If you don't mind me asking what was your starting weight?

Wow that's great! Congrats!!

Just had surgery today and My actual surgery time (not incurring prep and recovery was @ 40 mins. With prep and recovery 2 1/2 hours.

Just got sleeved this morning. Experiencing some discomfort with gas and soreness in general. But I'm truly humbled and blessed. I look at this as a new opportunity to get me right...my rebirth!????. Best wishes to all!

Thank you so much!!!

Excited and yet oh so nervous! Hope I can sleep tonight. Prayers and positive vibes please.

You look great!! My surgery is tomorrow, what's your key to success?

Did you lift weights more so than cardio in order to achieve your results?

I hear various stories about how long the procedure takes and I understand it's different for every person and every surgeon. If you don't mind sharing, how long did your procedure take?

I'm excited too. My surgery is Monday!!!

Thanks

Chuck, did you do a preop diet? If so what did in entail?

I am 5'8 235 pounds. I'm excited and nervous all at the same time. I'm concerned about having extra skin.

Mine is December 7th. Excited and nervous all at the same time.

Congrats!!

I am schedule for December 7th so we can support each other through this journey!

Hi everyone!!! I am officially scheduled for December 7th and I am super excited!!! I will go this Friday to the hospital for preop blood work and then report to the hospital on Monday morning!!

Keep up the great job!!!! ????

I have a BMI of 35 and was recently approved by Aetna. I also have high blood pressure that is controlled with meds but no other conditions.

Thanks. Aetna has a 15 day window, but it only took Aetna 4 business days to approve it.

I am super excited. I was notified by the doctor today that Aetna approved me for the sleeve and will be able to schedule my surgery on Monday morning!!! Wooohooo!!

Hi Everyone, My Dr. Submitted everything to Aetna on Thursday. I spoke with Aetna on Friday and they confirmed they received everything. Per Aetna they have a two week turn around time. Has anyone with Aetna had them take that long?

You look great!

Any advice on how to avoid having extra skin when losing the weight? Are you taking any collagen supplements or anything to help the elasticity in your skin?

You look great. This is inspiring!!!
