Happy Halloween to me!! Surgery is scheduled for October 30th! Here's to me not looking like the Great Pumpkin next year! So excited but scared.

It's so frustrating. Hope you get your surgery date soon

Who knew I was gymnast and can flip and jump through hoops?! I got the call from my dr Thursday for approval but received a letter from insurance that additional information was requested. I had to leave a message for my dr's office. I am so flipping ready to get this going now who knows. Thinking positive!

I'm north of Columbus. I'm waiting on approval from insurance. I have no patience. It's been a long 6 mos

I finished all my pre op stuff last Thurs. My surgeon's office should be sending in anytime. Now I need to learn patience. I already called insurance to see if it was submitted. Lol. Nope not yet

You look fabulous! Awesome job

I'm sorry you are going through this! I think I would get pissed and take it all out on the treadmill or punching bag. Take this as a lesson you are doing this for you. I'd also want to lose all my weight and be like see what you are missing out on?!!! Don't punish yourself with food that you know only helps at that moment. Afterwards it does nothing but make you feel bad. YOU ARE WORTH a new and healthy you!

I asked my surgeon about the e-cig and patch and she was fine with both!

Is the group a secret group meaning if I post it doesn't show up on my timeline for others to see? If so, I will join.

You look incredible. A new you!

Go look at the before and after pics thread. Cures my apprehension every time! Good luck and it will be great.

Wow you are my hero!

I can tell you with my insurance, I have to supply 6 months supervised diet with my doctor with 7 appointments for weigh ins. I even had receipts where I was buying weight loss meal replacement shakes for 8 months and it had to be documented by a physician or WW ect

Wow! Some people. I guess I am not surprised. Still.. Wow

Having a gallbladder attack is worse than labor! There were many nights I slept in a hot bathtub. I wouldn't wish that pain on anyone! Hope you start feeling better

Congrats, you look amazing!

Good luck to you both!

I just requested to be added. Thanks for setting this up

Hi ladies, I am just north of Columbus. I am in the 6 mos supervised diet phase. My first consult with the surgeon is tomorrow. Super excited but frustrated with my diet progress.

I have a feeling I may go through this as well with my sister. Question, are your siblings overweight? I think they may possibly be jealous of your success. I can't tell you to cut your ties or ignore the comments, that is something that your heart will have to decide. Can you still be involved with them but try to separate from the drama?
