Hey! Just introducing myself :)

[lesleymack2019 26]

Good morning!! I’m very new here, I ran across the site yesterday and thought I’d go ahead and sign up!
I’m 29 years old and a mom of 2. I just got married March 29th this year but we’ve been together for 7 years!
I started my journey March 22nd, 2019. I went to my initial consult one week before my wedding day lol. I didn’t know if I really wanted to have surgery at that point but the thought had crossed my mind many times so I began the process. I waited until after our honeymoon and for the wedding excitement to calm a bit before starting monthly PCP visits.

At my consult in March I was 292lb but at my visit to my pcp in May I was 312lb...wtf lol. Happy weight maybe? It needed to go..since my 2nd PCP visit on 6/25/19 I’ve lost 30lb so I’m pretty happy with the work I’ve put in so far. My husband had no idea I weighed over 300lb but I’m “proportionate” so it’s hard to tell exactly, but I knew.

Anyway. I spent my 6 months researching and educating myself on this surgery, reading others stories, the good and the bad. I’m definitely having the surgery and I’m excited!

Today is actually my pre op visit with surgery set for December 16th!
I’m open to any advice, suggestions, or stories! I’m excited to y’all with you guys!

I’m almost a full week post op and feeling good for the most part. The one large incision is bothering me but I got my workout binder on and that’s helped a lot. Been to the store and ran some other errands this weekend, feeling tired today so just gonna rest.

How did surgery go for you? How are you feeling now?
