  1. Hello

    bratvp63 replied to LadyIvy's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
    Hi Ivy - I am new here too. I will be having surgery in the Dec/Jan time frame and I can hardly wait. Good luck to you and I hope you hear something soon!

  2. To Tell or Not to Tell

    bratvp63 posted a topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
    I am new here...I am almost through my pre-surgery testing and 6 month supervised diet (insurance required) and should have a Dec or Jan surgery date. What I am wondering is did you tell people you were doing WLS before you did it? Did you wait till the weight started coming off and people notice before you said anything? Would love to know how much info you shared and with whom.

  3. Does anyone else here think that "finding" their collar bones is pretty damn cool?

    I can hardly wait, it's been so many years since I've seen mine. Congrats to you!!!

  4. I'm not approved yet, but I'm so excited!

    I am totally there with you. I have my physc test tomorrow with the follow up in two weeks. I am then scheduled to meet with the surgeon on Oct 18th. I am hoping that we'll be scheduling my surgery at that appt. I'm thinking it will be late Dec or early Jan! I have to complete the six month medically supervised diet before the insurance will approve. That will be completed Dec 14th. I can hardly wait. Good luck to you and let's keep in touch.
