Just had my second visit with my surgeon and dietician last week. My insurance requires I been seen for at least 6 months... that will be Oct/Nov. I’ve lost 12 lbs in my first month and I think I’m losing inches more than weight. I’ve gone down one size in clothing, 2 sizes in underwear ‍♀️, no bra extender and I went down a notch on my I watch band!! i had lost 100 lbs 3-4 years ago and had gained all but 15 back. I’m only 48 (49 next month) and I already have Degenerative Disk Disease in my neck, arthritis in my L jaw, my neck, my R elbow, both hands, L knee and both feet. This weight makes me feel 90! I hurt ALL THE TIME! I also have fibromyalgia as well as sleep apnea. My husband & I have an 18 year old daughter who is differently abled, non-verbal and needs constant care and I have 5 beautiful, sweet grandchildren to play and have fun with which I can’t do right now. I’m so ready for this to help me change my life. I’m looking forward to meeting other people in the same boat!
