I'm in the same boat! It's funny how excited I am for this. It's like waiting for a wedding or something. I've found prepping my house and keeping busy keeps my mind off of it-- I already have my hospital bag packed! Ha. Good luck to you!

Hang in there both of you! I know it's hard - I can tell you for a fact that once you get your surgery date - the time FLIES by. I did all the same stuff that you are talking about - my hospital bag has been packed for months! I bought all my supplies for pre-op and post op. I'm two weeks out now (surgery on August 6th) and I'll tell you that now it seems like it was here before I knew it. The worst part is waiting for the surgery date, the enthusiasm is hard to contain! But it will happen...

I'm also sooo anxious and have never wanted anything so bad, I feel like I have researched over and over again. I am beyond ready for this. I have my endoscopy tomorrow, one more nutrition apt, then I get my date! It seems so far away but worth the wait I'm sure

Don't laugh! I have in my hospital bag - gas-x strips, chapstick, nightgown, underwear, and a heating pad! Pre-op I ordered lots of samples from different sights for the different types of Protein Shakes and that's what I'm using now on my pre-op diet to figure out which one's I like. I tell you some of them are really good and some of them are just absolutely gross! I've bought small containers, Bento boxes, a small microwave steamer, baby spoons and forks, tiny little fancy bowls and plates to make my miniscule little meals look special......Ha!!

I've got my surgery date (Aug. 26). But, it is contingent upon weather or not my insurance approves me. My bariatric team tried forwarding the info to my insurance on friday. The wait is killing me. My insurance is Iron Clad Insurance through the Boston Iron Workers Union. On the front of my card it says Iron Clad Insurance, Carelink PPO, Tufts Allied Care and Cigna. The bariatric team was having a hard time figuring out who to submit the info to. But it is my understanding that as of Monday it was officially submitted and received. I am wondering how long it's gonna take for the approval. I don't know anyone that has had wls that has my insurance. Well I am getting towards my 10,000 steps per day with all this pacing back and forth.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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
