Hello! I'm new to this forum, and to weight loss surgery. I just started my pre-op diet today, in advance of my surgery, scheduled for May 12, 2021. I have been reading others' comments and finding so much information and encouragement through your journeys. I look forward to the day when my story and success will help others.· 0 replies

I have my consultation on Thursday. I’m excited but nervous! My insurance requires a 6 month program before surgery so that’s a bummer.· 5 replies

Awesome! You're making a step. If you think of it as a lifelong change, then these 6 months are just a part of the journey. Wishing you all the best!
-
Congratulations! Take that six months to really appraise your relationship with food. It’s more of a mind game post surgery than many think, at least in my opinion. Head hunger is an issue for me and it’s a lot of work reframing my mind (I didn’t do a lot of introspection prior to my surgery and it’s slowing down my progress post-surgery). Best of luck on your journey!!!

Those 6 months, if used wisely, will turn out to be a blessing. Use the time to get your head on straight, make some small changes that will benefit you after surgery and lay the prep work for what you'll need later. I really think lurking around here before my surgery really helped as I've felt really prepared for whatever has come my way.

Like you I was so disappointed to have to wait 6 months for my surgery. Now I'm a week away from surgery though I'm not going to lie - there were times I really resented the 'delay' during the last 6 months. Even though I thought I was ready, knew all I needed to, didn't need to take that time to figure things out or make changes... that time actually was well spent. Time will pass, and soon you'll be a week out and thinking you just need a few more days to get things ready! You got this.

My consultation went great The surgeon said I am a perfect candidate for Bypass but not the sleeve due to Acid Reflux. They scheduled every single thing I need to do during this six months. The journey starts now!
