Hello Everyone,

I am new to the group, so I wanted to say hi to you all.

I had my surgery on January 28, 2013. I am so glad to have the surgery behind me. Not that it was a bad experience, quite the contrary. The anticipation, however, was terrible. I even got luck and my date was pushed up a few weeks because of a cancelation.

I started the journey back in August 2012. At that point I weight 546 pounds, I lost 40 pounds prior to surgery and have lost 33 since surgery. I have a way to go, but the success I have had so far really motivates me.

I wish all of you great success and I look forward to reading about it!

Thanks,
Marv

Hey there Marv and good morning

Welcome to the group! Long journeys can be the best ones! Take it one step at a time.

Marv. Thanks for your words. They are an inspiration to those of us still waiting. I have just over a week to go and the anticipation is killer! Good luck on your journey and keep us posted on how you are doing!

Thats great! Keep up the good work. I have my physc eval scheduled for the 18th of this month, and that is my last step before I hear from my Dr again. I cant wait to be on the other side.

Welcome Marv, The best decision, agree. I started my journey at 321 in Sept. Dec 31, New Years Eve a new person. Now weighing in at 268. Goal at 185. i am half way there.

Welcome, glad to have you and good luck on your journey

How awesome for you! Welcome and best wishes on your journey!! Keep up posted.
