Thank you for sharing, Blossom's Fast Track program seems like a great choice. I am looking forward to next week and a safe (and quick) recovery. I am scheduled with Matt A as well.
Also, congrats on surgery and I look forward to joining you on the loser's bench very soon!

Sounds like Blossom has the process down. Thank you so much for sharing your experience. I am looking forward to next Thursday (Happy Valentine's Day to Me LOL) Your review makes me feel 100 times better. I am planning on going back to work Monday so hopefully I will have a smooth of a recovery as you two!
Can't wait to join you on the loser's bench.

i went to Blossom as well and they were great. I paid the amount I was quoted before surgery. Some of the tests/procedures were billed to my insurance but what I was quoted I paid. Very professional and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Good luck!

This is what I was given, they said it was full of electrolytes to help dehydration after surgery. I think they also said it may prevent hunger after surgery. It was my choice whether to drink or not, i did drink whether it helped or not who knows!

Okay so I had a session with my therapist tonite (great timing with this stall) and I’m going to use a non-scale victory over the next few weeks.
I have a pair of pants that I really want to wear and currently I can pull them over my hips but cannot zip or button them.
When I can put them on and sit comfortably in them, I’m allowing myself to get back on the scale.
Until then, I will refuse to weigh

The first 24 hours are the worst! Hold on and keep your chin up every hour will feel better. You got this!

That was a rough time. The surgery went text book according to the surgeon but I woke up with the worst nausea. I was vomiting (air) for about 6 hours post op. They gave me several types of meds to help but told me the more I rest the better I'll feel. They kept me on medication for nausea and pain until about 10-11 the next day. Then I was able to get up and walk around. Did laps and then would fall back asleep. I'm so much better feeling today. Anyone who tries to say this is the "easy" way has lost their minds. definitely harder than I expected.

I did it. I got my sleeve on 2/15!

I can confirm that my weight is dropping off!

Y’all. In my desperation to find something other than a shake to supplement Protein, I ordered this. Tried it today with 8 oz of Fairlife milk and IT IS AWESOME. The packet has 15g of protein. The Fairlife milk has 12g. 27g total in an 8oz mug of yummy hot cocoa just cannot be beat. Just wanted to share for those if you who are sick to death of the monotony of Protein Shakes.

A friend had her sleeve with him last year. She seems happy with her experience and has had amazing results.

Thank you for the feedback I am glad to hear everything went well. I wish you continued success in your recovery.

Glad you are feeling better. How was your experience at Blossom?

WHL - sorry to hear that, I know it can be frustrating when you are planning on it happening and then things change. Virtual hug 🤗

Good luck! Wishing you safe travels and much success. Can’t wait to hear about your experience.

I’M APPROVED!

I had to take off my wedding rings and bought silicone ones a size smaller. I bought boots that actually go up my calves.

I "officially" no longer feel like I have to go through a lot, I too have BCBS but my list is not as extensive. It looks like you have done a great job and made it through it all. Congrats!

Just starting here as well. My first appointment was 4/11. I have to do the 6 month nutritionist visits and all of the test that people have mentioned. Nervous but excited. I appreciate all of the advice like finding a Protein Shake now. I haven't told anyone other than my husband. Estimating surgery by the end of the year. So far I have met with the nutritionist 4/18 and yesterday had the psych eval which she said she was clearing me for surgery.
Thank you for starting this, I look forward to going through this process together!

I had surgery on Wednesday and was back at work Monday. I was a little tired and still sore but not too bad.
