  1. Thank you! I've already been checked in! I'm so nervous
  2. Well your hospital seems nicer than nice. The nurse that called me Friday to confirm my time for today was kind of rude. I hope someone tells me my mother can stay with me.
  3. Hey guys!! Today is the big day!! I will be having surgery at 12pm. I was wondering how Long was the surgery and were you about to have someone stay with you in the hospital over night?
  4. That's awesome!!! I guess I shouldn't be so negative can hardly see your name picture but from what I can see you look great! I hope to also have a success journey like you
  5. Hello, My surgery is tomorrow and I'm nervous. I'm also afraid I will have a lot of loose skin. Anyone here 5'8 and weight around 260-270 and doesn't have much loose skin?
  6. Does he know that you had the surgery? I've been speaking to a guy and he knows how I look because we met 5yrs ago and always kept in touch via FB and IG but now we speak everyday but I don't want to hang out until after my surgery which is this Monday the 8th..he doesn't know I'm having surgery tho. I want to hang out when I've lost a few pounds and feel better about myself.
  7. I was just told by the insurance company that I was officially approved..now I'm nervous and keep thinking what If something goes wrong does anyone know how long the surgery is?
  8. Thank you!!!! Do you know how long the surgery is? I think I should write a few questions down and call the coordinator tomorrow.
  9. So I was too impatient to wait for Thursday and I called the insurance company and I was told it was approved!!! I'm excited but mostly nervous! What if something goes wrong
  10. I'm doing a two week diet which consist of small portions of specific foods. I have to do the liquid diet on Sunday. It does suck though because I already requested two weeks off from work. They aren't aware of what I'm going to do. The anticipation of waiting for the approval or denial is killing me.
  11. I'm also scheduled for April 8th but haven't been approved yet. In afraid I'm going to be denied. The coordinator said he wouldn't worry that he's sure I will be approved. But I'm always negative about stuff so I'm thinking what if I'm the first case ever that has been denied. he told me to call him Thursday that he should have an answer by then
  12. I'm also set for April 8. Just waiting for the insurance approval...getting it done here in the states too..
  13. So I went today to see the surgeon n got a surgery date for April 8..I'm nervous and excited. I just hope my insurance approves the procedure. Starting my 2 week preop diet tomorrow.
  14. Wow u look amazing!! When were u sleeved? What was ur starting weight? How tall are u?
  15. I finished my mandatory 6 month pre op checkups n all the necessary blood work. I was cleared by all the doctors. All I am waiting for is a call from the coordinator to set up an appt to meet the surgeon. After that we set an appt date n submit to the ins company. I hope I get approved. If I don't I will hit rock bottom. It's been a very long process. I just hope it was all worth it at the end. My Vitamin D level is low tho. Has anyone been denied because of it?
  16. Thank you for sharing you success. May you continue to lose weight n get to your goal weight. I hope me story is as successful as yours
  17. My papers will be submitted within the next week or two. Her success has also made me positive
  18. Well let me say it again u look great! I'm 5'8 at 262. My fear is to have extra skin to the point I would need plastic surgery which I wouldn't want..how did u lose all the weight? Did u also exercise or u lost the 92 pounds Becuz of the sleeve?
  19. You look great!! What was your starting weight? How tall are you? Did you have any surgery for extra skin? That is my fear to have extra skin
  20. What was your starting weight? How tall are u? You look great btw
  21. U look great! Congrats! I weight about the same now but I'm still pre-op..do u have alot of loose skin? I'm afraid to have loose skin on my stomach n arms
  22. I don't think u need to take them out. All they need is to be able to get to ur scull..I was also told to take my nail polish off my middle fingers. But becuz I was told when I got there n not before, I couldn't remove it due to the fact that I do gel manicure. It's not easy to remove it. They were able to put the clip on my big toe instead of on my middle finger
