WeGettingThere

You're lying! You're so lucky.

I feel you 100%. I live alone so I'm already asking my friends to come up with "shifts" to watch me. Even my SO is like "wait until you schedule your surgery before you start freaking out" Leave me alone!

Yes! I'm all about the Youtubers right now.

I hope my process is as easy as yours was. I think after my final weight management class they will start scheduling me for tests.

UGH! I'm dyinggggg. I've been researching non stop.

Congrats!

I freaking hope so man! Let's do it. CUT ME OPEN ALREADY!

"esophagogastroduodenoscopy" - What a fun word to say! My insurance requires 3 months of weight classes and a psych eval. Hope I can get my sleeve during spring break

That's what I'm talking about! Fight the power! lol. Nah but seriously, good for you. I get discouraged so easily. I would have been moping around.

12 months of supervised dieting sounds like a whole lot. I feel like they try everything so we don't get the surgery. Once we complete whatever they need and they see we are serious, they're like "Oh I guess you really want this. Okay here you go."

I have a year of document attempts too! I hope you're good to go!

My insurance requires that I attend 3 monthly weight management classes. I have 1 more to go. Did you all have to do weight management classes? What happened after you finished?

Wow, 10 months. Im getting nervous lol

OHHH. Thank you Kim.

Hey All! I wanna know how long it took all of you to get your surgeries. I'm talking like FIRST doctors appointment to OPERATING ROOM. Also, what insurance do you guys have?

My nutritionist told us not to get gummies. She said "If it looks like candy, and sounds like candy, ITS CANDY."

Thank you!

Woah... Thanks everyone. I never thought about my goal weight until I saw the question on the page. Now I can't get it outta my head!

Whoop, there it is! Thank you so much for being helpful!

Thanks for the feedback. Maybe I should start out that way. Just like school. Expect a C, rejoice when you get a B+

Listen guys, I knew I wanted this surgery for a long time. I know I want to lose weight so that I'm not diabetic anymore. I went to my second weight management class last week and filled out some paperwork. One of the questions asked what our goal weight was. I have no freaking clue! I'm about to be 22, and I'm a 5 foot 2 female. I weigh 205 pounds now. No clue what I would be happy with? How did you all decide your goal weight? Did you let your doctor decide for you? Thanks

I just had my second weight management class! Looking for friends who might get their surgeries in the spring! I'm new here. I live in the Bronx, but any friends would be accepted lol
