You look AMAZING ! Your after picture made me smile because just the other day someone complimented my daughters big blue eyes and asked where she got them so which I replied UH ME!! I made some snarky comment mine being big too before I gained weight, So the difference in your big blue eyes made me smile, maybe mine will come back when my face thins too!

I have a Tespo on the way! My husband is terrible with pills so I thought that it might help him to get them in each day!

Welcome!

I hope you get answers and feel better ASAP!

I already can smell peoples breathe or BO from across a room its a huge pet peeve I am in big trouble lol

OMG YALL ARE SCARING ME LOL I am ready have "super smelling powers" as my seven year old says. I can't imagine what i'll be smelling after surgery.

Every recovery is different! I hope you feel better soon!

CONGRATULATIONS! I am counting down to July 9th! I am also having a ton of different emotions as it sinks in but most of all I am SO SO SO SO SO excited for all of us! No required pre-op diet other than the day before but I plan to continue eating as healthy as I have been through the last 6 months aside from a couple food funerals (LOL).

Good Luck! I've got 22 More days to go! I don't do social media so I can't follow you on IG but I wanted to wish you the best!

I've had all these thoughts too ... Meanwhile my husband (we're having it done together) is nonchalant as ever LOL ETA: I worded my reply wrong. I haven't had these same exact thoughts as you but ive gone through a similar cycle of emotions as I get closer. I have never thought about cancelling but it has been a jumble of excitement, fear, anxiety, happiness. 22 days seems so far and so close at the same time.

THIS! I have been through both types at different stages in life. BOTH are very beneficial for different reasons. But as the cliché goes you truly get out of it what you put into it. I really do wish you the best with everything! Sending Hugs!

Our Doctor doesn’t automatically remove the gallbladder but I do remember one of the consents last week being about the gallbladder and that if it looked like it needed to be removed they would remove it. Same with hiatal hernias. And another thing I can’t remember right now that if they see they will correct

We got our approvals! But looks like we may not be moving up to June as we’d hoped as there aren’t any dates with two slots available. They are looking into some things but looks like we will be staying with July 9th unless a miracle happens. Either way we are still thrilled to be approved!

My approval ended up taking 8 days and my husbands took 10. We both submitted on the same day. Good luck to you! Waiting for approval is so nerve wrecking!

Got our approval Thursday! Ended up taking 8 days with UHC Choice Plus

I finally got approved Thursday so did my husband. We were holding out hope that with a quick approval we could move up our date but it’s looking like there aren’t any available to keep us on the same day which is a must for us so July 9th it is!

My SIL basically lived on this during her full liquid phase

We are scheduled July 9th we got approval yesterday and were hoping to move our date closer but it doesn’t look like there are any dates open with two spots available. So we will have to wait

Did you get your approval?

Did you ever get your answer?

The gas x strips everyone talks about are impossible to find. I am guessing they are discontinued.

No Endoscopy or Sleep Study. We really had no testing at all just 6 months PCP visits, Nutritionist Visits, Psych Eval. Then sometime week afternext we have bloodwork and a chest xray.

If it is anything like mine you will watch a video or presentation with a group and it will have TONS of information. Then you will break up and see the Dr for individual questions. But they really didn't leave a lot to ask they pretty much covered everything.

It’s so interesting to see how different every surgeon is. We don’t have to do the 2 week preop diet. Our only requirement is liquid only the day before surgery and nothing the morning of.

I have 6 brothers 1 sister my sister and I are built identical my brothers are all in beach bod 6 pack type shape year around. The youngest was always such a little **** about our weight .... well guess what Karma brought him .... about 75 lbs. And I love every second of it lol I love him to death but mannnnnn it’s nice to see the tables turned
