I’ve seen bracelets on Etsy but what’s it for really?

I might be late but I just wanted to say good luck to everyone who is having surgery today! When ever you feel up to it keep us updated, we would all love to know what’s to come.

I hope you all don’t mind me asking if you guys are going to take before pics? I’m one of those annoying planner people so I’m documenting every step of my journey. I just wanted to see if anyone is a weirdo like me lol

@NewYorkStateofMind 41lbs! That is amazing. Don’t even for a second beat yourself up we’re only human ?

@Malcy and @Badwolf523 how is the pre op diet going for you two? I’ve heard that only the first or second day is hard then you just get used to it.

This is awesome it’s nice to know that I will have ppl to talk to through this crazy time.

I start the 15th. I’m also trying to start my vitamins but I’m unsure with exactly which to use, any suggestions

Our dates are really close how exciting. Are you ready for the pre op diet?

I'm super excited not really nervous at all yet I'm sure as the date gets closer and closer I will start to freak lol. TMI but my b-day is Aug. 27th and my date is the 30th so this is the best belated b-day gift EVER!

I just got my surgery date and I want to make some August surgery friends so we can share our ups and downs in the weight loss journey.

I went to seminar in March, my 1st Apt with my surgeon was in May I just finished with my last apt for approval and now I'm waiting on my date should be in August what a great birthday gift!

A few things on my list besides the basics include: extension cord, heating pad, crocks and my WLS binder

I had my first apt. on May 1st I was also overwhelmed by the huge list of to do's before I was approved for my surgery but I think it's pretty normal for bariatric doctors to have coordinators. The coord. In my doctors office did all the scheduling for me so and requested the medical necessity letter from my primary so all I had to do is show up to all the apts. and classes. Last week was my last apt. I already got approval from Ins. Company so now I'm just waiting on my date, she said it will be sometime in August. It's all really fast but I can't wait, I'm super excited! I hope this helps you, good luck.
