  1. Hi all, I was approved for a 1 day stay and i'm wondering if i'll be well enough to leave after a day. What was your hospital stay? How did you feel a day after surgery?
  2. Remember that scene in Pretty Woman when she goes back to the store after those women were mean to her? Love it! Wondering if anyone had paid back anyone that treated you like crap, made fun of you, dismissed you when you were overweight. I mean the best revenge is living well but wondering if anyone has any interesting stories.

  6. Oh i feel like i'll probably burst into tears at the hospital. This is the right step for me and I'm committed to doing the work but doesn't help with the nerves. I wonder of requesting a tour of the facility might help.
  7. No deaths in the practice. Again highly capable surgeon. It's very reassuring but i'm still nervous as hell
  8. Of course i know it's a risk and have had a robust conversation with my surgeon about the pros/cons but now that i've been approved and scheduled for October i feel excited but also terrified. Terrified of not waking up, complications etc...... My surgeon and hospital i'm using has an excellent track record but I can't shake this nervous feeling. Maybe it's because i've never had surgery. Hope it's just pre-surgery jitters.
  9. Haha i'm sure it was good that you quit anyways. Congrats on quitting!
  10. Congrats those are amazing stats. Did you lose the 12 pounds before surgery with the liquid diet? Is the liquid diet that hard? Also, how was your recovery process. Just got approved for a 1 night stay and scheduled for end of October. Excited and Terrified at the same time.
  11. Thanks I hope your situation gets sorted out soon!
  12. Haven't ever been thin so wondering what kind of changes to expect? Obviously with the weight loss, I'm expecting things like being more nimble, thighs not rubbing together maybe dropping a shoe size etc. What else can I expect? Also did anyone experience an unexpected changes (either good or bad) from the weightless e.g being cold, change in taste etc Appreciate your feedback!
  13. Yup in my current state I feel like this is something I might miss.
  14. Man they really do take their time getting back ti you huh. Congrats!
  15. I feel on top of the world right now!!! I've been fretting since I submitted on the 19th. I called to check up on my status on the 26th and it was still pending. Called them today and turns out I was approved on the 27th. Arghhhh for the delay but yay for the good news. I'm so pumped right now! So ready to get the show on the road.
  16. Well isn't this timely, I've just been approved for surgery. *crying tears of joy*
  17. I've been approved! I've been approved! I've been approved! I've been fretting all week and finally called insurance only to find out that I've been approved since Friday. Arghhh but yay!
  18. I love hearing from post-op folks. At the pre-op you keep second guessing yourself and wondering if VSG is really necessary. It's different for folks that have never been thin, I mean if I hated being overweight why did i put up with it for us long? I loathe everything about being fat but I do enjoy food. My post-op NSV other than the great things that come with losing weight would be eating to live and not craving food all the time.
  19. Yes really! If you don't like the post don't contribute geez
  20. Ugh I totally emphatize about pictures. I hate getting my picture taken, sucking it in so doesn't help lol
  21. Yay, this makes me happy. I hope the food cravings go away after the sleeve and I can just eat to live.
  22. Yay, congrats. Still waiting for approval so celebrating vicariously through you
  23. Man, nothing has been more painful than not being able to wear heels. I've been in a couple of weddings recently and holy cow, pure torture. Congrats on your success, I hope this is me in a year
  24. Feeling like my life is on hold. I'll do xxxx when I lose weight Lugging the weight around, so exhausting! Feeling like people are judging you Man, hoping my approval comes through soon. So ready to start this journey!
