Any-who… I had my VSG April 2014, but I fell into depression, Stress. My husband cheated, so I gained my weight back. The exact amount I had before! I had a revision (Gastric Bypass) Nov 9th 2021...

Excited and nervous all at once!

Wow. That is a difference. As long as my approval goes through…I have only paid about $300 worth of copay’s

Got a surgery date of June 22 2022 !!! Who is with me ?!?!

Just finished pre-anesthesia testing. Blood was drawn, extensive confirmation of meds, instructions, etc.
it all tended to put me at ease and begin to be excited about all of this again.
Kudos to Wake Med in Cary, NC. I have been incredibly favorably impressed with every aspect of their approach and handling of my procedure.

It’s June !!!!!!!! This is our Month !!!!!!

Just wanted to drop a note of encouragement to the folks who are considering surgery, pre-surgery, in the early recovery stages. I had VSG on May 20, 2021 and started out 355 lbs. In a year, I'm down to 237.2. Life is so much easier, I have so much more stamina, and I'm so glad I had surgery and didn't get cold feet. Once I was out of the recovery phase it has been amazing how normal life feels, even if it's a new normal. I am wishing you the best and keep at it! ❤️
 

Finally! I start my 3 week liquid pre op today!

It’s June !!!!!!!! This is our Month !!!!!!

I’m at the hospital waiting to start my pre-anesthesia stuff. My surgery is one week from today.
I started full liquid eating plan yesterday.
Want to know what I’m most freaked out about? (Of course you do 😂) getting a negative COVID test on Monday afternoon. 😳
I teach in a middle school, our cases have increased from zero about 2 months ago to a couple dozen now. I’ve gone back to wearing a mask. 😷 I’ve never stopped keeping everything in my room scrupulously clean…I’m always cleaning desks, chairs, door handles and washing my hands.

I just found this website and I'm SO happy! I'm 55 years old, 5'7", 236#, BMI was 35 last month at my last appointment. Surgery just bumped up to June 17 from July 11. So scared/excited!

I'm 5"7 245#

Best of Luck!

My surgery was 4/13/22. I was SO scared and worried but YOU CAN DO THIS! I'm down 30 since surgery and a total of 45 since my initial visit with the surgeon. There are days when I struggle to eat without an upset tummy and days when I do so well! All in all, it is a lifestyle change but one that is a positive change. I'm already off my BP meds and hope to drop cholesterol medication next! Working on a healthier you is the best way to move yourself forward. I wish you ALL the best! Stay positive, ask questions, share your progress, and you'll do amazingly well!

Got a surgery date of June 22 2022 !!! Who is with me ?!?!

Just scheduled for June 10th. I was pretty surprised to be scheduled so quickly. But I’m excited and happy.

June 8. Just came from meeting with the surgeon.

I’m having gastric bypass on June 22nd! 🙌

I have my surgery scheduled for June 30!

Hi to you and the other June buddies!
I will find out my surgery date on Monday when I meet with my surgeon…I’m hoping for a date between June 8 and June 13.
My pre-procedure testing was extensive and has been finished for about 3 weeks. Cigna approved me this week. I’m having gastric bypass and hiatal hernia repair.
I’m 5’2”, and right now I’m 213lbs.
I started the liquid pre-op diet in earnest last Tuesday (the surgery coordinator said that of their patients like to start it early 🤷🏻‍♀️). I’m glad I started early because I have switched it up twice now and it has made it easy.
When I meet with the surgeon on Monday, I’ll find out the ‘protocol’ pre-surgery diet, and go from there.
Good luck to everyone AND May surgeries, please keep posting! Your stories are wonderfully encouraging and informative.
