I am so happy for those of you who gave been approved and are scheduled for surgery. I am hoping this is my week to find out if I have been approved. I have gained some of my weight back. My eating habits have been horrible since Thanksgiving.

Dr. Wallace will be performing my surgery on 2/24...I have so many questions if you do not mind. Do I need to know anything about Pre-Op and Post Op that wish someone would have shared with you? How long did it take for you to lose your first 50lbs? I am currently 5'7 265lbs and BMW of 41. How long did it take for you to recover to where you were able to continue an exercise regimen? I am trying to minimize any excess skin That may occur.

Surgery wasn't bad, I had some issues before surgery so I wasn't on the diet, and after I was in and out of the hospital for a total of 21 days because of an antibiotic. I was 336lbs and 5'10" I'm down to between 165-175.

[sassyg1963 5]

I looked and at 6months 1week I lost 100lbs!!!

@ sassy1963 I'm am so excited but I am so scared too. I am made at myself for completely going off my diet...today I began the high Protein low carb diet. I will exercise too and see where I get before I have to begin my liquid diet which should be the 8th or 9th of Feb. Your weight loss is awesome...When I grow up I want to be like you. Please please please keep in touch. I am in Wauwatosa.
