Documenting your progress
How are you all documenting your progress? I have one YouTube channel for makeup, beauty and planning, and made a second one for the VSG journey. I'm not sure if I want to use it or not. Also thinking of blogging. I have a line a day journal where you write a line a day of what your day was like so I could use that, but with videos you can see the changes, with blogging or journaling, you can write your thoughts and feelings. If I decide to make YouTube videos, I will probably just make the videos and wait to upload them until I'm at a better weight. What are you all doing? My surgery is June 27.

Average wait time to get sleeve?
I have BCBS Illinois and my first appointment was May 26. Since it was Memorial Day weekend, there was a slight delay, and the insurance didn't get the papers the first time my office faxed them in. But from day of first consultation appointment to surgery will be one month and one day. Surgery is scheduled for June 27. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

ABG test rant
So I went to get my preop blood work and EKG done today. Thy also told me I need an ABG (arterial blood gas) test. I freaked out at the unknown, naturally. It was the most painful experience I've ever had. The tech was supposed to draw blood from the artery in my wrist. Not the blue ones you can see, but they had to go digging. DIGGING. I passed out when she got deeper in my wrist looking for the vein. She never actually found it after trying and digging for a solid 10 minutes. She said that she wasn't able to get anything so she will tell the doctor. She said sometimes they don't need it, but if they do, they'll have to do it when I'm in the hospital for surgery. End rant.

Food funeral
Mmmmm. I've never had in-n-out before A food funeral is basically when you eat shit before the surgery. Well, maybe not shit, but stuff you won't be able to have after. A lot of people think that food funerals are bad, but I feel like they're good because you'll be less tempted to cheat Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
