January 16 nervous and excited!????



Recommended Posts

After a long process, and being denied from my insurance company, I thought it would never happen for me. After thinking about it for a month I decided to do an appeal.

on Christmas when I went to get the mail at my place after spending the break with my family, I came home to the best letter. They approved the surgery. Yay!!!! I had everything all done that when I called the first of this month, my doctors office scheduled me for the 16th. Omg it's next week. I'm really nervous and I don't know many people who have had the surgery. I'm afraid I will forget the things I've learned. Nervous but def excited!

Congrats. You will be happy with your choice. I had the RNY on 10/15/12. N I lost a total of 67 lbs since then. At 1st I had buyers remorse, but when the weight started falling of. Now I'm happy as can be. I can't eat bread n breaded meats like shaken bake chicken, pork chops, etc.

U will be fine & figure out what you can and can't eat.

Congrats!! I too was scared and was 2nd guessing my decision. I waited and waited and followed all insurance instructions. I felt like after 6-7 months of preparing myself I still wasn't ready the day surgery came! But it was all nerves. I am so happy and everything has gone so well for me! No regrets! Good luck!

Yes that's kind of how I feel. I was going to bed thinking is this something I should follow through with. When I come on here and read all the postings and success stories I get excited again. I can't believe it's next week. Looking forward to the weight loss and my sleep apnea to improve or maybe even go away.

Congrats! My surgery was Dec 18 th. It is crazy how we all lose at different paces. I have lost 40 pounds last time I checked. It is hard not to compare and question yourself. I was so nervous, but I really didn't think the surgery or recovery was bad.

      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?
