I just got my surgery date for April 30, 2014 @ 7:30am. I have to go see the doctor and go to hospital to get my instructions on tomorrow. Does anyone know about the final steps from the hospitals point of view what could hender me from going forward? Meaning blood work, ekg, etc..... I'm so excited and anything now woud crush me if my date would change.

Ready For My Transformation!

msshellg I had the same problem except I use to always to mom I am to "skinny". I promise I regret those words coming out of my mouth. My knees are bad so just to get the weight off of them will be a huge relief for me. May God continue to be with you!

My paperwork went on Friday April 7 and Im still waiting............. All I can think about is that Ross Commercial open, open, open my words are hurry, hurry, hurry...LOL Good luck to you all!

I'm having a hard time tracking taking 2 kinds of insulin shots as well as the sgots to check my sugar level. I pray that this will get better after I have my surgery. Fingers and stomach sore from needles

I woud just tell them what I am going to tell the people I work with: I'm eating healthier for me. For me I have 2 daughters that i want to see get married and have children but not to soon beacuse Im ready to get my life and body back.

Good Luck to YOU!!!

Hello All,

I started this journey in December 2013. I have completed my 3 nut classes and my pysc evaluation. On Tuesday I go in for my reassessment with the doctor. I am a little bit nervous beause 3 weeks ago I was in te hospital because my sugar from my diabetes was at 400. So I guess Im wondering if this will stop me from getting the suegery. I am now on 2 different types of insulin and this sticking myself 3 times a day is staring to get on my nerves. Has anyone had problems with having sugar problems and your surgery did not happen? Help.....

You look great!! Congrats

Hey Kelly i have a 3 month wait. I statred this journey in December when I went to see te doctor. I just finished my 2nd of 3 nutritional classes. The waiting has nt been as bad since I found this site. All of the information is just great becuase it gives you pros and cons, it tells you of the good and bad experiences and it also helps you to see what are someof the things you may or may not endure. Time has really moved quickly becausse I look at thi site everyday as wel as others. I cant wait for my journey to begin. Good luck its right around the corner!

That is great news. I hope that all goes well!

To me yes she did look she was rather thin.

My thoughts exactly!!!!

Congrats that's amazing!

Be encouraged when I first weighed in I was at 232. At my 1st nutritional visit I was at 236. I asked the same question and boy was I scared. I have Aetna and she just told me be sure not gain anymore weight. I have my 2nd nutritional visit on Wednesday and I am praying that I have not gained anything by there scales. U should be ok. Check with the insurance company and see what your limits are. Good Luck

Sorry I can't tell u what the self pay is but I can say that he (Dr. Robert Davis) is doing my gastric bypass. I have my 2nd of 3 nutritional appointment on Wednesday. I am looking forward to going through this process for a better healthier life.

Hey Ladies I have not had my surgery yet. I am on my 2nd of 3 nutritional visits and then hopefully I will be getting a surgery date. I look forward to chatting with you all as the time S LO W L Y goes by. The stories in this forum are amazing a well as informational.

Google The Davis Clinic. Good Luck

Blondiee is right. I just started as well. I had my first nutrition class in January and my second one is coming up in February. I don't reply to much but the information in this forum is just great. It has helped me move on a little it further. After February I have one more nutrition class and I hope to have my gastric bypass sometime in April. I also had a concern about my weight and I was told by my insurance adjuster that they do stick with the weight I started with. Though I am not doing anything drastic to drop a whole lot of weight but I am getting my body ready fro the surgery! Good luck, this too will pass!

LOL!!! When u Fluff! I'll have to use that word. Good luck to u!

I will be 50 October 11, 2014 and I hope to have my GB in April!

Congrats and Good Luck!
