Thank you everyone, had a rough couple of first days, mostly just slept but been 2 days with out pain meds and getting around much better

I've lost 15 lbs in 10 days post surgery! Hope I keep this momentum :-). Feeling good!

So I go in for surgery on Tuesday. I'm excited and a little nervous at the same time. I hope that I have shrinked my liver enough. Tomorrow I have a big day ahead of me. I have church in the morning and then I will cook a few more freezer meals. I have some laundry to do. Do my daughters hair either tomorrow or Monday night. Then just get some rest and prepare for the rest of my life.

My kids are 22 months and almost 4.5. I'm also doing it for them as well as myself. I'm just tired of being the mom on the sideline at the park or at the amusement park etc. I want to be doing things with them. Like running, riding bikes, long walks. That is what is getting me through the nerves. I just remind myself by this time next year how different our life will be. This Sunday is the one month Mark till surgery.

Im officially in the group! Yay I got my date July 31st. In by a hair but am so excited.

I just got a call from my insurance and after being originally denied due to the surgery scheduler not sending everything in, I have now been APPROVED!!!!! July 23rd is my scheduled date and I had already started the liquid diet and am on day 3 of that.
I am doing the fat man celebration dance!!

Yay. My pre op is next week and surg is the 23rd!

Hey. I'm 25 and having surg on the 23rd. I'd love someone to chat with also!

Just put on the dress that my grandmother ordered for me. It is a size 14. And to think in February I was in a size 28. I haven't seen a 14 since middle school.

Saw my brother and sister in law for the first time since January, my surgery was in February....I hadn't realized we hadn't seen each other at all until I saw the looks on their faces....total astonishment. Felt fabulous!

I see pictures like this and my depression and fear lifts. Thanks for sharing.

My best friend is over weight we been friends for over 7 years. She is happy for me & she began losing weight before I had WLS. Now I'm slim she isn't yet but is smaller then before & I'm with her all the way. She has never said anything negative about me & I encourage her to stay healthy. That's how a friendship should be. I'm super excited for her she lost a lot of weight but she did it alone with a lot of work. I'm proud of her.
I hate when I hear of others being jealous. Why? They are skinny or about to be skinny? That's dumb!!! Men if our ass didn't leave when we were extra juicy. Now we leaving cuz we are boney lmbo give me a break. "Counting the months till plastic surgery"

I just got my call today that insurance has been approved and I am scheduled for surgery on July 25th! Excited and anxious... Oh my! :-)

Snuggler....my child is NOT a smuggler!!!

Hi everyone! Sometimes it takes looking at side by side photos to really make it sink in. I'm still losing but it has drastically slowed down so instead of getting down on myself I made a quick side by side photo to finally see the difference. The first one is the morning of my surgery, the second was taken last week. I'm down over 100lbs with 16 more to go to my Dr's goal and 36 to my personal goal. Thanks for being an amazingly supportive community to be a part of!

Sooooo super happy got my approval today....

Fingers are crossed and prayers being said. My patient care advocate called me today to inform me that she is sending my paperwork to the insurance company for approval today... She said I should hear something in a week or less. Oh my goodness I hope it's soon. I have a $40.00 reward check from Lane Bryant and I would love to by something 4 sizes smaller to move into as a short term goal since it's free money that expires in 2 weeks. Soon to never have to shop in Lane Bryant will be great too. ALL SMILES

GOod luck I will be praying for you I will join you on the losers bench friday the 12th at 7:30AM

Thank you... and keep me updated on how your next two weeks go. I was sitting at the office struggling to focus most of the day...

I am your surgery buddy too! Started the preop diet Monday. Not eating regular food is totally making this real. I have my final consult with my surgeon tomorrow and my education class and preop testing next week. Ready to move over to the losers bench with everyone.

Two weeks exactly till my surgery! Do I have the right to be freaking out or what! Lol
