Hello everyone. I have be lurking for a few months and am excited to make my first post. So my story is the same as many others with weight. However I started this process last month and have been cleared for surgery already. My date is the 26th of this month. Kinda scared me when it all went so fast as many stories here talk about months and even years of waiting. I feel I am ready and have as much knowledge about the procedure and lifestyle change coming. I guess I was expecting months of waiting and lots of time to ponder. Don't mean to sound arrogant or insensitive to those who do end up waiting a long time I just want to make sure there is nothing I have overlooked in all this.

Good luck. I hope it goes well for you.

I am STILL waiting for a date.... feeling nervous, hopeful, calm and scared all at once.

I too was approved and had surgery within about a month of my consult. I am now 2 weeks out and feeling great. Good luck to you! Don't second guess your luck, think of it as something that was destined to happen. Here's to the new you!

I went from waiting around for the past 8 months to all of the sudden my date was the following week. Trust me, any date will seem too soon! Just educate and prepare yourself as much as possible from now until then. And be sure to go into surgery with a positive outlook and positive thoughts, it made a world of difference for me. Good luck

Thanks for the positive comments. Counting down the days.

Good luck. U will soon be on the losing side

So happy for you. Like you my journey was quick met with surgeon on 2/10 and scheduled for surgery with approval less than 1 month later. We share a surgery date as well, I too will have surgery on March 26th and have today begun my 2-week post op diet. I kind of started experimenting with different products back in January (Medifast, Bariwise, WonderSlim, etc) just to get an idea of what products I did and did not like.

My thought on a quick process when everything lines up right and you fly through the process is that this is a door you are meant to open and a journey you have been given a chance at taking.

Good luck with your up coming surgery

Thanks and good luck with your surgery. I agree with you about doors being open.
