Hey Congratulations!! I'm the day after you.

You're welcome hun. When you start the process there is so much that you have to do and it will keep you so busy before you know it...BAM! It's surgery time. LOL

Thank you...No I'm not tracking my progress on IG but I do really like this site because I learn so much but I have seen post from others on here that track their progress on FB and IG so maybe do a search on the site. Keep me posted on your insurance outcome.

I think that you pretty much have to go through the the steps required by the insurance company and I don't think that there is no other way around it, the insurance company is forking out a lot of money for your surgery so they want to make sure that you are willing to put in the hard work that it takes now and after surgery to succeed. From my experience it does go by quickly and I know for me I needed that time to get my mind in the right direction and in the right place to prepare for surgery. Each insurance requirements are different also, mine required 4 months of supervised nutrionist visits and other test etc. I started in April and my surgery is scheduled for August 29th. When I was first told it would be 4 months I thought wow what a long process but now I am so glad that they required that because it gave me time to research, change my eating habits and to prepare myself mentally. You can do it! Keep us posted on your journey and I wish you the best!

Hi there...Congrats on your first step. Our stats are pretty close and all the feelings and emotions that you feel are absolutely normal, It actually took me 5 years to decide to start the process, I went for my 1st consultation 5 years ago and I thought I could just do it on my own but that did not happen, so I finally got sick and tired of being sick and tired and I started my process back in April 2018 and had to have 4 months of nutrionist visits, psych visit, lots of blood work and basically what most people on this site had to do but it does vary depending on your program/Doctor and each person...I am happy and excited to say that I am finally scheduled for surgery August 29th. To me it is so worth it and I have found so much information, tips, good people and a wealth of information on this very site. I try and log on daily if I can and read some posts, tips, make a comment and help others as people here have helped me. I have met some very kind folks here. Keep reading and asking questions, everyone here is always willing to inspire others. You made the first step so you will be fine. Feel free to message me anytime and whatever Info or encouragement that I can give you throughout your journey, I am here. I wish you the best!!

Congrats! I'm in Florida so no I haven't heard of him but like Marisol said, you will do great!! Mine is August 29th and I am excited too. Keep us posted. You got this buddy

I heard that Maderma is really good. My dermatologist reccommended it for a procedure I had but I never used it because my scar eventually faded. Research it and see what you think.

Looking good! Keep up the good work...

Congratulations! I feel the same as you, my surgery is August 29th. We will do fine

LOL...it's Marisol, then me and then you I found these sugar free powder mixes to add to water at walmart for $3.84...In case we cannot tolerate plain water after surgery or just to change it up a bit. They are really good. I'm picking up little things now but not too much.

Congratulations on your "100" lb weight loss...that is absolutely amazing. Hard work and dedication sure pays off

Congratulations!

She's on the 24th, I'm on the 29th and I think you are Sept 7th....we are all so close...this will be good...YESSS!!

You have to use a PC, when i tried on the app on my phone it did the same thing, even my profile photo.
