I just wanted to introduce myself...I have been lurking for a little while....and thought I would finally get my profile together...but I am having trouble....how do I get my picture on the top of my profile????      I had my first appointment with my surgeon on Friday...and his office is getting the ball rolling for my  surgery, so I am scared....and excited all at the same time.... can't wait to talk to you all!!

Your op is on my birthday!  Should be a lucky one  :)

 

And for the Original poster...

 

To get a picture on here click on "USER SETTINGS" in the little box up above here and to the left.  It will tell you how to do it I think.

Start: 487 lbs (8/07) Lost 81 lbs pre op on South Beach. 406 lbs at surgery (6/08). 179 post op, by 2011. I  lost 308 lbs. Gained 98 while pregnant (2012-13) lost all but 25. My goal is to be 179 again!

Incredible that you are down so much in so little time.  I will try to emulate you - you are now my model - I have 153 lbs to lose they tell me.  We shall see.
44 days to go.

Well I am trying to have the RNY surgery....the surgeon has some other tests... they gave me a slip for blood work....i know there is some kind of test to look at my esophagus and lets see...a stress test, pulmonary test.  He did mention a colonoscopy and endoscopy in the seminar...so I am not exactly sure...I know he would like me to lose as much weight now as I can before the procedure. 

Thanks for the help with the picture....I look distorted.....but maybe that is how I look all of the time!!!  heheheheheeheeh!!

Welcome to the boards!  The time will seem like its taking forever to get everything done, but when you look back at it after surgery, you'll see that it just flew by!
