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!

Ok I am off to prep for surgery at 8 am! I'm still nervous

best wishes. Hugs

@@MicheleL me too! Good luck to us both. I know you're as excited as I am to be on the post op side of all of this.

best wishes and hugss

you will do just fine;)

2 days post op... Recovery has been difficult to say the least bit I'm doing better now. Glad the nausea is finally subsiding. How are you other this week sleevers doing?

I had my surgery monday, the nausea went away, but I got a real bad headache and I don't think I'm getting enough fluids in, and I no longer like premier protein shakes ugh

Happy to know your doing better;)

Sorry it has been awhile since I have popped in here. The facebook group keeps me busy.

I am officially 15 days post op. On purees (2 more weeks to go) and overall doing great. Tummy is still a little bit tender but I figure that is par for the course. I am down 12lbs since surgery. I am doing a pretty decent job of hitting my water and protein intake, Eating all my vitamins and itching to get back into the gym (Dr. said one more week and to ease into it).

Hope everyone is doing great!!

I am slowly getting there

Eating and drinking little bit little. I actually have 7 openings and to d at I accidentally ripped one of my pump switched
