reaching high

I'm having surgery August 12th!! Good luck to everyone!!!

Am scheduled for August 12th!! Super excited!!!

Yay sooooo excited for all of us!!!!...... My last hurdle ...I "failed" my sleep study test so they are setting me up with a cpap machine dde22 my pulmonologist won't give me the clearance until I get set up with it!!! Ughhhhhh SOOO annoying hoping this doesn't effect my august 11th date I already took the time off work

I also had to have a Cpap. I got mine a week ago and just now getting use to sleeping with it. I wouldn't think it would delay your surgery date. My surgery date is the 12th and this was scheduled just this week!! Good luck!!

I am scheduled for August 12th!! Woohoo!! Finally!'

Congrats!!! I will be having VGS on the 12th of August!!! So excited!!

<p>I got mine too!! July 24th!!!</p>

That's great!!! I wanted to do mine sooner but I have a conference I have to attend the last week of July in NOLA and I didn't want to chance not being able to go!

I live in Iuka but having surgery with Dr Pinson in Tupelo! Date set this week for August 12!! So excited!! I did a contract at Baptist in Oxford about twelve years ago! There where some good people there! And we are huge Ole Miss fans!!!

Have a surgery date!!! So excited!! I will be joining the losers bench August 12th!! So excited!!

Congrats!! Where are u having your surgery?

Hi all <br> surgery is 5/5, and have been onliquid diet for 6 days. Constipation has gotten progressively worse, any advice?

My psych eval is next Wed. They said it will be a three hour visit! I cannot image what we are going to talk about.

Had my initial consult with my doctor today! I'm excited. On my way over though I was thinking this could be the best decision I've made or the worse. I truly believe it will be the best!! I'm so ready for a change!!!

I just ordered a sample pack that has several different flavors from chike. Can't wait to try them.

I live in Iuka.

Hey Mississippi guys and gals!!

I'm from northeast mississippi. I am going to Dr Pinson on Wed to discuss having VGS.

I know this is an older thread but I was wondering how everyone has been doing. I am scheduled to do initial with Dr Pinson on Wed. I decided to go to him because of it being closer to home for me and I have not heard of anyone having any complications.

My doctor requires a two night stay regardless of pay source. I'm self pay but I appreciate that.

Has anyone here used Dr Pinson in Tupelo? I'm scheduled for initial app next week. Would like to hear from someone and hear their experience.

Hey everyone!! I'm a Mississippi girl too!! I live in Iuka. I have BCBs ins that has the bariatric exclusion so I'm having to pay out of pocket. I considered Mexico but decided I want someone closer if I had complications. I have my initial consult with Dr Pinson this coming Wed. Excited and nervous.

Thanks everyone! I think I will check out some of the other brands.

Has anyone tried the fit bit? Which do you like? I've looked at the fitbit flex and fitbit bit one. Not sure which to get.

<p>Day 9 Post op....So excited I'm down 2 more pounds. 230 lbs as of today. I was afraid I would stop losing because I was introducing more food, I was scared to step on the scale. Truth is I'm still scared that it will stop, and I know there will be stalls and days where I won't lose and because of that I must stop weighing myself everyday. I'm still trying to learn the signals of when my body is full, today I started eating and looked for the signals and sure enough after the second bite (incredible right?) I was getting that feeling of fullness and then after the third the burps. I waited for a while and took my last bite and after another 10minutes I started on my 1/4 cup of yogurt (yogurt goes down easy). I am so full. I tried my uniform yesterday and the pants are loose and the top too. I hate exercise but this surgery has given me motivation. Everyday I'm trying to walk a little if I can't get my 30 minutes in which is my goal at least I do half. Thanks everyone for the words of encouragement. And to everyone that is in the pre-op stages hang in there and follow the Drs instructions to the teeth. I still crave food and when I cook for my kids I still wish I could have some but somehow knowing that doing that might mess up everything stops me from even trying that and that I don't want to imagine being sick. I have been fortunate with little pain and no nausea, dizziness or vomiting and I want to keep it that way. </p>

Jenelle, I have enjoyed reading your journey so far. Wishing you the best of luck. I'm hoping to have surgery in May. I go next week to see the surgeon. I hope I have an easy time like you. I'm not really worried about pain, but more so of having nausea and vomiting. Maybe it will all be good though. Getting excited and ready for a change!!

Good luck to all who are joining the losers bench tomorrow!! I hope I'll be joining you all soon!????

I am hoping I can bypass the psych eval or shop for someone else. That's just to pricey for me.

I have to two two weeks high Protein low carb and then two weeks clear liquid. I haven't gotten my surgery date yet, but I'm doing the high protein low carb now.
