pics!! Good job!!!

My doctors office said I will have mine for 2 weeks..... This is the thing I am dreading most

Most self pay physicians build BLIS insurance into the cost which covers a few months after surgery just in case.

Not to be a jerk, but does anyone realize that many people are severely allergic to peanuts? And bringing them on a plane is dangerous to others? Peanuts/ peanuts butter can cause reactions even if not ingested. Had to put it out there. A family member had an anaphylactic reaction on a plane and they almost had to make an emergency landing.

So I am not the only obsessive person out ther

Wow, I am 5'3 and preop at 246 lbs. Did you ever imagine you could get that small?? You have blown my mind! Great job!!! Any tips??

No way!!!! Awesome! How tall are you?

Anxious! Waiting in the office now. 2 steps closer after today!!

My tentative date is July 29th!!

Wow. Awesome. Love the short hair!!

Go girl! One weird question.... How would you react if someone saw your scars and asked if you had WLS? There is a lady in my complex I saw at the pool with the scars and she looked great. I wanted to say something, but was worried it might not be received well....

Yay! Good luck!!!!!

I too felt overwhelmed after my consult. I kept looking at the list and thinking it was like climbing a mountain. So I decided to take one step at a time. I had my endoscopy consult yesterday and have my psych and nut scheduled next week. My endoscopy is scheduled for July 2nd and I will do labs the same day. Next week I will tackle scheduling more appointments, my office wants things in a sequential order. I am hoping for the best and trying not to stress. My tentative surgery date is July 29th. Just stick to your list and you will be fine. Good luck everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow! That's great! I love seeing these pics! Go girl!

That's awesome! I am having my surgery next month. I am same height as you and 245, would love to get to 150! Inspirational!
