Very nervous but excited to have the surgery. I have worked hard for 2 years with getting exercise an making a lifestyle change on foods.... My procedure is Sept 25, 2013 an it is closing in quickly. I was 205 lbs as of August 2011. I joined weight watchers an I now have lost 45lbs an 23 inches. I have a belly that will not leave cause of 2 kids. I use weights, do Zumba, walk, an step classes an the weight just will not leave this area.

You will be amazed at your self confidence after surgery! And that you will be able to, (eventually), do your exercises and have them make a huge difference! Make sure you take before pics, even if they are just for you, you will be glad you did! There's nothing like going back to those pics and comparing! Also, the things I couldn't live without right after surgery were cough drops, straws,(it's hard to tip your head back the first week!), someone to be there with you the first three days at least, crackers, chapstick, stool softener and/or milk of magnesia,(for a bit later for that BM!), an alarm to wake you for your meds. There are other things, but these are the things I HAD to have and used a lot! Congrats on your weight loss! You have worked hard and this is the next step to getting the body you want!

Excited for you and all your progress! You will look great! I wish I had taken more before pics (or any, really!) so you're smart for doing that. Make sure you have someone to take care of you for a couple weeks and that you have a lot of loose fitting stretchy pants too! Your new body will be motivation to keep up with your progress! I too lost a lot of weight and the thought of going back to the stomach I had before has really helped me stick with my program! Keep us updated!
