Hey all - haven't been here in quite some time! Had the surgery on March 4th and I am SO HAPPY! Down almost 30 lbs. since a week or so before the surgery. Getting used to what it feels like to be "full" BEFORE I feel like I have to throw up. It's a learning process but once you learn, it's heaven. Today I had a slice of deli chicken breast and a few bites of swiss cheese for lunch and it's such a great feeling.
I hope all of you have as positive an experience as I did. Absoutely no pain after the surgery; the only problems were gas in my upper chest the first night and nausea - both passed by the morning. Then, just dealing with the drain (just annoying) and very loose bowel movements.
Did I mention how happy I was? Not obsessing about food, life is so simple now. I used to spend my evenings stuffing my face am waiting for the person at the Chinese restaurant to ring my doorbell any day now to see if I'm still alive. Seriously, took out food from there 4-5 times a week LOL. Hope everyone doing well - keep in touch!

I just got a call from surgeons office, my revision is approved! They will be giving me a call to set up surgery date pending pre surgical clearances!
Such awesome news!

I would like to start with Victoria's Secret!

I was sleeved in October 26....and today...I truly hit onederland....and I cried with joy!!!

Its been a long time coming and a huge victory on my journey to reach one-derland and today it happened! I am 11 months out from surgery and down 123 lbs total. By far the best decision I ever made for myself! How has the surgery changed your life?

Wow what a detailed summary, I have BCBS NJ they approved me in 24 hours I did pretty much everything you had listed in your summary except my insurance did not require 2 year history of weight loss but did require 6 months of supervised weight loss I was doing WW so that counted and did another 3 months with nutritionist. My surgery date is March 7th what is yours?

I started at 214 on December 23, 2015 and tomorrow is my 2 month post-op and I'm down 39.6 pounds. Almost 40 pounds in 60 days!!! I'm so excited and am enjoying walking and no pain! This surgery has changed my life and my attitude. Good luck to everyone and it will come off. Take your time and enjoy yourself.

Gotta love my 140 lb. mom...when I told her I was having surgery she said, "I want to have it with you, how did you get approved?" Then she said, "I don't know why you think you need it, you look nice".
So I look nice at 312 lbs, and she needs wls at 140? No wonder I have weight issues.

March 7th very excited

Just wanted to share an update... Had my sleeve January 15th and now I'm officially 36lbs down!!! Yay!
