Got a date!!!! and "Two-der"? land, pinch me pls!

Met with my surgeon and all my preop work was satisfactory, surgery December 14th!! And as a bonus I weighed in at 299.8 lbs..so I met my first goal of being under 300 before surgery. That's a total of 49 lbs lost in pre op. So excited to see where my journey leads next! 

WOOHOO

We can't wait to hear from you post-op!

Excellent - You are off to a great start.  I remember getting under 300 pounds for the first time in a decade, and how wonderful it was.  I started at 385 pounds, and I remember thinking if I just got under 300 pounds, I'd be happy  I never thought I'd get below 200 pounds, never mind to a normal weight. 

But here I am 3.5 years post op and maintaining at 160 pounds and a BMI of 24.  Its amazing, and with your success so far, I anticipate you will have a similar success

best wishes,

Carol

Thank you so much! I haven't seen the 200's in probably 10 years or longer and I already feel so much different. I cannot begin to imagine what it's going to be like to be a normal bmi and weight, but I am determined to find out
