Krista- Glad I finally figured this posting thing out. I've been prepping for this VSG for almost 20 months. Went from 336 to 300 and back up to 311. I was supposed to lose 10% of my body weight before surgery. Today, after all the insurance BS, I finally found out that I will have surgery on 1/5/11. One of the things that's helped me lose a few lb's over the past week is going out to GNC and buying some whey Protein powder. We both know we'll be on that stuff for a good 3-4 weeks anyway so why not check it out now. So, I'm trying to replace Breakfast and lunch with the stuff and cutting back on the dinner carbs a bit. One coffee and an apple for a snack. it ain't easy BUT the H2O 9crystal light) will help suck off a quick 12-15 before surgery. Hope u get this.

First timer as well. I'm getting the VSG surgery on the 5th. Still ironing out the possible "slight" sleep apnea issue as well as the insurance "thing". Time to stop the two years of prep and all the co-pays and get down to business! Good Luck with everything!

Lydia- Great story. I'm pre-op and, after pursuing this for almost two years of appointments, am tentatively scheduled for a VSG on January 5th. Started at 336 and now at 305 and climbing back steadily. Hope to get final insurance clearance sooner than later. Thanks for the pep talk!
