Hi I'm Erica and I am currently in the process of my 6 month medically supervised diet (insurance required :s ) for weight loss surgery. I plan on getting the sleeve procedure sometime in May/June and I am looking for buddies to help support and encourage each other. :)

    Hi, all! I had my bypass this past June. I lost thirty pounds before surgery and my dietitian recommended MFP. It sure takes the pain out of calorie counting.

    Here's a group for bariatrics:

    Hi! I'm set to have a gastric bypass surgery the first week in June. I have to lose 25 pounds before my surgery. It's definitely a scary, exciting, roller coaster of an experience! Best of luck to you!

    Hi everyone! I've got an appointment with the surgeon at the hospital this coming Tuesday currently doing my 1st month of the 6month medical supervise diet for insurance. I hope to be approved for surgery and have the gastric sleeve procedure done by the end of this year. :#

    Hi, I'm on month 1 of the 6 month medically supervised weight loss required for insurance. I've lost 12 pounds so far and am following the Paleo/Zone diet mostly. I'm having Gastric Bypass in August/September. I'm super nervous but excited to start my life finally. I feel like I've been fighting this forever! My goal is to lose as much weight prior to surgery as I can so I have a good jump start once I have surgery but usually once I hit that 40-50lb mark on my own, I hit a brick wall :-/ Please add me as a friend. I would love to offer and receive any support :-)
