My date is April 9th :-)

Clear liquids almost done for the day. Thinking I will go to bed early, since I am hungry and there is only so much liquid a girl can take. Tomorrow is the day. Excited, nervous and ready to go. No more fighting myself. Even with this weight I have lost, I know that without this surgery, as soon as I started to eat it would come back on.........just like it always had. So thankful they found this surgery. Good luck to all!!

Good luck tomorrow!

Sweet dreams! Tomorrow you will be on the other side of this journey. Next tuesday is my day!

Finally got my date today for RNY..... 5/12. The office could've scheduled me for 5/6 but didn't want to be in post-op so close to Mother's Day weekend so I opted of the Monday afterwards-- although no eating out dinner plans (will be on pre-op diet)

Still some time out till my surgery but I had already started working out (cardio/lt weight training) cause I want to get ahead of loose skin with rapid weight loss.

Just glad to finally have a date on calendar!!!! Congrats to the April folks

Good luck everyone. Cheering for you

Good luck to you guys I have 3 more weeks and the excitement is rapidly turning to butterflies. I am just ready to get it over at this point the whole 2 weeks of liquids before and after is enough to make me want to float but im sure it will be fine. All of you are strong and your stories keep me encouraged. I am a little nervous but im more afaid of what will happen if I dont change. Its time I spend some time taking care of me. Be blessed and speedy recoveries for those going this week.

I am in a small town called Howard. About 15 minutes from Mount Vernon.

Where are you having your surgery? I am having mine at Riverside in Columbus.

Had my sleeve done yesterday, such a smooth easy recovery so far

Great news! Did they have you up and walking yesterday?

Yes! The first time was awful, but now it's really not bad. I'm very nauseous from the anesthesia, but they've been giving me IV meds for it

That's great! You are handling things excellently!

That's awesome I'm glad your doing ok. Keep up the good recovery.

So apprently I've been holding myself up in this approval process from insurance. I was supposed to call insurance as part of the process, but in the midst of my anxiety and excitement I missed that part. I called them this morning and was told I'd have an answer within 48 hours. This waiting is consuming my every moment! Sheesh

Awesome!! Wishing you continued success as your recover from surgery and move another step forward on your journey, God bless!!!
