Hi Mickey, welcome! Trust me we all have mixed emotions with the best decision we have ever made by doing wls. Nervous Excited Anxious Afraid Doubts Happy Just to name a few lol Its only normal to have all these feelings. You are making the right decision for a healthier new YOU! I wish you the best with your wls journey!

Congrats!!

My surg date is also 4/16, waiting for insurance approval. Best of luck to u MKG!

Congrats on your approval! My paperwork was submitted to insurance on 4/2, so my insurance will be getting a call from me starting on Tuesday lol Best of luck on your WLS journey!!!

Hi Nikki I had this discussion with both my surgeon and nutritionist today and they told me I better use some sort of protection with hubby cause once I start dropping the weight I will become very likely to get pregnant and they said its best to wait one year before getting pregnant. Once your pregnant your Dr and/or nutritionist will help you tweak you diet to get enough nutrients for your baby. GL on your WLS journey!

Best of Luck to you tomorrow!! Wishing you a speedy recovery!

Thank you! My paperwork has been submitted to insurance today with surg date April 16! Can't wait...

WooHoo just got final clearance from nut! On my way to see surgery coordinator so we can submit paperwork to insurance with surg date April 16.

Best of Luck! I start my liquid diet April 9. GL on your WLS journey!!!

April 16 here! GL on your wls journey!!!

People are going to talk, make comments, be negative...etc etc. At the end of the day it is your decision alone. You have a supportive husband, what else do you need. I wish you the best on your wls journey!

Southwest Airlines is your BEST option! I know for a fact that they will give you two seats at no extra charge! Just when you check-in make sure to tell them...usually they are good at offering it to you if they see that you are overweight. I know it sucks but at least you wont have to pay for a 2nd seat and this will be your last time having to worry about this

Can you share what type of PAT tests you did just before surgery? TIA

Morgan don't beat urself up, we're not perfect. Just get back on the wagon and keep on rollin! Your journey is a long road but there is a light at end of the tunnel. Stay focused and keep ur eye on the prize! GL on ur journey!

Yes the next 3 months will fly!!! Before u know it ur gonna be like wait a minute everything is happening so fast. I'm at that stage now. My surg date is April 16, my pcp just submitted my clearance for surg today and all I've got left is my last nut session next week thurs. Then I will start my liquid diet the week after. GL on ur wls journey!

I also have neuropathy on my right leg from back injury I got from car accident. I'm 31 years old and been dieting all my life but after going thru this pain for over a year I then decided wls was my best option. WLS is my answer to be pain free and healthy! (hi blood press & cholesterol) GL on ur journey!!!

My surgeon is putting me on a 1 week liquid diet, optional to do 2 weeks for better outcome of shrinking liver. So I'm going to do 2 weeks. As far as going back to work 2-3 weeks....Dr said at least 2 weeks to fully recover.

Everytime you drop a size... Drop them big clothes into a bag!!! There is no going back to big clothes...only going back to smaller clothes! Good Luck everyone!

There is a light @ the end of tunnel. Keep ur eye on the prize!!! Don't give into temptation, it will pay off in the end. Best of luck on ur wls journey.

Update Final nut session is April 3 Therefore surgeon has moved up surg date to April 23, woohoo!!!

My surg date is April 23. GL on ur journey!

Much success on ur wls journey VDennis!
