I had my surgery done on the 13th of March two days post op and I’m a bit sore but I’m getting their my 2week preop diet helped me lose 15lbs before surgery which made things simpler and had a successful surgery now it’s up to me to keep moving forward with losing the rest of the weight

thank u.so i chose april 2nd,have my exrays,ekg,blood work,& meeting w the dietitian on mon & then my EGD next fri.i start 1wk pre op liquids on the 26th.its getting real now.

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 to say it publically because I am still amazed...I Am Finally, One Year After Surgery, In ONDERLAND! - 198 lbs!
I have not been under 200lbs in over 20 yrs. I am excited and looking forward to this next phase of my fitness journey.

My surgeons office is fantastic. They email, they call, they are so respectful. Wish my cardiologist office staff could take notes. Cardiologist states he doesn't expect any issues but wants to have an echocardiogram and treadmill stress test prior to surgery. No worries, I get it. I ask if I am allowed to do them at the same time (working girl here and trying to limit as much time for the sake of office/boss as possible). He is kind and "oh of course you can do that." His staff argued and huffed at me and then put my test weeks out, and since then has refused to send me records to my surgeons office, even though they have told me they would fax. Staff told me he was not in the office the day of my tests and that is why they were not read the day of............wrong, he is greeted me with a hello as he was reviewing a chart between patients the day I was there. I see him again Monday for my follow up (and of course another copay), my records will be in my hand BEFORE I leave his exam room. Thank you, rant is over!

Got my insurance approval today! Submitted last Thursday and came back today! Surgery scheduled for April 2nd! Woohoo!!!

Everything came out perfect thanks to the lord.

Hello, I'm Tracy. I had the sleeve 5 days before my 46th birthday 2016. I'm glad I did this, only wish I would have done it years ago. I started out at 298 size 24/26, down to 173ish size 8/12, I'm 5'3" I have the best support system, my family and friend's are the best. They've always encouraged me through the whole process. I couldn't be happier with my life...NEVER going back. Thank you Lord, even though i had to pay out of pocket..I always say.. I'm blessed to be able to make the payments.
