Shea days she had it under control but I am still nervous. . finally yesterday I got up the nerve to call my insurance company and the department that I needed to speak to was closed. .. so I wanted to scream. .. I'm Just going to pray on it and call them Monday around noon and see what we get? ? My schedule at work is demanding and I'm hoping that I can get surgery the 1st of December so for the new year. .I will be a new me in progress lol. .

Hi. I live in Anderson. . From Va though. .I have finally made the decision to sleeve.. I've been investigating this procedure for at least a year now and Im finally there. ..I have done all but 2 support groups and finally made it to the stage of approval and I'm so anxious The Bariatric center has been helpful but it's nerve racking. ..Where are you having your surgery if you don't mind me asking. ..

I do agree with you. .I found this site last night and almost screamed lol. .. glad there is something here for us. .. not that it's a must but nice to see. .. I've been investigating this survey for 1 year and finally decided to go with it. .. now im patiently awaiting the insurance approval but it's driving me crazy! !

Hi, Im a new to this journey and want to Congratulate all of the pre(for making the decision) and post op sleevers(for sticking with your decision). I have been debating and investigating this surgery since August 2011. I was afraid and uneducated when it came to bariatric surgery. I love this ap/website because of the positive energy and honesty, Im hoping this will help guide me thru this life long transformation. FOR ALL POST OP patients, I wanted to know..what did you feel when you first woke up from surgery, what was the first thing that came to mind, how was the pain, did you cry, how long after you woke up did you start walking the track AND if you had to....would you do it again. I finally made my decision for this life long journey on July 30 2013 and started off very slow, taking my time with support groups, and spacing out my appointments only because I was so afraid and so confused. I have just been cleared by my PCP and am now awaiting my surgery date..so Im out of the dark but cant help but still wonder I jump on this forum or look at some pics on youtube and that keeps me focus and gives off positive energy..My nurse keeps telling me my feeling are normal and Im sure they are...I cant wait to feel and look healthy Hope to hear from some POST OPS

Hi..I am so new to this and so overwhelmed. I am having my surgery done in the Upstate. .Hillcrest Hospital. I have finished my appointments and am now awaiting my sugery date! Nerves are shot but mostly from anxiety I guess....for you POST OP PATIENTS. .please tell me how you felt when you woke up from surgery? What was your first thought? Did you cry? How was the pain and how soon after waking up were you walking the track?
