I GOT A SURGERY DATE!! WOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

April 14th I'll be sleeved by Dr. Enrique Elli at mayo Clinic!

This seemed like the longest process ever.. started on January 4th, and now it's just two weeks away.

I start my Optifast liquid diet tomorrow. I know it'll be miserable, but I'm going to hold onto the idea that I don't care because I HAVE A DATE!!

I just met my surgeon last week. I go back for a follow up, nutrition counseling and the psychological next week.

I'm hoping to get a surgery date shortly after.

Best of luck to you!!

Congratulations! That's actually not that long really. I know a lot of people that have to go through a 6 month weight loss program before their insurance will pay. I started my journey meeting my surgeon in July, starting my weight loss program in late August and I am having my surgery finally on Friday April 1! That is nearly 9 months!

Very happy for you though!!

@@KELLIEDN I know it wasn't actually that long, not for a life-altering process. But it still seemed so to me :)

That's fantastic!!!!

Hang in there, the preop diet is truly the suckiest part of the whole process, especially when you just want to be done with all the "pre" song & dance and just want your surgery date to get here, already.

Honestly, now that I have my date I'm a lot calmer now. I have so much to do to prepare (work, school projects, finals, trip this weekend, my birthday, my side business), that I think I will be content these next two weeks. I am a planner!

Woohoo! I'm doing the happy dance for you as well! I'm just starting and am currently at my initial consultation. Hopefully I will be doing the same dance shortly for myself as well! :)

      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!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
