I was like that too. I started the process in July and was excited every step of the way...and then I got my surgery date and I was just "meh". I have to get the surgery, but I'm not so much as excited as I was previously about all this. My surgery is in 2 weeks and I still can't get pumped up about it. I'm not ready for surgery and feeling crappy.

I'm 2/15 as well, but for rny. I started this journey in July and I was excited every step of the way, but now I think I'm getting a little psyched out lol. I'm kind of excited, but scared at the same time. 2/15 will be here in no time!

Also curious about this. My back surgeon recommend I have wls to help with my back since surgery, injections, pt, and meds don't help. Having my surgery soon so we'll see Sent from my SCH-I545 using the BariatricPal App

I had my EGD today too and my surgery is 2/15. I've had an EGD before and was fine, but this time I felt like crap afterwards. Boo. Sent from my SCH-I545 using the BariatricPal App

O'keeffe's working hands cream. I've had dry, cracked skin that hurt for like 6 months and I tried this lotion and it fixed my skin literally over night. Sent from my SCH-I545 using the BariatricPal App

February 15th here! A day before my birthday lol

They mainly want to make sure you aren't suicidal, have any food disorders or substance abuse.. that kind of thing. My psych asked what I eat on a day to day basis, if I had support from other people, and my mental history. I have major depressive disorder and anxiety so she just got confirmation from my personal psych and I was cleared. Sent from my SCH-I545 using the BariatricPal App

Nope. The psych has been out on maternity leave so I haven't had that eval yet. I've done everything else so I should have the surgery by November. You? Sent from my SCH-I545 using the BariatricPal App

Hey there, I'm from Greenville, SC

Hey there. I'm 22yrs 5'5" and weigh 241 which puts my BMI right at 40. To qualify for surgery my BMI has to stay at 40. They're telling me I cannot lose weight and I should actually gain 1lb to be on the safe side, which is a bummer since I'm wanting to start a lot of these healthy habits before surgery but I'm scared to because I can't lose any weight. Once I get approved from insurance I suppose I'll have a month before surgery to start these habits. Better late than never I guess. Sent from my SCH-I545 using the BariatricPal App

I still haven't decide on which one I'm going for. Have 3 months to decide though I guess Sent from my SCH-I545 using the BariatricPal App

That's exciting! Which procedure did you decide on? Sent from my SCH-I545 using the BariatricPal App

I'm in Greenville, SC but I am just starting this whole process. Have 3 months of supervised dieting to make my insurance happy before I get a surgery date.

Hello! I'm just starting out on WLS too and I have Cigna. I spoke with the coordinator today and she told me since I'm 5'5 and 240 right now, that puts my BMI at 40 which is the bare minimum for surgery without having other conditions. She said since Cigna requires 3 months of supervised diet she told me not to lose any weight or I wouldn't be approved by Cigna. She told me to actually gain at least a pound to be on the safe side lol. From what I've read from others, if you use their physician they'll just prepare you for pre-op stuff at these visits and not so much make you lose weight.
