Waiting is the hardest part!



Recommended Posts

I have 2 wks until my first seminar for WLS @ Madigan AFB. it's so hard waiting because I just want to get going with all the steps I have to go through. And, I had to wait an extra month because the first seminar I was scheduled for in Oct. was cancelled. I'm hoping to have surgery in Jan or Feb. I'm ready for my new life!!!

@@amiclvrt welcome and congratulations on your decision for wls! I am in the beginning phases as well...and waiting is the hardest lol. I think I super obsessed about 2 wks before my seminar and died down a tad about 2 wks after....I had my seminar the 1st of October and had my first supervised diet appt yesterday I have six months of that and an additional 2 months for some specific stuff until I can submit to insurance so congrats on maybe January or February surgery lol!! If you need a journey buddy I'm in the beginning stages with ya so feel free to holler at me! I am scooping up all newbies like me for support haha

Thanks!! Let's be friends for sure. Thankfully I only have about 2 months of stuff after the first seminar and I am already approved by insurance. I'm so ready to get started. I have made a lot of the changes they want this past year and I feel like I am totally ready to embrace this new life.

@@Ethomas15, @amiclvrt....I was the same way. After I had my first Oct. 9 surgeon appt., I breathed, ate, slept and dreamed about my next appt. which starts the official process. I know ai called that office about 5 times with questions and they were always polite and helpful. I am sooooo excited now. I stay on this site to get as much info, ideas and suggestions as I can. I hope to have my surgery in Feb. 2015 as well. Good luck to you both!

@@Ladiec2 I think it's just human nature to be obsessive about this kind of stuff but I think it puts a whole new element when you take people who have dealt with something like weight for so long and imagining a whole new life! Its crazy!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
