Where are you guys

I haven't done anything yet my first time to see my surgeon to start the process is August 5 so far I'm just working on blood works and medical necessity to speed up the process

I'm so excited to get my ball rolling but I know the closer I get the more scared ill get.

How long more you have to go ?

Anxiety here!! In the morning I see the Bariatric coordinator and get blood work done

I'm hoping to be a January sleever. I have my first meeting with the surgeon and the team tomorrow!

I'm hoping I'm in February if all goes well????

Mine will take place late November or early December! I am also in Michigan. I just had my upper gi today and that was an interesting experience!

Awesome ????????I wish the months could go by flying lol

Count me in. Hopefully, December. I'm struggling through the 6-month pre-open diet, on month 3. Laurel, MD. I'm only telling my husband, adult kids, and best friend. My sisters wouldn't get it.

My mom, gram, and bf are the only three that know I'm doing this. Why give people the opportunity to bring us down, right? I'd rather stay quiet and kill them with my results from my "low carb high protein diet".

I agree, you wouldn't imagine how many others have opted for this low carb high protein diet and refuse to tell the truth:)

@gerbil8118 are you required to lose wait for your 6months preop diet?

@@newstart38 I've read a couple theories. One, the insurance company wants to see weight loss so they know you will folllow the strict post-op diet, and the other was from a Bariatric Pal's entry, saying she was unable to lose weight in the pre-op diet and was still approved by her insurance company. My take on it is that the more you can lose prior to surgery, the better for the actual procedure (making room in there) and recovery (proper nutrition gets your body working better for healing).

I'm trying, but struggling (as usual). My mind tells me I can't do it. Sometimes I feel motivated and do okay on a diet, but this time it's not happening.

well, since today's visit counts as Month 1, I will be a January sleever afterall. preferably mid-January. so, I can enjoy Christmas and NYE Champagne, fully!

I will be a mid January as well
