Hello, I'm about 2 months pre op and wondering is the anyone else on here that's in my city that's about to change their lives ...

Hey ladies' date=' I am about an hour west of Chicago. Just wanted to pop in and say Good Luck! I cant imagine my life any other way now. This was the best decision i ever made![/quote']

Thanks so very much ... I'm just anxious to get this done ... So far things have progressed pretty quickly ... Now it seems as if time has stalled !!!

I am 9.5 weeks post op. I am down 42 lbs since surgery. My first 5 days were rough but its been smooth sailing since. Time did fly them seemed to stopped but it will fly post op

Are you nervous

Lol... I hope so ... I'm just hoping that I can get scheduled in July but it seems doubtful because my 3rd class is scheduled June 18th so I'm thinking that my fourth class will also be in mid July ... Idk.. Maybe I'm over thinking...

Are you nervous

I'm not nervous YET... I'm sure that'll kick in once in given my date ...

Lol ... If you spot me flag me down ... A friendly face is alway welcome!

Let's see...my third class was on 2/19, but they require insurance pre-approval before they'll schedule the fourth one. Since my insurance company requires a 6 month wait, they didn't submit everything until around April 19th. (I had to stalk them on a daily basis to get them to submit everything right when my six months was up LOL!) Fortunately, my insurance company approved everything in a little over 24 hours, and I had a surgery date about 10 days later. (I called them every single day until I got one!) They scheduled class four at that time.

Don't be scared to call them if you feel like they're being slow or taking longer than necessary to move from one step to another. Laurie was great at helping me communicate with everyone; she seems to really care!

I need to try harder to get my Water in. I get busy and forget, or sometimes I just don't feel thirsty! It's really good you're already in the habit of drinking the shakes, because it seems like a lot of people struggle with that. It took me months to find one that didn't make me gag.

I hope the next few weeks go by quickly for you, and you get through the classes ASAP. I know how hard it is waiting!!! You're already on your journey. Just hang in there, and soon the waiting will all be a memory. Please let me know if you have any other questions at all. I'll be cheering you on as well!

How soon after your 3rd class did you get scheduled for the forth & even after the 4th ... How long did you have to wait for your date??? Sorry if I'm asking a lot of questions... I'm super curious. I was told to start drinking Protein shakes now. So I drink them once daily, usually in the AM. 8 days away from the surgery is super cool... I'm gonna be cheering you on! Just make sure you get your water in... I've lost weight only since I've been drinking the Protein Shakes... But when I went to see the nutritionist a couple weeks ago, I drank a Protein shake on my way there and by the time I got there I felt like my hands and feet were swollen .. So of course they said I gained weight... Bummer!

Thank you for the encouragement, BeBe! It's so wonderful hearing about people who've changed their lives!

I think it'll be exactly 6 months for me on 7/12 ... I think it's awesome that you had your surgery date before the last class ... I going to have to keep myself extra busy for the next 2 weeks because I actually have 3 appointments this month and each one is a week after the other ...
