When I first started reading I thought you were at least a year post surgery. But you're only just starting! I think you were exaggerating just a bit too much lol. Your party has just begun!! Give...

You will have some saggy skin, how much ? It all depends on genetics and how much you exercise . It's up to you if you can live with it. If you had some man boobs because of the excess weigh , you...

I don't think there is an average weight loss. I think it varies with everyone, not everyone loses at the same rate, not everyone loses all their excess weight but if you stick to the rules you will...

They say you have less loose skin when you lose slowly so you have that to your advantage !! You have a lot of time, no rush !!

Everyone that has to go through insurance approvals sound annoyed having to go through it. I paid $5,000 out of pocket to get it done ( had it done in Mexico because I couldn't afford it in the US)....

While it is nice to have close relatives support you on this journey, you also have to keep in mind that this is your decision only. In a way, they don't have to change because we change. It is only...

Everyone is different, don't compare yourself with anyone on this forum. You basically have 12 months to loose all your excess weight. For me, I have about 70 lbs of excess weight. So I devide 70/12...

You started at 178 lbs, this is one of the reasons why in the US you wouldn't had qualified for this surgery. What was your BMI? Around 32? The main problem is this, you started low and you run the...

@Sandra3. It's our 1 month surgeversary on Saturday!! Hope you feel better soon!!

I've struggled with my weight since I was a teen, my mom is 4'10" and has never been over 100 lbs. When I told her I was thinking about the surgery the first thing she said was that she knew I could...

Hi! I am still pretty new at this. Will be a month since my surgery on Saturday. As far as day 1, it is different for everyone, especially because we all tolerate pain differently. For me it wasn't...

@Beautiful. We all carry the excess weight differently. I was 190 lbs and a size 14 and I am also 5'1", I felt like this time around I had gained weight evenly and not just my butt and thighs. So...

Congrats!! That must be an amazing feeling! You've done a great job!! You should be very proud of what you've accomplished! I'm sure you'll be at 150 soon!!

I am a few days shy of my first month post op, I started eating some more solid foods and I am having trouble eating now. It hurts and I feel uncomfortable every single time. I don't feel like I...

Either your surgeon promised you an incredible weight loss at the beginning or you are misinformed somehow. I started at my highest 190 lbs and 181 lbs the day of surgery. I am now 167 lbs, even if...

Hello!! I had the same issue on my second week. You can just say you're recovering from a stomach bug and you have to be really careful of what and how much you eat.
I know it sucks, but yes, no one...

Good luck ladies!!! Let your new life begin!!!

Hey there!! I am in Southern California and I went to Tijuana to get my surgery, fortunately for me that's just a a few minutes drive away. I also chose not to tell my family about it. A friend drove...

I am 2 weeks post op and I must say, this week has been extremely hard for me. I am craving more solid foods and it seems so hard to resist, it's almost as if my stomach is asking for real food and...

Hello ladies!! I am new at this, just joined yesterday. Can I join the weigh ins?
I had surgery on January 20th, and to this date I have not weighed myself. I tend to get obsessed with the scale and...
