Hi! I just started my journey and I am looking forward to chatting with those of you who are on a similar time-frame as myself. My insurance is Cigna so they require a 3 month supervised diet, psych eval and sign off from my primary (which I am worried about, I haven't seen him in 5 years so what if he wont sign off? should I find someone new? suggestions?)

I am aiming for an early September surgery date, my Dr. said it is doable! I am excited and nervous.

I have learned so much already from reading about everyone else's experience it has really helped to calm me down.

I feel like I am obsessed with this and it's all I can think about. I have probably watched 200 youtube videos so far. LOL

Any tips, tricks or advice is welcome and appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

I am scheduled for 9/8/15.. counting down..finishing up pre surgery bloodwork and getting supplies in for after surgery.

Wishing you the best of luck with your surgery!

My surgery is tomorrow! I'm so nervous. All the laundry is done. Clean sheets on the bed, bathroom rugs in washer. LOL...I have the nesting urge like I did before the girls were born. This nervousness is making me want to eat any and everything but I'm able to control it knowing it's just nerves. Pray for me please!

I'm also scheduled for the 8th. Did all my pre-op lab work yesterday. Now it seems like everyone and their dog wants to meet me for brunch or dinner. Lol It's just weird timing.

Have fun with your count down!

You will do great!!! Keep us posted

Wow such a flurry of sleevers nesting.

I know I will be the same way next week at this time.

Right now I am nesting trying to get everything set at work. Arggggggg

Best wishes to all Sept. sleevers, I to am set for Sept. the 14th. Excited and nervous!

Mine is tomorrow at 12. I'm soaking my gel nails off now for the anesthesia and getting nervous. I just read a review on Rea self of someone that has had problems. I could have done without that! Good luck everyone!

Today begins my 2 week liquid diet. I'm extremely nervous! All I want to keep thinking is about the goal I will be achieving and no more yo-yo dieting, but the thought of failure always tries to get in the way. Good luck to everyone else on the liquid diet... We got this!!!

Stay strong! I'll be joining you next week! We will help each other!

Thoughts and prayers are with our pals having surgery today!

It's a good day for smiles.

I started my 2 week also today so we can keep each other company!

I have my last Dr appointment then will get my date. Hope it is in September. I too was worried about my Dr signing off.

He was actually on the mean side. Said why do that to your body? You will just be back here in 5 years the same size as you are now! I broke down in tears.... I've been obese for years and my records show it. I've tried every diet....every pill....hypnotized ...HCG shots etc... Then I got mad. He told me how he and his wife get up at 5:30 every day to workout. I had to remind him he's not obese.... When I told my surgeons nurse what my Dr said, she said it was time for a new Dr. I agree only I'll wait until after the surgery ! Anyway, got my letter and I am full steam ahead !!

Surgery yesterday, home just now! I feel good! I'm about to take a nap, though. Mmm, liquid Vicodin....
