I started my journey on April 14, 2017. After 20 plus years of numerous diet plans, eating right and exercising I would lose the weight quick only to gain it back-and then some. I started this journey in April at my heaviest weight of 271 @ 5' 7. With this I have high blood-pressure, high cholesterol, sleep apnea, thyroid issues and of course the numerous aches and pains in my joints. During my 3 months of supervised diet I dropped 18 pounds. My 2 week pre-op liquid diet I drooped 6 pounds. As of today 8/12/2017 (day 5) post-op I have lost another 6 pounds. I am very pleased with my progress so far. I had to go through a lot of hoops to get insurance to approve. I am so grateful they finally did! Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app
