Just thought I’d post this pic to those who are on their way to surgery or have an upcoming date. This was part of my overnight bag! Hope it’s a motivation to my fellow sleevers! Congrats!! [emoji847]

Yes, these socks are the BEST! Great gifts too!!

Today is surgery day and I made it! With this process, there is definitely a sense of great accomplishment despite the gas pain of course and discomfort lol....let’s remind ourselves of the reason we are doing this....to create a balanced, healthy life full of mountains we are set to climb and conquer. Cheers and blessings to everyone waiting on their surgery date and to those who have just made it to the loser’s bench!!! WE GOT THIS!! #Warrior

Thank you!! That was very much needed!

You definitely can find them at Walmart!!

Thank you! And yes, this process can allow growth when we continue to focus on the greater picture. Congrats on your 10th month! All is well #WARRIOR Love that hashtag lol

Congrats on your January date....and the head hunger was the first step of the mental preparation that we will continue to need. Every time I looked at a plate one of my family members had, I just stopped to remind myself that we didn’t get this far for nothing. You got this and I’m happy for you! Sending blessings and prayers in advance!! [emoji2] #WARRIOR

Thank you so much! It was a little nerve-racking at first but the opinions of others are that of people who don’t truly understand the process. Knowledge is power!! [emoji5]

Thank you! That’s the purpose of supporting each other [emoji2]

Dec 7th here as well with an arrival time of 8am!Congrats to everyone. It’s a surreal feeling!!

With Aetna, I️ chose the 3 month multi-disciplinary regimen with my surgeon and nutritionist. I️ just couldn’t have a net gain during that time. They allow 15 business days to respond for approval but my precert was started 10/20 and got approved 11/1....so that was 8 business days. My surgery date is 12/7. Best of wishes to you all!!!

Congratulations! I️ felt the same way and having surgery 12/7. I️ was so excited that I️ screamed out loud while on the phone with my insurance rep. She probably thought I️ was crazy, but we both laughed lol

December 7th....at Lake Norman Regional Medical Center in Mooresville, NC. Sooooo excited! Congratulations to everyone!

Hey everyone! I'm hoping to receive my actual surgery date sometime next week but my surgeon says it should be in mid August. Being that I'm still in the pre-op phase, I've been wondering about vitamins for hair. I've watched so many YouTube videos on people that experienced hair loss as a side effect. Even though this doesn't happen for everyone, I would like to be proactive. Does anyone have suggestions for a good brand of hair vitamins to start beforehand JUST IN CASE??

Thank you! I will check out that link

I'm in the same boat, as I did my last weigh in appointment this past Monday. Like you, my packet was sent for approval and I'm DREADING these next two weeks for a response from insurance lol My surgeon said more than likely my surgery date is set for the middle of August. I'm glad we are all in this together. We all can support each other up here. Good luck to us all #LosersBench

Wow, reading all of these has me excited! I don't have a definite date as of yet because the submission for approval was just sent off today....BUT my surgeon said it will be sometime in mid August! [emoji41]
