After waiting patiently and nervously for 3 1/2 long weeks, I received a call today from my surgeon's secretary telling me that I've been approved for the Gastric Sleeve surgery yaaaaay!!!!! I'm so excited and nervous at the same!!!! My surgery is scheduled for June 24th!!! Please save a seat for me on the loser's bench!!!!!

Hello everyone!!!! My name is Nellie!!!! Although I'm new here I've been lurking for quite sometime.... I wanna thank everyone here for being so incredibly loving and supportive I truly feel welcomed... I don't have much support from family with my decision to have weightloss surgery... Everyone feels I should just go to the gym and starve myself to see results... I even got embarrassed by one of my co- workers today during a meeting.... She said incredibly loud and in front of everyone: Oh my god Nellie what happened???? You put on even more weight than when I saw u before!!!" Everyone turn around and stared at me as I hurried to take my seat in the back of the room... I didn't answer her I just kept it moving.....But I felt hurt and highly embarrassed... How can people be so mean???? And u no what she's heavy too!!!! I'm like seriously???? What hurt the most is that I'm such a loving caring person who judges no one!!!! I don't care if young, my senior, heavy, slim and I absolutely don't see color!!!! I give respect where respect due... If you love me, I love you too!!! If your kind to me, I'll be kind to you....and if you need me I'll always be there for you!!!!

You are so inspiring!!!!!! Congrats on your lost!!!! You look absolutely amazing!!!!

Wonderful!!!! On your way to the losers bench!!!! You can do this!!!

Same thing here!!!! Called today was told to call back next Thursday.... Trying to do things to keep my mind off of it...but it's not working!!!!

Omg!!!!! I'm scheduled for next month and I'm scared and nervous too!!!! Good luck to u!!!!! Wishing u a speedy recovery!!!!

Congratulations lorrie!!!!!! Just like u I started this process dec 2014 and had my last appointment may 4th.... I've tried every diet known to man and would only lose 5-7lbs... I've been overweight for many year and have yo- yo dieted for many years and have gotten no where.... I've regained every pound lost and decided that now is the time to take charge and do something about it... I have faith that everything will be wonderful!!!! Good luck!!!!! And keep in touch!!!!!

First they told me they should hand an answer in 1-2 weeks I called again today insurance still pending they told me they should have an answer by next week Thursday....I have healthplus amerigroup.... Trying to be extremely patient too....All we can do is wait I guess...(sigh!!!)
