nervous&happy

You look great congrats !!!! Keep up the good work and pictures!

I agree with asking your surgeon about the medical question but the personal ones that I have are better to be asked to people that have gone through the process i believe my surgeon is super sweet and knowledgable but at the end of the day he does the surgery he doesn't know what it's like to be the person who has to take the journey .... I guess I'm just nervous because I do feel alone, yes my husband and mom support me but they are both thin and don't understand my worries ... I hear a lot of positive things about the surgery but the negatives also scare me Anorexia hair loss I was also wondering - I know you need to take Vitamins ... Any suggestions? Also during stage 1 do you take the vitamins I'm confused about that

Love going online and reading peoples positive life changing stories it gives me hope and confidence... I haven't had my surgery yet still waiting on insurance approval so fingers crossed! I would love to hear your stories and before & after pictures ... Would really help calm my nerves thank you all

Hi I'm new here 22 years old and considering gastric bypass... Did my 6 month clearance, have my surgery date, did my pre-op class just waiting for my insurance to clear me... Anyway I downloaded this app a while back but haven't posted much since I was kinda afraid to jinx my chances of having the surgery... But I really need support so I'm crawling out of my comfort zone and going to start asking loads of questions for those who can help & have gone through this... As my surgery date approaches I'm getting more nervous, and some questions popped in my head for instance... Can you go on to have a vaginal delivery if you've had wls? Can you breastfeed? (I'm a huge breastfeeding advocate & plan on having another baby in the future so these 2 questions are a huge concern) I have tons of question but just writing this spooked my nervous lol & forget most of them... If your near my age or have being through this for a long time I would love to private message you Maybe be weight loss friends? Anyway thanks for reading I could use support my nervous are out the window...

I hope I get that letter soon... It's like I'm close the the finish line but still can't cross it

Thank you this kinda calmed my nerves ... I guess I've just been through so much I'm kinda scared to get excited you know

I did all the months of going around to different doctors and got all the clearance letters, met with my new surgeon and he was surprised never go a patient bring in the papers before meeting them, anyway after I gave him all my clearance letters he gave my a surgery date and even booked my post op appointments.... What I'm confused about is does this mean my insurance approved my surgery? I want to get excited about my surgery date but I keep thinking they are going to call me and tell me my insurance didn't approve it I'm so confused ! My question is will the surgeon give the date before being approved or does this mean I AM approved?

Hi I started mines and tried to cram in all the doctors and appointments at once ... That definitely made everything go by faster... The exams and the poking and all of that is definitely exhausting but once you have all those clearance letters in your hand it feels great and you'll be one step closer to beginning your new life
