I hope to meet some long term friends here as I embark on this super-amazing journey! I have my consultation and meeting with the Dr. and nurse team tomorrow at Gwinnett Bariatric Center (Dr. Robert Richard) and I am THRILLED that my insurance covers the surgery, I've already been pre-certified, I have very little out of pocket, and I could be sleeved in Nov or Dec! So excited, anxious, nervous and everything in between. I am blogging my journey, so if any of you would like to join me along for the ride, maybe we can support each other!

Love and Light!

I am 2 weeks post op. I can answer any questions you may have. It's a struggle at times, but very worth it. Down 30 pounds woo hoo!

Welcome! And congrats on starting this journey! I just got approved for my surgery as well and my surgery date is Nov 3rd. I'm so excited I really don't know what to do with myself LOL. I am so thankful we have this forum!

I will be having mine after the first of the year. I am taking care of all my preop stuff now. I have to switch insurance plans in order to get the surgery covered. I am looking to make some friends to share the journey with also, people who understand, so we can support each other, laugh, cry..

Welcome. Congrats on your approval. it is going to be a wonderful ride. I am 5 weeks out. Super happy. have gone through my first stall and now back to losing. 46 since I started. first 10 days or so after surgery are the hardest. take care and keep us updated.

You guys are awesome! Guess what?!?!? I got a surgery date!!! December 18th!!!

Welcome I am 4 weeks out and what a ride. Up and down on weight loss but I would not change a thing. Down 30 pounds. I found myself trying to keep up with others on the site. Then my husband said you are you and it will happen. He is being supportive. My one mistake is I have become glued to the scale. Do yourself a favor and try not to fall into that trap.
