I was informed yesterday that my insurance was approved for 11/19. I was a little bit scared after I got the call from my doctors office to schedule surgery and my final pre-op and all post-op appointments along with pre-surgery labs and X-rays but I am keeping my eye on the prize and looking forward to living a healthier life.

Congrats!!! and i fully understand the feeling after the call.. I was happy I had a date, but then my brain said.."hey buddy this is it" and then I started thing about things I need to pack and questions I wanted to ask..but don't worry I think we both have about 4weeks to simmer down and focus.

Just got my call. November 16th. I feel like I'm going to throw up and poop my pants at the same time. I've been on journey for 8 long months and now I am terrified. I feel like I have a lump in my throat!!!

Congrats!! I think we are all going to feel the same at one point or another in the next few weeks. For me, it'll probably be when I get on the plane to Mexico.

I don't have a date yet but hoping to get a Nov. 23ish date...I am self pay and was told by my doctor's office that once I did all my prerequisites that my surgery could possibly be scheduled as early as 2 weeks. I only have my upper GI to do this week....I'm kind of hoping they find a hiatal hernia so my insurance will kick in for part of the hospital stay.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
