  1. I’m late to this party but they had me change into a hospital gown and put on a cap. They put in an iv and took my blood pressure a few times. Then they rolled me down to the room for the procedure. We were talking and laughing and then they told me to bite down on the mouth guard. I remember nothing after that. They were saying “time to wake up” and I was confused. Had no idea they had done anything, lol. Oh and prior to getting into the hospital gown they made me do a pregnancy test. That was my experience, lol
  2. I’m having bypass on the 28th! It’s so good to have a surgery date twin! Best wishes!
  3. Bridgeport, Connecticut, Bypass, June 28th
  4. Oh you’re definitely doing surgery sooner than me. You are starting your liquid diet already. My pre-op appointment is June 12th and I believe I start my liquid diet that day or the next! Glad to have an approval buddy! Keep us posted about your date!
  5. Congrats! I was also approved on May 17th. My surgery date is set for June 28th! Hope you hear back soon about your actual date! ?

  12. You’ve got this, time is gonna fly by!
  13. How is your journey going? Hope all is well!
  14. I’m 5’7” and at my heaviest I was 321 but when I started my journey I was 309. My surgery date is 6/28/18. At the end of my 7 months of required nutrition visits I was 283. But then I got on birth control and ballooned up to 294. I was told not to worry about it because the liquid diet will take the weight off but it is very annoying ??‍♀️
  15. @skinnygirl04 congrats!
  16. I have seen it but my surgeon wants me to use isopure clear protein instead. I had a sample of the isopure and it was okay
  17. Thank you! And keep us posted about your date!!!
  18. Congrats! That is an awesome way of ending the month!
