    I am doing well! Down 135lbs in 7 months. Feeling really good. Working out with a trainer and still feel like I am doing well with my commitment not to eat bread, pasta, chips, etc. We went on vacay for a week and I still lost 2 pounds so I will take that. I am finding it comes off slower the close you get to your goal.

    How are you doing??? You look stunning!

    Mamamckinzie,
    I haven't let it stop me and am now 5 days post-op and 17lbs less. Even with me been low BMI for WLS, the weight is coming off a lot faster then everyone said! I'm feeling fine and seem to get feeling better faster then most, even through I started out worse lol. I already am starting to feel better then before surgery and my husband is the only one I've told. I feel not everything is everyone's business. Only the people, which I my husband, who's life will be affect by this needs to know anything. He has been so great throught this whole process and have his full support!!! He tells me everyday how great I look and how proud he is of me for taking this step to better my health.

    Hello, I saw you had a low BMI before surgery and wanted to know if you would tell me how everything went. I am at 217lbs and 37.5 BMI, don't look like I am that big but do look overweight lol. I am doing this for health issues more then size. Worried because of the low BMI and the way I look, I will not lose much if any weight or to much. Hope to hear he thing went for you. I talk to a few ladies at the doctors office but they not only looked at me like I don't need the surgery but have told me so too! I've gotten to where I don't want to talk to anyone about it because of the way the act. Even the nurse told me I looked just fine and shouldn't be wanting the surgery, after I told her about the ladies I had spoke too! I really thought because she could see in my paperwork what I weighed/BMI she would have told me not to worry about it and give me someone to talk too! The doctor says it will be just fine and this surgery will work great for me, I should get down to the weight of 125 which is where I should be for my height. But if I get to 165 then the surgery worked. Please let me know if you had the same problems and how things went after surgery. Thanks!

    Hello! I just joined today and saw that you got your surgery done in Kansas City. I'm in Kansas City and have been looking at the website of the place you got yours done at. I would really like to talk some time, if you have the chance!
