Im going thru your feelings exactly, im only 22 and docs keep pushing me towards rny but im standing my ground and acting like i'm cool ad the other side of the pillow so get your game face on and walk tall towards the beginning of your brand new life

July 18th here! I was talking to my personal trainer yesterday and he was genuinely shocked when I told him that my surgery was in 23 days. He said, "It was 2 months ago last time we talked about it!" Time really does fly.

I have been going through all the requirements for months and last week I got the okay from my insurance company and received a surgery date from my surgeon. So many emotions and feelings. Excited' date=' anxious, frightened, happy, sad and all while being confident in my decision. Im not afraid of the discomfort or hard work ahead, but terrified of the worst case scenario's they keep telling me. Im a mother of two small children (2 and 4) and am so worried. I know everyone feels this way, but I don't want to back out from fear. Anyone else feeling like that or having surgery in July like me??? Would love to have some peeps to talk with along the way....[/quote']

I just went for my first consult yesterday and I am scheduled for surgery on July 31! I'm so excited. The only thing I am worried about is lab on July 11, my h1c has to be a 8 or below. I was diagnosed Type II in May and it was a 10. But since then I've lost 20 pounds and so my doctor counted that as my pre-op weight loss. YEAH!!

My surgery date is for July 7th. I'm on day 3 of my pre-op diet and sooooo hungry at time, but OK at other times. I'm excited and scared at the same time.

I'm brand new to this site, just signed up today. Hopefully I'll get some great feedback on my journey to a healthier me.

My surgery is scheduled for tomorrow. I have only had to wait since the beginning of June since my insurance won't cover the surgery and I am self paying. I have gone through every emotion you just stated. The only thing I feel confident about is my decision to do this.

My surgery is on July 2 and I'm also really nervous and excited. My husband and I are doing this together and his surgery is on June 28. I'm glad we're doing this together so we can support each other.

I have a July 11 surgery and totally understand. It's hard to think of anything else. I try to imagine all the good that can come from this - an opportunity to succeed where I haven't been able to in the past. As my daughter told me- "You're braver than you think you are." I have to think she's right!

I have a date also 7/10 and today is my first day of nothing but skim milk for 2 weeks!!!!! I did have some non fat yogurt in the morning as I do Water aerobics 5days a week and don't want to get weak during workout. Have you started your pre op diet? What do you get to have? Start of our weight loss and healthier numbers. Katie

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
