hello

New to the board here i was referred from a great and inspiring woman who had WLS 2 yrs ago at pennsylvania hospital here in Philly,

Her story was so inspirational it made me look more forward to the long road ahead.Her losing 200+ lbs in 2 yrs out post op was amazong.

At this time im in the first month of a medical controlled diet needed for a pre cert for my ins company,have done the psyhc and the Cadiac checks..all good which i was relieved and amazed 39 yrs old and 455lbs you would think more my heart would be a mess

Awaiting to finish the last 2 months of this 1800 calorie a day diet which yeah has been interesting and welcoming,awaiting my last appointment for  the pulmanoligist the 3rd of Dec.

The WLS and i are trying to shoot for a Feb surgery date,i wi**** was  sooner...not afraid of the RnY ive selected nor the possiable complications that might arise...anything is better then what im living with everyday,I heard alot of open RNY surgeries,im told mine will be Scoped i was like...ok  then again i did have a Heria repair from the same surgeon in June so im sure he knows alot better then me lol

Im so ready for the surgery to be done now and start working towards my goals,working as a mechanic will be tons easier for me i so cant wait...this surgery will be in sorts iciing on the cake,a yr ago i quit smoking (2 packs a day) and never looked back,divorced in may and now my new life will be complete with this..i look forward to the day i dont need pain pills to function

Welcome to the board. You are in an awesome place. It is a rollercoaster and so hang on and enjoy the ride. Take lots of pre op pictures. They document so much better than mirrors
