Thanks Ladies! I am coming to terms with it. Lol! An extra week to prepare I suppose... and my kids want to hang out at the hospital while I am 'under the knife' so they can now since it is a school holiday. Thanks again for your kind words. It is very appreciated! (<--- that's a real smile!)

I am hoping that some of you that are completely healed can describe the hunger or non-hunger feelings you have now? Like if you eat a few too many bites of food does it feel like over eating on thanksgiving? If you don't eat do you feel dizzy? Do you forget to eat? Thanks!

No more hunger headache?! Wow! That would be awesome!! Thanks for sharing

You are doing great! I can't wait to have numbers to post

Great news!!! Happy to hear you are feeling better

Thanks for the insight ladies! I am praying I have the same result as you all! For as long as I can remember food has been my hobby. I love all things food... I have been really good about changing that over the last year, but I still get the 'must have food now' syndrome at times. I just want to be on the "I eat to live" team, rather then the "I live to eat" team I appreciate allllll the support I get here. thanks again!

Congrats! You sound great Wishing you an easy recovery!

Thanks! I got an envelope full of papers to go over before my pre-op class in the mail today... it's getting more real every day!!!

Great question! Lol! I start on Feb 1st. But have been trying to replace one meal a day with a shake for the last few days... I am thinking a lot of meditation and praying What is your surgery date?

Yay! Congrats on the approval!! (Those bananas are naughty!) LOL

....and that smiley is cute keep him. Lol!

4 months seems far too long. Have you already gone through the insurance requirements/approval? Perhaps you should look into an alternate surgeon? My surgeons office has been great, and basically 'held my hand' through the entire process. The day I got my insurance approval they scheduled my surgery date. I hope you get some news soon!

Thanks Ladies! 3 weeks from today... biting nails. Lol!

Hi SkinnyB:) I get so excited when I see someone has gotten their 'date'! I got mine yesterday 2/14!! Best wishes! I hope your recovery is an easy one I can't wait to see and share before and after pics!

Wow. I learn something new every day! Cute that this is postes as a NSV

@beach and diva! LOL! That is hilarious! Btw, I call gossipy magazines "trashy magazines" also. Hahahah!

My pre-op diet starts on Feb 1st!! I still can't believe I have a date! I am so excited for all of us

Feb 14!! Feels soooooooo good to actually have a date!

So exciting! Wishing you the best and easy recovery!

Hi! I am in San Diego... looking for any of Dr. Mueller's patients...?

I get the same thing...?

When I met with my surgeon the first time he told me almost the same thing; this is surgery to fight a disease. And YES, obiesity IS a disease. I am doing what I feel is necessary to keep me healthy, and I can't wait!! thanks for posting this!

My surgeons office had a list of suggested psych drs for the pre-op evaluation... so I called, they said they took my insurance, made an apt, paid my $25 copay, done. I thought. Today I got a bill for $250 from the psych dr, stating he is not a plan physician. I would think the dr office would let me know that before the apt, but nope. I should know better since I work in insurance, but for some silly reason I didn't even think about checking.... darn. Also in the mail today is some kind of insurance approval letter, but the language on it is so confusing, I am not 100% sure. LOL! Of corse Aetna Member Services and surgeons office is closed until Monday... so I wait. (Time is moving so slowly!!) Hahahah!

I am looking forward to walking into any store in the mall and finding my size on the rack, no more shopping at one big girl store... I want to be able to wipe my butt well without breaking a sweat and feeling like a contourtionist... I can't wait to share jeans with my daughter... I hope I can give my CPAP machine away soon... and getting my MILF status back
