I'm 31, gonna be 32 in June, and I'm hoping for my surgery end of May. I started my whole process back in September, but my insurance requires 6 months of nutrition phone call appointments. I have my final call this Wednesday so I'm going to get my surgery date as soon as insurance approves!

I’m hoping for a date the end of April so I can at least enjoy spring break with my children. I’m 27 years old and I’ve been up and down with my weight my whole life and I’m over it. I just want to have a healthy life for not only myself but my children also. So now I’m just playing the waiting game with my insurance company

I had to do 6 months of weight loss appointments it was stressful

Just set up my psych consult yay

Hi. It really depends on how you feel after surgery. My surgeon said that it’s 50/50 - those who have an easy experience and those who don’t. For me, I had an easy experience but week 3 hit me like a ton of bricks. I was beyond exhausted. You may find one week is not enough yet you are able to return before six weeks. It just depends on your outcome and how you do with diet progression.

So I'm down approximately 55lbs and I am finding that I'm swimming in my clothes. Honestly, I didn't loose the weight overnight, but it was just the last two days that I woke up and put on clothes and thought to myself... I feel like my shirt is a dress and my pants are a parachute. This is probably because I went back to work this week and I'm wearing clothes I haven't worn in 6 weeks. My work clothes are very very big now. I wonder also if this is why I haven't gotten much of a reaction from my coworkers. None of them have really commented on weight specifically, just that I look "good". They don't know why I was off the last six weeks, so "good" could mean "healthy" as well.
I just don't think I can muster up the courage to go try on new sizes. What if only *my* work clothes are too big. What if I go into a store and try on the next size down (from what my clothes are) and they don't fit. *GASP* I think I'd cry and never leave the dressing room. I do have A LOT of shirts in my closet that were too small from prior to surgery. I even have anxiety about trying those on right now. Does anyone have this problem?

I'm 26 I'll be 27 when I have surgery I'm in Maryland I'm trying to eliminate the bad stuff I'm hoping for a September date as well so let's keep up with each other I'm always willing to chat

I’m hoping for an August or September surgery date [emoji51] I’ll be done with all of my preops in June and hopefully see the surgeon in July. I’m 27 and so ready to lose this weight. I don’t want to yoyo diet anymore. [emoji1439]‍♀️

Hi saygrace my name is Audrey I’m 27 years old. I’m actually finished with all my appointments just waiting on my insurance approval now. It’s a scary long process but it’s so worth it. I actually got to work on the weight loss floor at my job and it’s amazing how some people are up walking straight after surgery. Maybe we can be buddies share each other’s journey

Ohio, 50 miles from Columbus where I'll have my surgery. I actually live in Mount Vernon, a city of just under 20,000 14 miles from Ohio' s Geographic,Center. Founded 1805, known for Dr Semple, a dentist who had the first US patent for chewing gum, Daniel Decatur Emmett, who wrote "Dixie". Paul Lynde the actor and Me. Ok I'm not quite as famous but I'm working on it. Figure I can be a star on Bariatric Pal if nowhere else.

I hope ur feeling better I am honestly in the stage of regretting the surgery, feeling nostalgic:/ I am sick of the liquids but that’s all my stomach can take :/!!!! I get full by 4 oz of Water it’s ridiculous

A little more invasive inside but we still end up with the 5 slits in our tummies just like you sleeved. They pull most of your stomach out and discard it, we keep ours so in theory we could be rejoined and put back to original but I've never heard of a single soul who had it done. One surgery is a-plenty in my book!

Hello, my name is Audrey and I'm still in my pre op stage. My insurance required me to do 5 months supervised dieting. Next week will be my 4 appointment. I'm really getting nervous. Maybe we can be each other's support.
