Go you!

I am excited for you. I am one year out on 26 April which I now regard as my other birthday as I have been given a second chance at life. Hope it goes well for you too, it's truly life changing.

As for the pounds you need to lose, go for it, you can do it. Best of luck, keep posting and let us know how you do!

Congrats to you! I know the feeling, I had a couple of pounds to lose before I can get my referral from my PCP. So here are some tips I've either used or heard to be helpful.

There is one completely cheating way to go about it and that's ankle weights at the weigh in so u can just remove them when necessary.

What I did was dance workouts so it was fun, then laxatives for the last 2 days before and liquid diet for 3 days before weigh in. In those 3 days I did eat a small salad on each day for lunch and that's it....lost 8 pounds in almost 4 days.

Another friend used saran wrap on her body while working out to loose even more!

Hope this helps, Good luck with it...

      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.
