Hello Simpley_ke! I started first by talking to my immediate family first. Family are usually your worst critics. The only negative thing I received was with one of my sisters. She was not educated enough on wls. I had to explain it to her and how the procedure is done. My whole family supports me. My other sister is now considering having it done.

I've learned to have thick skin and can careless about peoples opinions. Lol

I have told a few family members and a classmate and my boyfriend , they have all been very supportive !!

I finished all my pre-ops appointments. I had followed up with my surgeons office an I had to contact my pcp's office to sent over my file and my letter if recommendation. They were sending that as of yesterday. So were also waiting for the results of my psych eval. I hope that gets to them by early next week so that they can send everything in to the insurance for approval.

That's the next thing I have to do as well , I hope the insurance company doesn't take to long to approve !! Do you have a surgery month in mind?

In a perfect world, I would like to go out in early November to have my surgery and then return back to work on 12/31. Lol. That would be just perfect. Lol

That makes so much since ,, I would love to go around Christmas because I am in school and that's my longest break !!

I got my approval and date. I'm getting sleeved on 11/1 at Presbyterian Hospital in Charlotte.

My surgeon has his patients to start their pre-op diet right away after we see the nutritionist. We eat lean meats, fruits, veggies. We can have oatmeal too. But we don't do any liquid diet. We start our liquids right after surgery.
