Niki S.

I am just starting my journey. My PCP and I just discussed it and he will be refering me to a surgeon soon. I am 280# and 5'4, I also have DJD and OA in my L knee. This seems like the best route for me. My husband will probably being having it done as well. He has sleep apnea and his BMI is like 45. Maybe we both will get done at around the same time..hehehe. So I am open to comments and suggestions. The part that has my husband worried is the "baby food" diet...LOL I told him it would all be worth it in the end and that we would get through it together. My mother had this done and has done great with a 120#+ weight loss in 1.5 yrs.

We will be attending a seminar on 7/31 then we will go from there. We still have the preapproval and all that fun stuff to do. I am looking so forward to it. My husband still remains a little apprehensive, but willing. I told him we would both feel 100% better and that we would do fine. I am also planning on joining Curves as well, but if my hubby wants to go work out then we have a local small gym that is "fat" friendly LOL. I will keep you posted! GL to you Joann on your upcoming surgery!!!
