Hello , I've been monitoring this site for sometime . Went this weekend to Houston for consultation with Dr. Amahdi . I scheduled date and paid my deposit . I'm nervous and excited.
I'm a mother of 3 grown children and grandmother to 3 grangirls.
Never thought I'd be in this position because I worked out, I took care of myself ,then found out I had cancer in2013 and had surgery . Every since the surgery I have gained more weight despite my efforts. This year I hired a trainer from the beginning of the year until end of June with no results but more weight gain! I'm 5'6.5 and with clothes on 202 when I weighed in yesterday I was 200. I'm normally ok with 170 my nice weight is 163.
My goal is to lose weight before surgery scheduled on the 20th of September. I plan to document along the way as others have motivated me????

I am glad that you won the fight with cancer. I wish you well on your new journey. I have my surgery scheduled for October. I have fought with my weight since I had thyroid surgery in 2013. My highest weight has been 182 pounds at 5'4 but lately been holding steady between 160-162. So I definitely understand that weight fight. I want to lose 10 pounds myself before mine. I know my thighs are carrying all of my weight. Please keep us updated.

Thank you. I was informed by the doctor how to drop the weight in preparation for this , most of the "dense" part of me is from working out with the trainer. I swear I did better on my on. I have increased my cardio and I'm going hard until the big day!

My pre-op is 20 days before my surgery. It's good that you have that much time before surgery just in case any testing shows an issue you have time to correct it. If you are going to be taking care of yourself most of the time you may want to get you a shower chair.
