Great they approved you that quickly. I have bc/bs federal also. Submitting my paperwork after last weigh in on 8/19. Maybe surgery on 9/3 once approved. Getting really nervous now.

Congrats on your surgery and excellent surgery!

Good luck.

Just found out my tentative date in sept 3. Excited but also second guessing too. Just need to keep pushing through. Will be happy with the end result. Good luck.

Glad your surgery went well and such a great weight loss. Hope you keep feeling better. Nervous of getting the surgery in about one month. Helps to read your experience.

Good luck. Will be thinking of you.

Have a great day at work. I just read all your post and you are doing great. Hope you feel better every day!

You should be very proud of yourself for doing this for yourself! Glad you are feeling ok. Nice to hear of others going through this experience. I am not scheduled yet but anticipate the end of August or beginning of sept. Question myself everyday if this is the right choice. After reading your post it help me keep going with the decision for surgery. Thanks for your post.

I understand how you feel. I awaiting my surgery date the end of August or beginning of September and am already nervous that it is this close and actually going to happen. Seems like it is normal to question ourselves but is a life changing decision that most no one regrets.

My nut recommended unflavored injury protein post op. Said taste buds change and usually don't like flavored protein. Can add to anything and make own protein shakes with sugar free flavoring like Hershey's syrup sugar free and coffee mate and tortellini coffee flavoring. Also said crystal light. I'm not sleeved yet though so just going by preop class.

Congratulations.

I'm a newbie. Currently in the process of prepping for surgery. Nutritionist meeting done, 1 of 3 classes done, met surgeon and received cardiac and pcp clearance. Need 2 weigh ins and psych clearance. Scheduled for July 29 and August 19th. Told I must have surgery within 30 days of last weigh in so sometime end of August to September. Can't believe it is really going to happen. Scared to death of surgery and questioning if I can and should do this? Want the surgery to just be done. Hard not knowing what to expect and all the changes. Need to keep reading everyone's post for encouragement and hope.
