Thank you for sharing the facts about how and why the wls journey can be slower with a BMI of 36 can be a much slower weight loss. I am 3 months out and my Weight loss has been slow as of today, I am down 26lbs. Going to add weight lifting and hope that helps to continue the process and help move the scale down .

I love hearing everyone's story. I am very inspired. I a 54 year old female and ready to change my life. I have only shared my surgery with my s/o and my 3 sons. Like many, I have lost and gained 30-40 pounds only to gain it back and more. My BMI is 35 right now, on the edge for criteria for surgery. I have several co- morbidities that helped me get approval. For that I am thankful. A little scared of the recovery time as I am planning on going back to work in 10 days post. I am a field rep for a medical device company. My question is post op pain and timeline for feeling good. I lost my 29 year old son 1 year ago in a car accident, he was the picture of health. Surfer and yogi. Always watched everything he ate. He always tried to help me. His memory/ life gives me strength. I know if he were here, he would say " you got this mom" Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Thank you for sharing your journey Leather'nLace. Appreciate your kind support regarding my son too. I have also had 3 C-sections, thinking and hoping this surgery should be a bit less invasive. Getting excited more than scared now. Hoping you continue to heal well. Keep me posted on your recovery. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
