I keep reading similar stories and I just feel like I'm so lucky to have the program in my area that I joined. It's completely comprehensive and they have most things in-house, or if not, they definitely send you somewhere. They even have a little store with Vitamins and shakes and low calorie stuff right there too.

I'm sorry you're having a rough time of it

Mine will pay for it. I just need to find someone that does it. It's driving me insane. I could use theirs but it'll be about $150 for the session. I might just have to suck it up and pay it.

I had a root canal today and I'm supposed to start my two week preop liquid diet tomorrow.. I'm on antibiotics for 10 days and my surgery is on the 28th.. Will the antibiotics mess with my surgery? I'm going to call tomorrow but now I'm worried I won't be able to have my surgery on the 28th.

I'll be in the same boat as you by the end of this month. All my stuff should be submitted in the beginning of June. I have my very last appointment May 31st. Hang in there. Mine should be st the end of August. That's what I want anyway.

Was anyone around 5'4 240lbs? How much weight did you lose and how long has it been since your surgery? What surgery did you have done? Just curious!

This is why I only tell people on a need to know basis. My mom and sisters know. My mom isn't very happy about it but keeps her comments to herself. After talking to my sisters, they're very encouraging and happy for me. I've always been bigger and even when I lose weight, I gain it right back and they know this.

I should be in September.. I going through my insurance and almost done all my pre op testing. I cannot wait!! I'm getting the sleeve as well [emoji16]

I've noticed a lot of people lose about 10lbs a month.. Seems like you're where you should be so far.

My Dr. Office just called me!! I was approved and surgery will be the 28th of August!!!!!

Awesome guys! I have my last appointment this Thursday then it'll be sent to my insurance for approval. I'm super excited but getting nervous!

Thanks!!! I'm super excited!

To hear if my insurance has approved me or not.. Ugh!

Waiting sucks, doesn't it? Ah! Good luck!

I am with you!! Hopefully, we won't have to wait too long.

That's awesome!! I hope I'm like that. I hear that the smaller you are the harder it is to lose and I'm definitely not small but not as big as some people start out. The more you have to lose, the fast you lose.

I am your exact metrics, female, 5’4 and 240. I just had surgery May 30th, I haven’t weighed myself yet cause hospital liquids and Water weight, etc. but I’ll keep ya updated! My surgery was the bypass,

I had my VGS on May 16th, I am 5'3 and my HW231-SW205-CW192. The first two weeks after surgery I had lost 13 pounds. I'm back to work and feeling great. You will not regret your decision, this is a lifetime change and I couldn't be more satisfied with my results.

I was sleeved on 2/9. My highest weight was 245. Maybe 235 at time of surgery. I'm about 3 months out and today weighed in at 183. I am 5'2.

Yes. January 15th. Has been great overall, except lately with my stall. But hoping to get out of it soon!
