Ok, so I am 5 months out an have lost 73 pounds. i would like to lose 7 more before I go back to my surgeon on July 2 for my 6 month visit. i have stalled recently and it is really frustrating, but i keep on going. Life is good right now :)

So, my surgery is the day after tomorrow and I am very excited. My mother and I were both exposed to the flu 5 days ago. I don't have any symptoms but she has come down with it. I just hope I don't start running a fever. 

Tomorrow I go in for my pre-op class. I have already been to this with my mother, so I know all the information, I am also attending a support group. 8 days until my surgery!!

I received my approval letter in the mail this weekend but it did not coincide with the one the doctor received. Fortunately, I called the insurance company on Monday and everything was sorted. I am glad this has been my only bump so far.

Next Wednesday is my pre-op class, and I have already attended one with my mother, so I know what post-op life will be like. I am beginning to get a little nervous about going under anesthesia. 15 Days until my surgery.

Found out today that my insurance has approved my surgery and my date has been scheduled for December 27!!!!!  So excited. i have never been thin and I am looking forward to beginning my weightloss journey. Pre-op pics to come. 

I have completed all the required tests, letters from my doctor, and visits. I have decided to go with Dr. William Johnson as my surgeon, he is also with Atlanta Bariatrics. Right now, I am waiting to hear that the insurance has approved my surgery. Looking forward to setting my surgery date. 

I have already given up alcohol and carbonated beverages. I have started drinking 64 + ounces of water/crystal light every day. I have also started exercising. I really enjoy doing Zumba

Hello, my name is Katy. I am 24 years old and I weigh 295 pounds. I have always struggled with my weight and I have been over 200 lbs since I was 11 years old or in the 6th grade. I have tried weight watchers, low carb, low fat, counting calories, nutri system, and phenteramine diet pills. I can lose some weight, but I always hit a plateau and get very discouraged. I recently finished up my masters thesis and I want to get healthy, not only for my physical health but for my mental health. I realized this year, that my weight has kept my self-confidence and self-worth very low. I allow people to take advantage of me because I think that they will not like me if I am not a nice and bubbly person. I am choosing to have the gastric bypass Roux en-Y because it will help increase the quality of my life  physically, mentally, and emotionally.
