    Sweeet! Good luck...keep us posted. If you are anything like me, after the first few days post surgery, you won't regret a single day of having made the decision!

    Congratulations! Please do keep us posted!


    I am a Registered Dietitian/Nutritionist but I have never practiced in the areas of bariatrics or weight loss. I am happy to offer ideas or tips, but please follow your own Nutritionist's advice - she is the expert in the area.

    Congrats DTOM! Such an exciting time. Make sure you take pictures and measurements (waist, hips, thighs, calves, chest, biceps) before the surgery and then take them every two weeks post op. You will love having this documentation of your journey. Make sure you wear something form fitting in your pictures. (Even can be your underwear or some biker shorts.) Find a spot that it will be easy to stand in that exact spot and have someone always take the picture from the same distance. I love looking at mine. It will always be a reminder of this wonderful transformation. Good luck!

    Super excited! My wife and I are having our surgeries the same day! Sleeve for me and bypass for her. This site has helped us both to feel more confident and ready for the big day and the life that follows. Thank you all!!

    With that super excited attitude you will have amazing success! In my opinion a positive attitude is the most important part of this journey. I was over-the-moon happy the entire ride. It was just so much FUN!
