Looking at my pants 18 saying wow! Had 3 Kids & tube tight so nothing is holding ne back from losing weight but I cook so damn good I kept having seconds. When I decided to do surgery I did excellent on my diet before surgery. Now it's all about getting sexy.

I'm still surprised every time I see a picture of myself or catch a glimpse in the mirror of how fat I am. In my head I'm still a size 8 girl with a booty. After the birth of my daughter, having to buy size 24 pants...worst day ever. Can't wait to be in the "normal" sizes.

I have always been overweight and bigger than people my age. I guess when I really noticed a definite weight gain was after I got married. I gained about 50 pounds. Some traumatic things happened in my life and I just gave up caring. I cannot wait until I have my surgery and hit my goal weight! I don't ever remember being at a healthy weight. I just want to know what that feels like, lol!

A coworker took an unflattering picture of me.....I was actually a little mad at her thinking she just wanted me to look awful until I realized that no matter what angle the picture is taken I had gotten too big. I was living in self denial thinking others couldn't see my extra layers. Nothing like a candid snapshot to make you see how you really look.

      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.
