You look totally amazing! How much have you lost and in what time period?

I am so appreciative of these comments. I feel like no one arounds me understand and keep saying I’ll be fine. Like I know that but sometimes I just want to talk about my fears and feel comfortable in doing so. Again thanks for the awesome advice and words of encouragement, trust me it goes a long way.

That is awesome thank you so much for this. I’m not going to cancel or anything but it is nice to know that everyone doesn’t have a horrible experience.

I know and I know deep down inside I’ll be fine. Thank you so much for replying it is much appreciated.

I think I’ve been reading too many negative posts about WLS. And now I am having anxiety. I just need a little reassurance.
FEARS:
I won’t wake up after surgery
I won’t lose weight
I’ll have a lot of loose skin and look worse than I do now.
I’ll have some type of major issue after surgery.
I’ll be in excruciating pain.
I know these fears are normal and I know most of this stuff isn’t true I would just like to hear some positive stories.

Starting weight over 220 (not sure I wouldn’t get on a scale but estimate that) RNY July 2020, current weight 138. Wearing size small/medium and 6/8 bottoms. In the before I was wearing 18 shorts and XXL tops. I feel so amazing and so happy with the results!!

She called me Sunday to schedule my pre consents appointment for Thursday. I was so shocked she called me on a Sunday. I received my approval letter in the mail Monday. Might’ve been in there since Saturday but I don’t check my mail everyday, lol

They really do ! I cant wait to show my before and after pics lol

I am only 3mo post op and I saw the difference in my progress photos today and wanted to share - just my belly - I think it is 1 week post op vs 3 months. I am a slow loser, or more of a staller dropper (I have had a stall of at least 14 days all three months lol) so taking photos really helps me!

After what seems like a million years I finally got my approval!!! I am ecstatic and overjoyed! Now that it is really happening I can’t lie I am kind of nervous because I never had a surgery besides a c-section almost 20 years ago lol I am waiting to speak with the nurse so I can pick a date but I know it will be sometime in February omg!!!! Any helpful tips and tricks will be highly appreciated!

May of 2017 vs today.

Girl make sure you make the doctors office check. I called my insurance and they said they sent the approval. Soon after I got off the phone with them I called my doctors office and she was like no we haven’t received anything. I was like ummm can you double check because the insurance company said they sent the approval over in the morning. She was like I don’t think so but I’ll check again and low and behold it was there! She was like oh I just didn’t see the email right away. So glad I called and made her check so call and make them check!!

Just got my surgery date!! March 3rd!!

It was indeed easy. I woke up in recovery just looking around at the people who had the surgery done. Poor babies were in pain. I’m just waiting on my dr office to follow up with me on the procedure.

I feel your pain . It does seem like it takes forever but once you get your surgery date your like it really didn’t take that long. My paperwork was sent in on 12/23 I was approved on 1/5 but I called them almost every day after the first week.

They really do ! I cant wait to show my before and after pics lol
