I cannot believe I'm so close after over 12 months of research and waiting for my insurance to mature I'm finally at the last leg of this race.
3 weeks today (Monday in Australia)
I've been through so much mentally recently and I'm proud of how far I've come.
I decided to start my own diet 6 weeks ago and I'm down now 46lbs.
I'm so excited to start the next leg of my journey and begin the next chapter of my life.
I'm looking at 80-90lbs to get below the 200lbs goal and hopefully end up around 185-195!!
Thank you all for your support and kind words.
(I've already had to buy some new clothes and feeling a little more confident every week)

Typing to you guys from the hospital. Had my surgery about 12 hours ago. I haven’t looked at my incisions but I’m told there are 6 and look good. I’m drinking Water And broth about t 4-6 oz/ hour. That does not make me full wondering if this is normal? I also barely feel pain. I didn’t have any gas issues at all.... all is good and II plan to go home tomorrow. Appreciate everyone who read and responded and those who IM-ed me. I guess I’lll go over to the post op thread, lol.

This morning the post op swelling in my abdomen has FINALLY taken a hike, but it appears that my boobs hitched a ride with it. I swear I dropped a full cup size in a week. That was a undesired side effect!

I’m feeling good. Pain is usually worse in the morning. After I get up and walk around a bit and take my meds it’s not so bad.

Just got confirmation my surgery will be Oct 21!

Hey decided to kick something off where everyone can share their piece and if it connects it happens!

WLS changes us so it’s easier to talk and build a relationship with someone going through it or has been through it

Yay. Isn’t it exciting? You have such a pretty face, wait until the rest of you feels just as healthy and bright. You’re going to feel amazing.
I got sleeved just last week. Tomorrow will be one week out. I had a good amount of pain and discomfort but I don’t care. I can’t wait to loose the weight. I feel hopeful again after feeling so helpless and hopeless for so long.
Good luck!

congrats! I just f/u with my provider to see if my ins has gotten back to them, Its been 2 weeks too long

Just got confirmation my surgery will be Oct 21!

Here's my progress so far. Long way to go, another 80lbs to go, however quite pleased with the results so far.

Phx here! Thank you so much. Hope all goes well with your surgery. Hope we can stay in touch!

Coming to the end of my 6 months supervised weight loss visits, per insurance requirement. Everything has been submitted to insurance for approval. Should have an answer in two weeks or so. If all goes well I am looking at the end of Oct for surgery. I would like to get to know any other sleevers or those who are on the journey to be sleeved. Needing a great support system/ friends during this journey. Feeling alone in this since I don't have the support from family at this time.
