I am April 11th

Hi there! I am having my surgery on April 23rd, I’m super excited [emoji2]

My surgery will be April 23 just looking for others who will be starting journey as well maybe we could support each other.....

You’re looking great! So happy for you!

It's crazy how fast these months went by! I'll be 4 months post op on the 11th! I'm amazed at how much better I feel in both general and also in working out. I'm a nursing student and I'm amazed that after my clinical day (11hrs on our feet) I still want to go to the gym to work out!
It's kind of weird that when I go around in my normal day, I still feel like I look like I'm 355lbs. I don't feel like I look smaller, when I buy clothes and see the smaller size and it actually fits, but I still feel just as fat, just in different sizes... But I can definitely see a difference in side by side pictures. I remember reading from post vsg patients having the same issue and now experiencing it myself is just weird. I try to do a side by side picture at least once a month so my brain can start to realize, I'm not as big as I was. I do love the energy though, and I know my brain will eventually catch up! How is everyone else doing? Post pictures, I love to see all the progress!
Hw: 355lbs (1/5/17) size 24/26, 3-4x
Surgery weight: 321lbs(12/11/17)
Cw: 263.5lbs (3/20/18) size 18, 2x

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?

I have pituitary tumor.
My doctor told me that 10% of all people may have pituitary tumor, but pituitary tumors are in different type such as PRL, GH, TSH, ACTH...that may cause different hormone disturbance. Some type of pituitary tumor is not allowed to do the surgery (which I believe is the ACTH one?), as you will start to lose weight by taking medicine to control hormone.
Mine was neither of the above types, it is just a tumor that is nonfunctional. I think you have to do a lot of blood tests to ensure which type of pituitary tumor you have.

I'm hoping for a April date... waiting on insurance

I finally get to see the surgeon for the first time this Thursday, 3/15/2018. Not sure what to expect! Hoping my surgery date is soon rather than later; self-pay so I don't have to wait for insurance. Not nervous. YET!

Hi.! And welcome! It has to be amazing to be going through this journey with one of the closest people too you. This is a great app, people here are so supportive, and it’s just great to know that we aren’t alone in this. We will definitely be going in around the same time! I’m really hoping for late April because my appointments fall on the 2nd of each month, but only time will tell. I have my psych appointment and my 4th of the 6 required appts. with my PCP next week...then I’ll be done until it’s time to get cardiac clearance in April..hopefully I’ll be able to have my things submitted for approval no later than April 6th...definitely want to be buddies[emoji4]

Hi Jaz, I’m also a newbie (first post actually) and just like you, I started my journey in November and also need the 6 months supervised weight log for my approval. I’m actually on this journey with my best friend, we have all our appointments together and if everything goes as planned, we will be having our surgery the same day some time in April! We just had our Nutritionist and Phycologist appointments this past week and they went great! Good luck and we can definitely buddy up.
