I'm late too. Current weight 257. Goal by vday is 240. (Would be halfway to total goal!)

Very glad to hear from you. Praying this works! Way to stay strong.

I'm worried. Anyone heard from him?

I, like many others, I'm guessing have been following your journey. I got sleeved on November 4th. Besides a few hiccups doing well. My heart goes out to you. I wish there was more we (as BP community) could do. I hope you get some answers soon. Do your best, try to keep your your head up (best you can). Thanks for sharing your experiences and really hoping things take a turn for the better soon

Nothing is wrong with you hon. Promise. This is a big decision. It's major surgery and its something that you are deciding to do. Nothing wrong with questioning it and being scared. I was TERRIFIED. even up to the moment when they had the IV in (but not in the OR yet) I thought about asking to leave. I'm exactly one week post op. I'm not saying it's been the best week ever, but it's been totally fine. A few days of discomfort for a lifetime of healthiness? Yes please. As people told me, if you weren't scared, I would be worried about THAT. you'll do great!!

Can I ask what insurance companies you guys have that have given approvals?

I think each doctor is different. Some require that you lose a certain amount of weight. My doctor pretty much just required that we didn't gain weight (but of course wanted us to lose). For me, we started on a diet plan prior to the pre-op diet (lower cals, healthy foods, exercise). The nurse told us that they only had to turn away two or three people because they had gained too much weight. So, do your best is my advice. You can do it. Go get it girl

Not everybody has to do it. It's for bowel prep. My doc didn't require it. Just one of those doc preferences things. Your surgeon would have told you if they wanted you to do it!

Good luck everyone. There is a secret Facebook group that has excellent support!! No one else can see it. It's been a huge help. Pm me your Facebook info if you want to join.
