September surgery



Recommended Posts

I am so bummed! Found out that once my insurance is approved (probably the first week in Sept) that the surgeons here are scheduling 6-8 weeks out! So that means I will likely have my surgery closer to NOVEMBER! Ugh - I am so ready to do this NOW. I had no idea it would take that long once I did my part. Now what do I do? I had everything ready, my Protein Shakes, my Vitamins, my blender, my head wrapped around all of this, support lined up, I'm all psyched ... now having to put all my emotions on hold just seems like torture!

Sorry to hear that!! It's so frustrating! I had my approval from insurance in March, but had to wait until July for various personal reasons (work mostly). But, it went by so fast! Hang in there! It'll be here before you know it ;-)

Hello! How is everyone doing? My surgery is September 2nd and I started the liquid diet today. I've done one shake, and I'm pretty terrified of turning into a huge cranky b*tch. This is my biggest fear. :)

I know we're all kind of nervous and feeling loads of emotions (I know I am!) but I thought it might be fun to see what we were looking forward to after surgery? I cannot wait to throw out all my fat clothes. And sit in a chair without fear of it shattering! :)

What about you?

Me, me, me!! I'm schedule for Sept 2nd! I'm so excited! I was nevous for other appts but now I'm pretty calm, just marking every day off the calendar. I'm sure as it gets close, I will be out of my mind with nervousness.

I'm happy that there are several of us going though this together. I wish you all the very best of luck!

We need to stay in touch! :)

I'm looking forward to finding a bra that fits!! I'm fairly small chested (B cup) but big around (44) so finding a bra in this size is so hard and when I do find one, the fit is just miserable. I want my diameter to match my cup size so I'm looking forward being a 36, or maybe even a 34 B! Yea!

New to this site, my surgery is scheduled on 9/2. I am on day one of my pre surgery diet. Just received word that insurance approved. I am excited but nervous at the same time. Would appreciate some buddies to support each other along the way.

There are lots of us on September 2nd! I, too, am not the biggest fan of the liquid diet but it's not as bad as I thought it would be. :) I felt sick yesterday (lightheaded, nauseous, so spacy) but am feeling loads better today. I'm likeing Chike shakes the best so far. :)

      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?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
