Hi Everyone
I has my surgery a year ago. Down 100 pounds and continuing to lose weight. I did it with my husband. Both had surgery and are doing well. I know I need the support because it’s not easy. But it helps to talk about because since my surgery when I do speak on it, I find someone who has had the surgery. It has improved my health and my mobility. Thank you.
 
That's really nice that you and your husband have went on this journey together. I hope for a long and successful outcome for you both. Its a long journey. I myself lost 80lbs before my surgery. That took a year with a lot of hardwork. My surgery was last week. I'm still recovering from that, and its not been as bad as I thought it would be.

Congrats on your procedure and major weight loss before hand! That's awesome! I'm almost 8 months post op! Down 86 pounds and still have about 37/38 pounds kind of hanging on! I'll be super glad when its gone!
Please keep us updated to date on your weight loss post op! The first two months, the excess weight will fly off! Don't get discouraged with any stalls, if you experience those! Just stick to your post op diet and incorporate enough water! And please don't drink your calories, as you may not have much of an appetite at times, and those protein shakes do come in handy! That was my mistake(drinking my calories).
I wish you the best of luck!
