Yeeesss me! I got approved for surgery so quick took like a month because I had several doctor records trying to lose weight since middle school and all failed so now I'm 25 and scared as crap bc my support group is small as well as my support team but I know that it's within myself where my support really relies on. But my surgery is September 20th 2016, yaaaay let's get it!!!

Melanie 89 Im in Atlanta Ga, USA, My insurance is covering my bcs I have High blood pressure also and Sleep Apnea. But Like you Im so nervous and not sure whats going on my weight has gone up now that Im getting close to surgery and its not like im eating more I went to the doctor today and I was told that it was due to anxiety that triggers the gain weight... so Im keeping my fingers crossed

Hi etorres - this is my first time on the site, so forgive any obvious mistakes. My surgery is scheduled for September 12. I, too, am excited, nervous, and sometimes even afraid. I'm sure this is normal, but when you're going through it it's awful! Do you have to do the two week pre-surgery diet? I think I'm more afraid of that then anything. So afraid it will be so hard for me that I'll give up. Good luck to you and I'll be standing by for more posts from you.

Good Morning All!! So I am hoping to find a group of September Surgery Buddies here!! I was originally scheduled for August 4th, and then due to the surgeon's conflicting scheduling (a scheduling error I'm sure) and my already standing Labor Day Weekend plans, we postponed until September 28, 2016...

Currently, I am not on any "diet" per se, but I am doing my best to eat "clean", and I have started to workout as well.. I figured I might as well get into the habit before the surgery. Hope to hear from you all soon!! Take care!!

September 19th too!

I start my 2 wks pre surgery diet Sept 5th. I've cut out all sweets (my big downfall has always been my sweet tooth!) and am down to very little caffeine already. I would normally have alot of coffee with sugar & cream in the mornings. Now I have a cup with splenda & cream and then a cup black. Also was a huge diet pepsi drinker and am trying to just drink Water. At the most I'm having 1 can of soda a day now. Ik the 2 wks thing will be difficult but I'll stick to it. I saw my surgeon yesterday and he patiently answered all my questions. He seems very nice. My surgery is Sept 19th. I have been working on this all summer and am both scared and excited.

I have been thinking a lot about the changes that we are all about to take and I know this is the best decision we are making because this means that we are making a difference for our self. Do not let nobody put you down or make u fell bad. A lot of changes are coming. ARE U PREPARE????

I am definitely physically prepared and exhausted but emotionally I have been shedding tears (and I'm not a crier, I take Zoloft and that basically makes you emotionless). So I find it weird that I am teary...maybe because my longest relationship is going to be ending. Maybe?
