Where are you in your journey?

[Aface]

I’m fairly new here and thought we could all share if you were comfortable.

1. what state do you live in?
2. Where are you in the process of your journey? Info stage, waiting on date, pre-op post-op , years out? Revision, etc..
3. What surgery did you have or want?

2. 7 years post from original band; 5 years from revision to sleeve; just over a year from RNY (required due to severe reflux complications of sleeve) total lost 162 pounds
3. I have had them all, LOL. I wish I'd done much more researched and been a self-advocate earlier in the process, but I have learned a lot since then.

Taxman, I just noticed that you were under your goal weight by 1 pound. Also you lost 145 lbs. Awesome!! That's great, good for you. A real inspiration!!

I would like to lose about 10lbs more, but my GP and nutritionist both suggest I stay where I am.

I live in North Carolina.
I'm 9 months post-op.
I originally wanted the sleeve - my doctor told me that considering my medical issues - I'd have better results with the RNY. I've lost 85 pounds so far. I'm 5 pounds below my goal weight.
