I took nothing. I was there 8 hours. They give you non- slip socks to walk in. I never once had the urge to look at a phone or iPad. Surgery, sleep, swallow, and Headed home. Good luck!

Hi guys!!! Tomorrow is the big day!!! I'm a bit nervous, but good nervous,excited, so many feeling all at once! Tomorrow my new life beginning! Wish me luck, and as soon as I built some energy I will get back to all of yous! Good to those September Surgery we got this!

I'm on my way today! I am at the very beginning of my journey and just lost my 1st pound!! I'm going to celebrate EVERY SINGLE ONE....and you guys are stuck with me! LOL

I'm in a very similar boat. Had the bad placed in 2009, lost 100lbs, removed end of 2016 due to car accident. Just now finishing up all the hoops that my insurance requires. I will find out in the next 2 weeks if my surgery is approved to be scheduled. I will also be getting the sleeve. I look forward to reading about your progress. Good luck!

Thanks everyone

Hey guys, got a call and my surgeon wants me at the hospital @ 5:30 a.m. instead of 6:30 a.m. Please say a little prayer for me and all our friends going through surgery. Can't lie, feeling a little scared, but I know God will see me through. Goodnight all and Godspeed on our new journey.

Well here I am 20 days post op so far I am down 30 lbs I am trying to eat a little food and when I eat solid food i can only take a few bits and I am so full. I still have to drink my Protein cause I am unable to eat enough. Not comparing. So far loving my new self WLS !!!

62 oz so far today! Will get last 2 oz in by bed time!

My nut said to me today everyone is different and we all mess up and have stalls. Just get up brush yourself off and move on you will be a success. I had my yr check up down 82 pounds and 67% of my body weight is gone. She was so pleased and so am I. Best decision I made.

My medical group would not let me see my surgeon without a 6 month supervised diet. I appealed with multiple Weight Watchers records, personal diaries, a graph I put together of years worth if diet attempts, and information on a hospital supervised program I did (this one did not involved weighing in). I followed the example appeal letter in WLS for Dummies. Explained that another 6 month program would change nothing. That all I wanted was to be healthier for myself and my family. I won the appeal and did NOT have to do a 6 month program. But as previous posters have said, see what your surgeon and insurance company says. If your insurance company requires it, you will need to do an appeal to get around it. Best wishes to you!!
