I'm scheduled for December 11th, my head is spinning just a little. I was originally scheduled for 12/23, but my surgeons office called me yesterday afternoon to move my procedure to 12/11....... I'm glad I won't be in the hospital over the holidays, but ever so slightly stressed.

Why hello there surgery twin 👯‍♀️. I’m ready for my surgery as well. I have an appointment tomorrow to sign my consents as well as get my report time. It’s allllll done. I haven’t made many preparations as far as clothing goes. food either, from what I understand your taste buds change. But good for you!!! Best of luck to you!

I'm going under next week for RNY but good luck to everyone lucky enough to get surgery before the new year

I lost 100 pounds in the first 6 months! Unbelievable, really. What I gained was also unbelievable - a whole new life! No shortness of breath with exercise, no asthma, no GERD, sleep apnea resolved, no joint pain, so much energy! Able to get down on the floor and GET UP AGAIN! Down 12 clothing sizes - WOW! Being one of the smaller people in the room instead of the biggest. The list goes on and on. It is a new world for me and I am so excited for you!

Hi All, I am having my surgery in 2 days (10/1/19) and just need to see some motivation to help me stop being so nervous. Can everyone just provide their first 6 month weight loss stats. Lbs down per month - month 1, 2, 3, etc...so I can be reminded of all the good things I have to look forward too! I am so excited but so scared and this simple thing will help me tremendously. Thanks!

Hi Jennifer ,
thank you for your encouragement . A few days ago I emailed the specialist nurse , with a question about the diet and got an email from her , where she’d attached a copy of the diet . I couldn’t open it , but then today managed to , and now Im really panicking because the paperwork I was given, says a few different things from the diet she sent me , and I’ve been doing it for 4 weeks !😖 I weighed myself today and have only lost 3kgs 😢I’m so worried they’ll cancel my surgery. After 2 cancellations, and 2 and a 1/2 years of work and waiting , if they cancel it again , I’ll feel like giving up. I hope you don’t mind me venting. I’m just so worried . I rang the hospital to ask if it’s likely they’ll cancel, but had to leave a message , and I’m still waiting to hear from them . Thank you for listening to me . 🤗x

Hi Jennifer . I really hope you aren’t kept waiting too long . I know what you mean , I had been going and collecting information I was asked to get , and they never even asked me for it .Yes , it’s SO frustrating , and when you’re told one thing is happening and it doesn’t , and you don’t even hear anything from them. They asked me to make a special appointment with the surgeon to discuss when my surgery would be done, a 2 day performance for me to get there , and he told me November 2018, and I never heard anymore . I probably wouldn’t have done by now if the dietician I saw hadn’t queried it ! Stick with it Jennifer , it will be worth it in the end . I’ll definitely keep you posted. I know it may be different in the UK to the
U.S. but it’s good to be able to compare notes!
Good luck
Peggy .

I should be hearing my date any day now, expecting an August one I’ve done everything required and had all the tests done. It’s been a 7 almost 8 month process for me. Trying to stay patient wish insurance didn’t take so long.
I’ve lost 45 lbs on my own so far pre surgery can already feel a difference health wise so I’m excited for the future loss the surgery will give me. I started at 296. We own horses and I want to ride my horses again as my kids have grown up and are working on their careers so the horses aren’t getting road by them anymore. It’s my turn again and I’m so looking forward to it but gotta lose this weight first. Good luck to you and hopefully I’ll be posting my date real soon!!!

As soon as I started the program which was 7 months ago I’m still waiting on insurance approval which I should get any time now. I’m interested in finding out how your able to get approval without going thru the 6 month process. It can’t be healthy for you to go thru this process so quickly without being monitored and instructed on what you should and shouldn’t be consuming. There is a lot to it and sounds to me they are just throwing it at you. I hope your successful but they should have prepared you better!!!

Don’t have my date scheduled for my surgery yet but I have lost 43 lbs pre surgery feeling great about that.
Today I took my first ((HOT)) shower without my bench buddy. Huge accomplishment for me as I have for years had problems with my blood pressure in the shower go up and me pass out. So I didn’t need the bench nor the cold Water. Feels great to be normal again!!!🤗🤗🤗🤗

Told today I have 4 more months till surgery will be scheduled. Wanting Bypass but Dr thinks I might have to have sleeve because I have a lot of scar tissue from previous surgeries😕
I’m walking 7,500-10,000 steps every day and working out with my hand weights and riding my stationary bike 5x a week.
I’m determined to get this weight off so I can ride my horses again, my right knee that I have had a lot of problems with already is ( starting ) to feel better. Maybe I won’t need a knee replacement after all🤔
