Hi! I have had an awesome experience with my surgery!! I was really anxious about the insurance at that same point. Just remember that they pre-certified you after your information session. I will be happy to answer any questions you may have or share my experience. Just send a pm.

I had my one week post-op appt today. I was on Clear Liquids only for the week after discharge. My recovery has gone well, except for a bad cough for 2 days (cold or allergies - was able to take robitussin). I am happy so far! Not having trouble getting my liquids in. Had one Protein Shake, 4 oz at a time, no prob. No prob with milk. I am slightly worried that stuff goes down pretty easy. Wish I felt the restriction a little more. Daily, I am trying to face just how much of this is really up to me. Reading the comments on this forum helps me face that.
And I am released to return to Water aerobics next week!

Happy birthday Maddie. My Facebook name is Rosalynn Palmer Revette.

Awesome!! I too enjoy reading your post. I am having surgery on July 16 and my starting weight is just under your starting weight. You give me so much inspiration as I'm traveling this pre-surgery journey. I pray that I will have similar results as you. I am 43 and have 3 children that are 6 and under. I want to be healthy so that I can be around to watch them grow up. However, to be there, I have to change where I am today. I'm spiritually, mentally, and physically ready!! A lot of my feeling and being ready is from reading post from people like you. Keep it up!!!

Hi everyone! I am also hoping for a July date. However, I will not know until after my July 1 appointment which is the 4th and last required appointment. Due to my work schedule, we are planning to get all of my tests completed in late June and then submit and wait on insurance. We have discussed trying to do my surgery by July 19. I am from Mississippi.

I hear you! I need to have it in the summer too. I'm a mother of four and I'm also a teacher. However, despite my summers off, I am the dance team sponsor. We have camps throughout the summer, I have trainings, and I want a vacation somewhere in between!!! So, I have a small window of opportunity. I hope everything works out for you!

Kat---I am a mother of three with the oldest 6 years old. I will begin my first principal job this summer. I have been the asst. principal for quite a few years. I understand the dance thing. I coached cheerleaders for 15 years. Hoping your summer works out the way you need it to.

Praying blessings and speedy recovery for you! Congrats on the weight loss thus far.

I too am new. I am still meeting insurance requirements of 4 visits with weight loss management with my surgeon's office, meeting with a nutritionist, having a psych eval., and all the pre-surgery tests. Planning to get psych eval in May, complete all tests in June. My final visit with weight loss will be first of July. 2nd visit with surgeon should be same day. Hoping to get approval and have surgery by July 19. Surgeon's office says that it is doable. We shall see. If I don't have it in July, I will not be able to have the surgery until September due to work requirements.

Great job!!!
