Hi just had my scope done last Fri & don't have my date yet, waiting for ins approval. It's getting close & I'm pretty nervous... Feeling isolated in this journey. SO HAPPY I found this forum!!!!

Haha...actually, I meant April being close, but so far away. I actually live in Martinsville.

Amazing amount of weight you've lost! I can't wait!

You will love it! First night post-op sucks, but heck it still was way EASIER than childbirth!! Just use your pain pump! Oh.. and get some gasX strips or chewable. Other than that it's CAKE!

What vitamins do you take now? I haven't started taking any yet but a vitamin every now and then!

Hi' date=' I'm in central Indiana. I'm scheduled for April 18. Close, but seems so far away![/quote']

Hi I'm in NW IN & lucky you, you have a date!!! It will be here before you know it!! I'm still waiting for ins approval.

Navyma, you'll get it before you know it! Btw, I like your profile name! I was a Navy Mom, but my oldest is now out and in college. I'm now a Air force Momma to two active duty sons! Proud of my boys and all of what they do, as well as ALL the Armed Forces! Next time they see me, they won't recognize me! One deploys a few days after my surgery, and the other is deploying later in the year. I sure do MISS my fellas!

The vitamins I use are"Optisource" chewable (post bariatric surgery formula) take 4 times a day. One pill!! Has everything you need!! Sold at CVS or online.. Highly recommend for post-op!! Also "Premier" brand protein shakes.(chocolate). 30gm of protein and 2gm of carbs!! Best out there for the amt of protein and carbs.. Sold at both Sam's and Costco.
