They are having me do the Covid Test next week before my surgery on the 18th. Has anyone else had it done? Is it horrible? Just trying to prepare myself [emoji21][emoji1787] Sent from my SM-G965U using BariatricPal mobile app

Almost 5 1/2 months out and down 77lbs! The first picture was taken the night before surgery... I'm thankful I have it for comparison. This Surgery has saved my life in so many ways. [emoji3059] Sent from my SM-G981U using BariatricPal mobile app

I'm about 2 1/2 months out and down 45 lbs.... I literally just went through my drawers last night and bagged up all of my big clothes. My T-Shirts are dresses now and my pants are practically falling down. I have been holding on to these bigger sizes for a few weeks now and finally told myself last night why the heck am I holding onto these. I haven't gone through my closet yet but dang I didn't realize how many clothes I had. I am choosing to give them away because I don't want to ever look back and be in size 1X-2X ever again. I am thankful I saved some smaller size clothing from years ago that I am able to go back to now and wear for a few months before I have to start buying smaller sizes (yay)!

I'm only two and a half months out but on my plan it states I can start introducing 100% whole wheat bread, brown rice/pasta etc after 3 months post op. Of course they state to get your protein and veggies in first always! Surgery is a tool to help us lose weight not deprive us of certain foods forever. I was allowed to introduce quinoa 1 month out and I tolerated it well. It was nice to add a little something different that wasn't just protein and veggies

Coming up to 1 month post op and I just have to say this has been such a great journey so far. I've lost about 25lbs and have hit my first stall. I'm staying off the scale for a few weeks and hope it'll pass soon . I have tolerated everything I've eaten so far which has been great. I hope everyone is doing well!

Joined the Losers bench this morning! I'm feeling well and everything went great. [emoji3059] Sent from my SM-G981U using BariatricPal mobile app

Good Luck tomorrow! Wishing you a safe surgery and fast recovery. My Surgery is on Wednesday so I'll be right behind you

That's awesome! So far I'm still on for surgery so I'm getting excited and nervous. Sent from my SM-G981U using BariatricPal mobile app

Received a call yesterday to go over information for my Surgery on July 22nd. I'm excited but also have a strong feeling it will be canceled again. She did state they are back to a day to day basis decision whether they can proceed with surgeries that day. Thanks California I have my preop video chat with the Doctor this Thursday and have my COVID/preop testing on Monday. I hope all goes according to plan but I am more mentally prepared this time to receive another cancellation. I am so happy and excited for everyone that has been able to proceed with your surgeries and hope to join you guys soon!

Just 30 days from today... Just praying no more hiccups when the time gets here. Our time will be here before we know it

My new date is July 22nd! My original date was May 18th but they canceled the day of my preop I was provided that date two months prior and they flew by. Here I am waiting another two months and hoping it fly's by again!

@Andrews2018 to answer your question I live in Fresno where the population is about 800-900K and we have 984 confirmed cases. We are definitely not getting worse around here. I know they are just being cautious.

@Andrews2018 yesterday they said that due to next week being the peak of the virus in California the Hospital is not allowing surgeries (unless it is an emergency) to make sure they have enough PPE. When I received the call today to reschedule for July they stated that my Doctor has not performed any surgeries in two months. I am just a bit frustrated they didn't relay any of this information sooner and literally called an hour before my preop. Well at least now I have two more months to better prepare myself.

My surgery was scheduled for May 18th and yesterday an hour before my preop appointment they called and canceled my surgery. I was very frustrated and upset. I just received a call and they rescheduled me for July 22nd. I'm really hoping this date sticks. I am happy for everyone that has received their new dates and are able to get their surgeries now.

I'm May 18th! It's so exciting that it is only two weeks away.

Hello Beautiful People! I finally received my surgery date 5/18!! Has anyone else been scheduled for May?

My Referral was finally sent to the Doctor's office and I made my appointment for my consultation! What should I expect going into this consultation? What are some questions I should ask or that you wished you had asked? 😄

Thank you for your reply! I did the seminar online and the next step is to meet with the surgeon at my consultation. I believe I meet with him briefly to discuss my options and for him to answer any questions that I have then I will go with the coordinator and schedule all of my preop requirements.

Did anyone watch last nights episode?? This lady is so delusional and just threw away a great opportunity of help for both her addiction and weight loss. I think if she didn't take her husband back in she would have tried harder.... maybe... who knows.... 😒

For sure and they do all sorts of testing and drugs will show up on the reports.

who knows! That really irritated me when she kept saying she deserved it. I'm like you didn't follow the guidelines that were given to you... so no you didn't deserve anything. How do you expect to be successful after the surgery if you refuse to follow the guidelines prior to surgery.

Hopefully she is sober and is really serious about what the doctor says. She kept claiming he was attacking her and she refused to actually listen to him and his advice. I'm not sure how successful she will actually be if she were to get the surgery. 🤨

Thank you for sharing all this information! I have to get a referral from my PCP first then I can schedule an appointment and get the ball rolling [emoji4] Sent from my SM-G965U using BariatricPal mobile app
