I am surely becoming more and more excited! My date is April the 14th. As of right now I have the h pylori bacteria and will be starting my 14 days of antibiotics on next Wednesday the 5th. I wanted to wait till after Mardi Grad because I want to enjoy myself. After that I will have an endoscopy done on the 21st. Then on the 1st of April I have my 3 hour class, on the 7th I have my appointment with the surgeon and on the 14th I start a new life!!!... I'm excited for all of us and I wish everyone the best on their journey!!

Hi, all. Quick note for now; I'll have to add to it later. But I simply must share:
Yesterday I thought I was looking good when visiting with a friend. We went to a mall and she (walking slow and behind me sometimes) said, "Damn, girl. You need to go buy some pants!! Those are hanging off your butt, you look like you've got Depends on."
Mind you, they were 'size 20' jeans--with zipper and button--that I could NOT wear 2 months ago.
We went into 'J. Jill's' (which I'd never heard of). We pulled a size 16 pant and I said, "oh no. ain't no way I'm in a 16 pant."
I actually had a moment of [fear? trepidation?], but a weird freak-out/fear moment before I reluctantly relented and agreed to try them on.
What guess what!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Whoo-hooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They FIT!!!!!!!!!!!! I could button and zip them. They looked so good on my @$$!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We took pictures.
She also took pictures of the back of the pants I was wearing. OMG. I cannot believe how BAGGY they are in the back. I could tell the thighs were loose, but the BUTT--was like empty sacks!!!!!!! I need to post the pictures. Even the sales lady said, "you need to not even wear those pants anywhere. You need new pants, I don't care if you get them from here or not, but do not leave this mall without some new pants...and wear them out of the mall!" My pants are sooooo baggy.
Anyway, I just wanted to share, to just say...you know...this stuff--VSG--actually works. Thank God.
OH!! I CRIED (right there in the dressing room) when I really looked at my thighs, hips and butt in those size 16s!! We then went to Chico's and I tried on a "size 3" pair of jeans. They fit too!!!!!!!!!! OMG. This is really happening. 3 months/ 45 pounds and counting.
I'm rushing; excuse any typos, please. Just had to share!

The endoscopy Is a cakewalk. They sedate you and you pass out and wake up and it's over.

It should be a conscious sedation procedure with an quick acting sedative that wears off quickly and has an amnesia effect. You wont remember much but can swallow and help during if needed

Hey everybody! I have been lurking in the different forums and I have learned alot from you all. Now that my time has come to hopefully join the losing team I want to introduce my self. I'm Ke, 30 years old female and from Louisiana.
Tomorrow I will be going to my consultation to meet with the dietitian and surgon. I have taken my first step in the WLS process by finding out my insurance will cover the surgery. My insurance says that with 40+ bmi and a mental health screening the surgery should be approved rather quickly. I know that during the consultation I may have other barriers to arise but I'm covered there as well. I just saw my PCP recently and he recommended me for the surgey. Anyhow, I am super excited right now and cannot wait for tomorrow!
I won't be to extreme today. I'll wait to be high strung tomorrow when I can tell you guys how it went. XOXO
