It's been 16 months since I had the Gov'ner installed and I have lost 100 pounds! Woo Hoo! From 344 to 244, from 56" waist to a 42", from knee pain to running steps, to a completely new wardrobe. I have 44 more pounds to lose to reach my goal but the finish line is in sight!

Ya'll have a Merry Christmas.

Coming from a pre-surgery patient your weight loss is inspiring. It reassures me I'm making the right choice and that this can be done. Congratulations on your hard work and good luck on reaching your goal.

Sparky!!!!

Thank you and congratulations!!!

I'm 9 days away from "Roscoe" being installed and your post got me excited once again.

i was sitting here thinking I shouldnt go somewhere because of this pre-op diet and your words just encouraged me so much. There is NOT a food that can deter me now!!

Patience is the key. 5 pounds in three weeks is good. I my journey I had weeks where I did not lose any weight some weeks I'd lose 5 pounds(but I'm a guy). It is a distance race, go the distance and you will get your reward. It has been frustrating at times but looking back over the last 16 months it's been pretty quick. Remember it's taken a lot of years to put the weight on, it's going to take a while to get it off. Maybe not the answer you are looking for but it is the best answer I can give you. Hang in there.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
