    Hi Melknees, Good luck on your journey. I have lost a total of 20 lbs since surgery, 4 weeks on Monday, and a total of 33 since I started the preop diet the week before. Lucky you that your insurance covers the surgery for you. I was excited and happy right up to the day of surgery. When I awoke on surgery day, I was so scared and nervous. <chuckle> I keep thinking be careful what you wish for...ya know? So be ready for all sorts of emotions.
  5. I have been thinking about it for years....originally looking at lap band. My insurance just started covering VSG on March 1st.... but my company is shopping for new policy and I don't want to miss this opportunity. I have one more test next week then I can schedule a,date

    Thanks for the add. Make yourself at home. Gather information and create a vitual support network to help you make it through your new journey. By the way, how long have you been looking into WLS (weight loss surgery)? I favor programs that don't push to the table in a month but take the time to educate you on your life and living after surgery. Best wishes!!!!
  7. Consult went very well.... no surgery date yet but likely first week of May. Just have to have insurance approval and I have met all of their requirements Started pre-op diet so ready to go!!

6 months and half way there

by melknees on 11-13-2014 at 06:45 AM
Tomorrow will be 6 months from my surgery date and I have lost half the weight I want to lose...probably more as I am on vacation in Hawaii and without a scale! I know my clothes feel looser than they did a few days ago so I am excited to see what the numbers actually are when I get home in another week. Even if there is no change on the scale, I am losing inches, and that's just fine with me. Walking and swimming so much that the Island foods (and drinks!!) are having no effect on me What
