The 6 months will go by so fast! I felt like I had just started when my surgical coordinator called and gave me a surgery date, I couldn't believe it.

I have a question regarding the 6 months. Does the doctor make you complete a full 6 months like to date or is it just in the 6th month? Like for me will they say 1/21-7/21 or is it 180days? I'm a little confused

@MsB7. I'm not sure about it. My insurance is requiring the 6 months so I'm sure it is 180 days. Either way in hoping it puts my surgery date somewhere in or around August or September.

I'm also starting my process must meet with my nutritionist and the surgeon this coming Tuesday, feeling pretty excited, wishing us all a safe a happy journey! ????

I started my 6 months supervised weight loss this month as well. I'm so pissed about it but I know it has to be done. Anyone have any ideas on how to remain positive or tips to make the time go quick?

@@ava32 I don't have any tips however I am just trying to remain positive with faith. Also knowing that at the end of the 6 months you will get the Best Gift/ Prize ever BETTER HEALTH (a 2nd Chance at life). That's pretty much how I am looking at it because with Better health comes Longevity.

Blessings

Thanks, you're right! It is just I have been struggling all my life. And when I found out about the 6 month requirement, I got really discouraged. But I guess it's better to look at the glass half full instead of empty. ????

@@ava32 I have struggled all of my life as well. But they say time will fly. So hopefully it does. I also think about how 6 months is shorter than the 12 months that my sister had to do 5 years ago for her WLS.

      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.
