Hello everyone,I'm a married mom of 4. I'm 260 pounds 5'7. Dealing with weight issues since I was 18. I started my journey on 7/28 when I went in for my initial consult and was told I was a good candidate for wls. My bmi is 40.5. So process started, I went through psych eval, support group, endoscopy, sleep study, exercise classes, blood work, nutrition appt. All of these appointments done by end of August. On 9/1 was my follow up appointment to make sure all of my criteria has been met. Everything was met, and they said next step would be them calling with a date. On 9/5, I'm scheduled for surgery on 9/25 (now I'm panicking, and nervous) on 9/7 I meet the doctor for a presurgery visit, it was going over what to expect pre/post. On 9/11 I have to go to hospital for preop EKG, and blood work, a long with my $500 copay I have bcbswny. Also I start my 2 week liver reduction diet. On 9/12 I go to primary to get medical clearance. Then it's just a waiting game until 9/25 @1pm. I'm excited, anxious, and nervous all at the same time. Anyone have any suggestions for pre surgery jitters would be great. Congratulations to everyone, especially the nsv I've been reading about

Thanks for sharing! (Love the handle by the way)
I am in the same boat as you, 4 weeks post op on Thursday. And how about we have the same surgery date. Cool!
You are the 2nd person to mention a Power Crunch bar.
Going to have to check those out.

Thank you! You look amazing!!!! Congratulations [emoji2]
Definitely an inspiration [emoji173]️

I had those same thoughts even without them canceling on me. I think a lot of us do. Especially with some success on the preop diet. It's not even just losing the weight, it's keeping it off. I hope they reschedule soon but you definitely sound like you're developing a good attitude. Stay positive, it'll happen.

Yes you're sooo right everything you just said I'm feeling. You are so right and thank you

Wow Di, you look so amazing! I love love love that blue n white dress!
I know it has been a lot of work, especially emotional and all, but you are owning it all.

WOW, You look Awesome. Thank you for posting pics. I really needed some inspiration today. I have one more supervised diet visit this month before my paperwork is sent to insurance for approval. I also need to lose a few more pounds before then. Your pictures just gave me the motivation I needed to stick with my pre-pre op diet.
