I wanna buddy...mine is March 24

My goodness. I will keep you in my prayers

Is it normal for protein shakes to make you sick to your stomach? I start my 2 week pre-op tomorrow and I decided to experiment on a shake recipe this morning and it has made me so nauseous.

Unjury and Pure Protein

@lifeofblair....good to know

I am getting sleeved on March 24. I hope that one day I can say that I have the success that you have!! Congrats

If you can't swallow a pill...how are you supposed to take your regularly scheduled meds after surgery??

Does anyone know how long it will be until I can drive...I also would like info about what vitamins I need to purchase. I'm 3 weeks pre-op and I'm just trying to get everything ready

Thanks y'all

I finally got my surgery date. It March 24

My surgery is on March 24. What vitamins should I already be taking?? Or should I wait til my pre-op diet? When and what??

March 24th for me! I am so nervous. I am so afraid of failure. My mind won't stop!!!

I've had the same thing happen to me. I'm finally done. Hallelujah. It has taken me a total of 14 months to get approved. I have Graves' disease. I had to have my thyroid removed, which has caused additional weight gain in trying to regulate the replacement hormone. It has been a very long process, however, in finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. Now I'm waiting for the surgery coordinator to get with me on a surgery date. More waiting. Being on this app/website has been eye opening. I didn't realize that after the weight loss that it is going to a major struggle to keep the weight off. I'm doing this because I'm tired of struggling. I just hope that it is a REAL success for me. I am committed 100% I'm just scared at this point that I may be a failure and I don't want that.

What dr did you use? When did you have your surgery?

I am waiting for surgery date. Reading some recent posts from other sleevers has me totally psyched out. I need encouragement...PLEASE

I'm in Covington, GA. Any sleevers close to me???

Thank y'all so much for the encouragement. I will continue to use BariatricPal. I love this app and I love the positive input

Thank you

I'm disabled so I have Medicare and Medicaid. It has taken me a total of 14 months so far. I have Graves' disease so I had to have my thyroid removed last March. It has been a LONG time coming

I am in the same situation. I found out last Thursday that I've been approved. Now I am waiting to be scheduled. It seems like I've been waiting FOREVER

Can you chew gum or have mints??

I don't have a date yet...I'm doing all of my road map stuff...ugh

Definitely everything that you said...my son is a theatre major and where they perform...I DO NOT fit in those sits. They were made for skinny people. I am in the process of getting everything done.. I have my Phsyc appt tomorrow an my dietician the next week. So I'm looming at probably February.
