Hi! I just want to introduce myself. I'm a 41 year old mother of 6. I had twins in August of 2011 and since then, I've only been gaining weight. Right now I'm at 242lbs and 5'4". I went in and had the initial labs, endoscopy and sonar and have been cleared for surgery by my Dr. I'm planning on scheduling the surgery within the next 2 weeks, just waiting for my loan to come through as insurance doesn't cover it here. I'm so nervous about something going wrong and I end up having my stomach removed or something but the more success stories I read, the more I want to do it! I need to make this change not only for myself, but for my kids. I don't want to develop weight related health issues! I am worried about loose skin and losing my butt and boobs, I wish we could tell our bodies which parts to lose from! Any advice or experience from someone with similar stats? Is love to see the progress! UmmFaisal

Thank you! UmmFaisal

I'm scheduled for June 26th, exactly 1 week from today. I am a bit nervous but I can't wait!!! How long did it take to see some weight loss? I'm 5'4" 242lbs. I'm hoping to get to 200 by the end of August. UmmFaisal

Hi oburawa, Can I ask where you are in the Middle East? I'm in Kuwait and just started the whole process. UmmFaisal
