I finally have my July 2nd Surgery date! Went to my preop/nutrition class yesterday then came home and ordered my 2oz plastic cups with lids so that I can meal plan ahead. =) I've been on this journey for the past 2 years and can't believe it's finally time! I guess the main thing I am worried about post op is acid reflux. I've been having a ton of it the past 2 wks. My surgeon is Dr Baggs in Richmond Kaiser from what I hear he's the best of the best!

I am Kaiser too, but in Denver. I'm waiting for my date, have my pre-op on Tuesday.My surgery will be around the week of the 16th. I am just finishing my classes, and have been in the line for almost exactly a year. I've already got my 2oz cups and just finished shopping for my 3 day fast and my first week post-op. I'm really ready to get this done, and feel great about Kaiser and my care. Everyone has been really kind and sensible.

You have every right to have ALL the mixed emotions. This is my 3rd time to

Go through the approval process. Each time I found a 'reason' not to proceed. Very unsupported family members helped changed my mind. (they do not know about the surgery this time) I Was approved in 2008 for bypass' date=' (thankful now I didnt do the bypass) I know this is what I want, I still struggle everyday. I just think everyday how much this will improve my health and how I want to live healthier for the rest of my remaining life.[/quote']

I also have family who would not support me if I told them I was having WLS they would try real hard to talk me out of it so I just never told them and after all is said and done I'm still not telling them

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
