    I agree!!! I have lost 70 pounds so far. Everyone says I look great and can tell that I've lost weight, but I do not personally feel it. I can tell some by the way my clothes fit and when I catch my self in the mirror I am doing a double take. I still feel fat though. I'm sure it will take a while to get used to the new me.

    Hey, I'm Greg from Illinois side. I'm awaiting for approval from insurance company. Have completed all the pre recommendations prior to being submitted to insurance. I have BCBS/IL insurance, was curious if anyone had any issues with delay of insurance approval ? My surgeon is Dr. Ricks, seems very down to earth. Has anyone else have an EGD Scope done prior ? Apparently, once surgery is approved I will need to go on a 14day clear liquid diet, cause of my BMI being at 63. Curious, if anyone has gone through same thing ? Have been a paramedic for 26 years and am ready to save myself now. Anyone, who has any advice or recommendations don't hesitate to send me a message. Thanks

    Hi Greg! I have BCBS of IL and the approval process was pretty fast. It was less than 2 weeks. I was impressed. Good luck on your journey!

    I haven't been to one either. I was thinking about going to one in January, but I hate new social situations...lol. I'm getting better though, more confident. Glad to meet people who are with Dr. Ricks though. This is my second surgery with him, he did a double hernia repair for me last year and he was so amazing that it really made me rethink my years of swearing I'd never have WLS. It looks like you had your procedure about 3 weeks before I did. Hope everything is going well.

    I don't mind at all! I don't know how to add you or I would lol I have not been to one yet, but I really should go to one!

    Yeah he really is amazing! I'm doing good so far, I'm down 57 pounds. Pretty exciting. I was thinking about going in January too. It'd be nice to hear other people's experiences. I have a hard time getting the daily amount of Protein, but I'm trying. And I had to switch to the Vitamin Patches because I got tired of the chewable and got sick with the pills. How is it going for you?

    My surgery is scheduled for October 5th. I only have a 3 day pre op liquid diet. Kinda makes me nervous. It seems like every one else I've read has 1 to 2 weeks of it.

    I'm scheduled for October 5 also. I only have to do one day liquid diet. I don't know what determines how long. Makes me a little nervous too, I'm afraid to eat.

    It makes me nervous too! But it's nice to know I'm not the only one!
