Because it's tentative. They messed up and didn't upload all my tests and procedures properly on my first visit, so they can't give me a surgery date until they have all that done. Then they'll run it through insurance, but because they know I do have them, and they're the ones who screwed up, so they went ahead and booked me, figuring it will all be in and done by that date.

All they need now is an Iron test from me (the only test I didn't do beforehand) which I'll get done tomorrow, then they'll send it to my insurance for preapproval.

Hey guys I got a surgery date for Feb. 8, 2017. I'll be having surgery in NJ.

Still haven't been approved by insurance yet tho. Very nervous about it actually as I have gained a couple of pounds due to the holidays and scared they might think I'm not serious about surgery . 8 pounds to be exact from the last time they weighed me.

I am 5'5 and weigh 248 now. When the first weighed me I was 240 in November

Really can't wait for the next 3 weeks to fly by and I hope I get approved!!

Good luck my feb. sleevers !!!! I will keep y'all updated .

How is everyone doing? Anyone on their pre op diet yet? I started to eat healthy and do some cleanses before my technical pre op diet just so I know I'm lowering the visceral fat (fat around organs) to help with surgery. My Surgery is Feb 9th. I feel like it's all I think about. I'm totally consumed by the pre op, post op guidelines...the surgery, everything. It's all that's going through my head. Can't focus on anything else. I want it done and over with so I can move on to healing.

It is all consuming, isn't it? This may sound crazy, but I never realized how much of an emotional eater I am/was until I had that first consultation. We went to Red Lobster afterwards and I kept eating until I was in pain. Since, I've caught myself doing it many and many times, I think from the stress of this process among other things. Or maybe I'm binging because I know I can't soon enough. I don't know. It's all so....confusing, sometimes.

But I was going to ask, have you guys ever watched the YouTube vlogs on life after wls? I find myself crying each and every time when they're still in the hospital, signing the last of the papers before being rolled away into surgery. That signature is a goodbye to your old self, all the heartache and self hatred. It's a goodbye to the 'I wills and I can'ts because of my weight'. It's putting all your chips on the table and gambling for a better life, because now you've found the right road to who you were meant to be all along, and now, finally, you're putting your past to bed.

Yeah, what a powerful moment <3

      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?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
