Congratulations!! You will do great! Keep a positive attitude and watch the pounds start falling off good luck!

Thank u so much! I've been struggling my whole life and I finally feel like there is a light at the end of the tunnel! Our journey Is just beginning and I know it won't be easy but it will be worth it! We're all going to do great! Now if these 2 weeks would just fly by that would be awesome ???œ

Yea, my name is Stephanie too. I did reply to your text on subutex, so I guess everything went OK with the Doc. I hope these two weeks pass fast too, especially the pro-op diet. I have to be on full liquids for a week, and then clear liquids 24hrs before the surgery. Not as bad as some I seen though. Good luck to everybody and I'm sure we will all be posting about how we are doing.

Yup everything went ok with me being on subutex... I'm just a little worried about coming off of it 48 hours before surgery...but I don't have a choice... I def don't won't the pain medicine to not work! This all is just a blessing for all of us! As much as I hate pictures I'll def take before photos!

Yes I hate pictures too. I did my before photo already though and posted it. Why do you have to come off your meds for 48 hrs?

I have Health America. I live in PA. This process just feels endless! I know it's a marathon, not a sprint, but I just want to get going with the rest if my life

I know it def does! I'm ready to start my life... I really didnt have many hoops to jump threw, just getting a lot of stuff together like the 2 yr weight history was a pain! And the letter from my psych was a nightmare to get but I got it... And you will too! You will do awesome! What are your pre requirements? If u don't mind me asking?

I am so excited for you!!! Hope everything goes as planned!!

Thank u miss... Have you had your surgery yet? I feel like my life is sort of coming together after everything I've been threw...
