Thank you so much for sharing this information. I'm still in my pre-op phase, but this information is absolutely priceless.

I forgot to mention, I need to lose 8lbs prior to this next appointment so I'm dilegently working on watching my intake. Mentally preparing for the 2 weeks of liquids before surgery as well.

Hi all - I'm in the greater Cleveland area here in Ohio. I am an employee of and will be having my surgery at Cleveland Clinic with Dr. Philip Schauer. Just one last pre-op appt scheduled for 3/5/14 before I have my final clearance then I'll be waiting for the approval from insurance (which I'm told is just a few days turnaround) then I'll have my date.

Congratulations!!!! Isn't this an exciting journey!!!! I'm just moved up my last pre-op appt to March 5. Getting anxious and absolutely cannot wait! Please feel free to share the details of your journey! And stay in touch

Hi all. I don't have my surgery date, but I'm extremely excited about making the decision to have this procedure and happy to be amongst so many supportive people. *waving* Any questions, just ask. I look forward to sharing stories and support with everyone.

Thanks for the warm welcomes everyone....I'm so excited about this journey in my life. Looking forward to being healthy and the possiblity of being able to easily shop off the rack in a store! (LOL)

Greetings everyone! I'm a married mother of three (boys). I'm currently in what I guess is the clearance process. My initial consult was 1/17/14. I've been cleared by my surgeon and nutritionist and need just one more visit with my psychologist which is currently 3/10/14. Pending my surgeons schedule I'm told my surgery date could be no layer than early April. Like many others, I've been on the weight loss roller coaster for years. I lose 20-30 lbs then regain plus a few after each attempt. Currently, I don't have any health issues, but do have a family history which coupled with my weight is becoming a concern for me. I'm not sure what else to share, other than the fact that I'm excited to have found this platform with so much support and information. I look forward to meeting new people, sharing stories and supporting others while on this journey.
