  1. I'm just wondering how long everybody stayed in the hospital? My surgeon said it will probably be one night, but it seems like most stay two? How long did you stay?
  2. Congrats on the date. I had delays too and will be sleeved the same day, keep us posted.
  3. Such a nice post. I'm hoping for the same soon!
  4. Wishing you a speedy recovery and much success!
  5. I'm on the 25th. I'm very excited, but really haven't told many people. I guess I fear I will somehow fail once again. But I'm ready and hopeful for my future. Best wishes all!
  6. Love it, and all the same to you. I'm very excited for my journey. This site has been such a wonderful resource for me. I truly enjoy reading about everybodies victories and stories. I don't feel as alone with this struggle and love that so many here get it and have the same hopes and fears I do. Much love.
  7. Looks like it's either the 11th or 25th depends on the surgeon. I hope to find out very soon. As much as I really want it done now so the 11th would be faster, my dh is out of the country that day and with the kids and hospital being over an hour and a half away I guess I'm hoping for the 25th. I'm so ready to have this done, but realize it's for the rest of my life. Patience is something I need to work on.
  8. So sorry wishing you strength and good wishes.
  9. I think at Rex in Raliegh there are two hospital options. Best wishes on your journey.
  10. I was told the same thing. I know they were able to get extra days covered for me with my csecs due to complications. I'm assuming this might be similar?
  11. I had my consultation around November 14th and was approved yesterday hopefully surgery by the 28th.
  12. The same thing happened to me. It had to be faxed three times before they found it attached to another person's file. Then today I called twice to the office to schedule and nobody called back. Frustrated. But so thrilled to be approved. You have to stay on top of things more than I'm used to and nobody seems to feel the urgency I do, lol.
  13. I started around the first of December. I just got approved tonight. I'm on cloud nine will schedule a date tomorrow!
  14. Best wishes for a speedy recovery and smooth surgery! Prayers.
  15. 15 so far in the last couple weeks surgery should be the 28th. Hoping for another eight which puts me right at 35bmi. I want to start as low as possible I'm a slow loser.
  16. You'll do great! Just keep up the good work, it is really worth it! Praying for you!
  17. Big congrats! I'm hoping for the same early Christmas present hopefully this week! So happy for you!
