My surgery is on 17 July. Live in the UK but am going to the Czech Republic for my surgery. Should be back home on the 25th. Excited doesn't even begin to cover how I feel!

Hi my last weigh in will be June 29th. They will send over all the insurance papers after my 5th visit June 1st. this way the insurance company will already have reviewed everything when they receive my last weigh in. My tentative surg. date will be July 14th. I'm getting both excited and nervous.

August is my anticipated date. Should know in the next week after my results are back in.

They offered me June 20th.
I told them to pencil me in. Now if my supervisor would get back to me on having the time off......geeeeez......how long does it really take to check the days off calendar and email me back!!!!??????!!!!
Yeah. I'm excited and anxious to confirm the date.

That is the reason I scheduled my surgery for June. I wanted to be able to focus on myself and not be worried about my students. Sent from my SM-G900P using the BariatricPal App

I just completed my pre op requirements today! Originally part of the insurance requirements was 10% weight loss, which I have worked hard to do over the last two months. Hit it on the head at the doctor"s office this morning. Then was told my insurance had changed it to 5%!! So now Ihave a cushion and can relax a little. My record is complete and will be submitted in the next few days. The wait for approval begins!
I am so giddy right now, just to have made it this far! Thank you for all your posts, and I hope to be scheduled in June!

Well, I had originally thought my surgery would be May 13th, but I have pushed it up to June 20th. I want to wait until school is out and I can focus on myself for the summer. That is something that I am dealing with,because I have never made myself a priority, Anyone else having a hard time with that? :-)

Am I the only one left that don't have a Facebook account??? ????

So I have recently gotten under 250 and tonight I had a NSV that I've just got to share. I'm a high school teacher and volunteered to work at prom this Saturday. I decided that I wanted something new to wear. My sis and I went dress shopping and the dress I ended up with is a size 16W. I know it's a women's size 16 but a 16 none the less. I haven't worn a 16 in years. So happy! .

I was recently having a discussion with a Personal Trainer (PT) mate of mine.
He was asking me about the changes I'd noticed with my body since losing my 230 lbs (so far)..
I told him about my 'deflated balloon belly'...
He laughed...
I told him about the 'bat-flaps' of skin under my upper arms that slap against me sometimes when I move...
He laughed...
I told him about my two sizes smaller feet...
He laughed..
The I told him about what was REALLY p*ssing me off...
My 'turkey neck'...
You see, I had a great big bullfrog type head...
Neck really...
I was one puffed-up-canetoad lookin' dude...
I mean, have a look at this -
As you can see, I've kept the beard in an effort to cover up the under-chin carry on...
Actually, that pic on the right was in October last year, so I've lost a little more from there now...
I'm in a new job now, so I'm decidedly more 'neat and tidy'..
Anyway, back to the 'roid cream thing...
My PT mate was telling me that a lot of the female body builders he knows use the 'roid cream to smooth their bits (no, not THOSE bits) when it comes to comp time...
He reckoned that if I grab a tube or two and have a crack at applying it regularly, it may just smooth and tighten my biggest uncovered embarrassment...
So, here's the sh*t -
Beginning Monday, I'll be applying the Doot Cream twice a day...
It'll be post shower in the morning and evening...
Over the weekend, I'll try to take a decent pic of the affected area...
If I can do so, I'll post it on Monday, then each Monday after I'll post updated pics to see if there's any difference...
I'll also be trying some 'neck yoga sh*t' that I just stumbled on when I googled "wobbly neck skin"...
I hope to be able to shave the beard off (or some of it) by my birthday in July (18th for all those planning gifts)...
So, if anyone is interested, stay tuned and we'll see how we go...
Of course, if anyone has already tried this, please feel free to chime in and let me know how you went...
Thanx for reading all the way to the end...
Assuming you did...
