  1. Trust the process, it gets so much easier! Just take it one day at a time, I’m 10 days post op and everyday has been easier than the last. In regards to the protein I’m still struggling as well but I try to drink a little more than the day before and I’m almost up to the 60 gs I’m supposed to get daily.
  2. I had surgery April 25th as well and the walking has definitely helped.
  3. Surgery day is finally here! I’ll be having surgery tomorrow along with my best friend, can’t wait to start this new chapter in our lives!!!
  4. Yayy!!! Twinnnn!!! So excited for you! Sounds good, I’m on my 2nd day since I only had to do it for 1 week and so far I haven’t had issues with it.
  5. Thank you!!! Hope you keep us updated on your journey as well!
  6. Hi everyone, so I’m officially approved for surgery!!! I received the call this morning, I’m scheduled for surgery April 25th! What do you guys recommend I bring with me to the hospital?!
  7. Omg so nerves, did you here anything? I didn’t get a call Friday and I don’t know if I should call them on Monday for an update, I don’t want to be annoying.

  9. This video made me smile, you guys are sooo cute! Hope the surgery went well!! Keep us updated!
  10. I haven’t really read any forums with people getting denied, but my insurance said I should be fine not to worry. They also require a BMI of 40 but with 6 consecutive weigh-ins
  11. Thank you!!! Well I’m losing sleep over this! I just want Friday to get here already
  12. Hi everyone, so I just got off the phone with the insurance representative at my doctors office and today was my last weight in, she is getting my paperwork to submit the approval request for my sleeve surgery as we speak!! She states I should know by Friday!!! I’m so nervous. This week is definitely going to feel sooooo long.
  13. I know! Me too! I’m so excited!

  17. Hey guys so I’m curious as to how the approval process goes with Oxford, my tentative date for surgery is coming up and I’m getting a little nervous about officially being approved for surgery! Hopefully my date won’t change and everything will be smooth sailing. Please let me know about your experience with insurance approvals! Have a great day!
  18. Good luck with everything!!!
  19. Thank you so much for your reply! Appreciate the information
  20. So I had an upper endoscopy done on Friday and everything went will which means I am that much closer to finally having my surgery!! April 25th can’t get here any sooner!! So excited and anxious and nervous and just a little overwhelmed. Who else is having surgery in April?
  21. I have a question for the people that are post op, were any of you diagnosed with a pituitary tumor prior to surgery and if so, has it affected your weight loss journey in any way?
