Wow!!! So how's everything going for you so far? I am dying to meet the surgeon lol...it figures when you're so looking forward to something that time drags it's feet lol. I hate steroid injections. They work for me but only for 2 to 3 days then it's back to pain. I just hope with the incredible weight loss to come it stops. The hubs is really supportive, has always been. He's a good guy. Him and I are both going to all my appointments. It's funny cause we both turn 30 when I meet the surgeon lol, I'm 10 hrs older and our anniversary is May 19th the next day and we will be married 10 years. My kids are amazing. I sat down and already tal,ed with them about wls and they're happy. My oldest girl is going to be 9 in July, my middle girl will be 7 in June and my last little girl will be 2 in May. There a very energetic bunch both they're all sweet and loving and mommy's helpers. It's so nice hearing from you! Thanks for responding! Keep me updated on your process.

Hi everyone reading. I'm 5'8 and 318 lbs. I've been looking into surgery for weight loss since 2013. I never pursued it at the time because my hubby and I had our 3rd and last daughter. I'm the highest weight I've ever been. My spine surgeon referred me to a bariatric surgeon due to osteoarthritis in my lower back and sacroiliac joint deterioration mostly due to being overweight since I started (TMI) my monthly at age 12. Any info on the process? I really want the gastric bypass done. I go to my first appointment with the surgeon May 18th...my birthday lol, I'll be 30.Thanks for any advice!
