Wow! I've been on my journey since February 2021. I'm so glad I now I have a date. I was denied by my insurance after 5 months of pre-op appointments so I'll be going to Mexico.

I'm the 18th and SUUUUUUPER excited!

Today is the day. Checked in waiting

My surgery is in 4 hours today too. Can’t sleep, so decided to get up and read and pray. Nervous, excited, anxious, sooooo many different emotions right now.

My surgery is today august 16. In three hours. Nervous but glad the day is here! Started working on this February 2021.

I had my surgery on August 2, 2021.

Good luck, see ya on the flip side. Mine is Aug 16. Give us updates please. ❤️

I’m 19th

Whooooooooo, well done to you. Please keep updates going. God willing this will be me next week. My surgery is next Thursday 😘

Well guys I’m officially on the losers bench ! Had surgery Thursday morning8/12, two nights in the hospital and now I’m headed home 😊

My date is August 18!!!

Hi, you are day b4 me. I. Having my pre op today, just waiting on bloods now, yikes

I am 8/16. Nervous. Hard time sticking to preop diet. Strayed 3 x so far. Told my Dr yesterday. He said just go back on. Make sure Clear Liquids day before surgery. Nothing after midnight. And that I will do fine. Good luck to everyone!

I literally posted about this a couple weeks ago. I was worried that with surging covid cases, they would shut down the elective surgeries again. My surgery was scheduled for tomorrow. This morning about 10 am, the nurses called me to give me instructions for pre-surgery. Then they called me at noon to tell me they were canceling me.

The worst part is that my husband lost his job, and I’m losing my insurance. This isn’t going to happen for me. I’m devastated. I’ve been crying since they told me. I don’t even know what I’m supposed to do now. I’ve been on liquids for a week. I just feel like.... I have jumped through every one of the hoops for this insurance. I waited months the first time the hospitals were shut down. Finally got a consult. Finally got a date. Made it to THE DAY BEFORE.... I just don’t even know.

Uuuggghhh...!!! My date is 8/26. I am so frickin worried it will get cancelled for covid. Today my surgeon's office called and asked if I wanted to go this Monday, the 16th, because they had a cancellation... and I CAN'T because of my job! I'm so sad I can't take the cancellation!

I can’t wait till I have the surgery. So ready to start my new life.
Had a horrible experience at work today. Had to put on a lab coat and overalls and they didn’t fit properly. Could barely move in them. Felt so embarrassed. Had the same thing a few weeks ago when trying the new uniform. They didn’t have my size so I had to try men’s sizes. So embarrassing and it looked horrible. I am so ready to never feel this way again.
I just finished week one of the pre-op diet my surgeon gave me. Just one more week. By this time next week I’ll be done. Can’t wait. 🤞🏻

Well am sad, my surgery was tomorrow but it got canceled [emoji20] because of Covid-19 pandemic..
Now I have to wait to be called in to continue...

Hi,
I am scheduled August 23, 2021 for gastric sleeve surgery.
I’m both scared and excited!
I had Lap Band surgery in 2009 and lost 80lbs. I felt great and I loved the way I looked.
A few months back I had the Lap Band removed and over the past several years I’ve put on 50lbs between not going to the gym during COVID-19 and the extra weight makes it difficult to get around.
However I was just reading the thread on what you are looking forward to most after your surgery and I must say I was very encouraged by what I read!

I just had my VGS on 8/2 🙌🏿

August 12th

I’m August 9th I’m sooooo excited!!!
