Well after waiting 9 months I am finally scheduled for surgery! I will be having my sleeve surgery next Thursday, July 31st! I am so excited and nervous all at the same time.

My 9 months consisted of 6 months weight management, psych eval, gall bladder removal, cardiologist clearance, an initial denial from insurance, and an appeal process. It was an emotional roller coaster. But here I am! I am so excited to be starting the next phase of this journey! As of today, I have lost 27lbs. I am now on my 3rd day of the liquid diet. So far so good!

One thing that has kept me going through all of this is positivity. Staying positive and optimistic has truly helped me get through the rough parts. Everything happens for a reason! I truly believe this. Having a great support system is extremely helpful too! I want to say thank you to everyone on here! Our support system has meant the world to me!
