I had my heart set on the band for years. I went to a physical and the PA was like nope African American woman with a BMI higher than 55 usually do not have success with the band. So We decided the bypass. I'm nervous about losing hair more than anything but am ready for this journey. My consult with the surgeon is 5/26 Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Instagram: @bsweetness snapchat: @b-sweetness

Yes I am with O'malley!!! What phase are you in with your process? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm 27 and have my consult with the surgeon on 5/26. In my opinion the younger the better. I wanted to have kids by 30 so now I have to wait until after. I know several people who did it at 18 and 19 and there journeys were remarkable. The younger ones seem to not have issues and bounce back well. I'm hoping to be scheduled in June so I can have disability in July. Keep me updated. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Agreed I've heard people being considered an emotional eater which will cause you to fail. Be honest or extra prepared to make the difficult changes. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

So I completed a surgery seminar,Psych evaluation, 6 nutrition appointments, physical, and pre lab work. I am just waiting for my the office to call me to set up an appointment with the surgeon. Then at that appointment I set my date for surgery. I'm so anxious tomorrow makes a week since I completed the nutrition portion and I hope to be scheduled in early June so I can drink at Toronto's Carribana at the end of June. I have been attempting this program since 2011 several times. I have been overweight since Kindergarten and have high BP. I am so ready for a lifestyle change.

Treat it like a pregnancy, everyone will have their opinion but only you know what's best for you and what you can handle. I wouldn't be embarrassed by your getting a tool to help you live a healthier life and they should want you to be healthier. Good luck on your journey. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
