I have my preop appointments on Tuesday... I don’t think much time goes between moments of thinking about the surgery... and thereafter... it’s so surreal. My first appointment with my primary was June 2016, but due to my husband’s health we put it off until January ... I called to schedule an appointment and we were at Mayo for my husband’s checkup and it was a snow day... it was pretty quiet and people probably canceled - well it worked in my favor. We left that day and I had met with the endocrinologist and set 3 appointments for the following week to meet with the nutritionist, psych eval and endo again ... then I started my 12 week emotional behavioral weight management sessions that Friday, she happened to have a cancelation and could fit me in... it’s all been rolling along. The longest time I’ve had without contact with Mayo was after I was approved.... until this Tuesday. I’ve been smoke-free since January 10th. My weight on the day I met with the endo Dr on the first visit was 291 lbs. my weight at my primary annual exam last week was 273 lbs.
anyone else care to share their journey ?

Cookies n cream Protein Shake that sounds so good. I will start the liquid diet on the 9th. I hope I can stick to it, I have a fatty liver anyway. So I hope there's no problem when my surgeI on performs my surgery.

Cookies and Cream should really be in quotes lol do they ever really taste like their title chocolate lava, cookies and cream, vanilla lol wooohooo for protein shakes

My surgery is coming up, 10/10 - 4 more days. Really scared but cannot wait to get her done.

October 3rd. If I can get my A1C low enough.

How low does your A1C have to be?

picked up all of my prescriptions today man this is getting real, real fast. I am not super excited about the laxative but really who is

My day is coming up super fast and these nerves are kicking in overdrive! October 4th!!!! And to think today is the 2nd.... OMG! I'm beyond excited but I am so unbelievably scared of something going wrong during surgery and not seeing my husband and three kids again.
Anyone else having surgery in two days on October 4th?

How did everything go? How are you feeling?

Everything went great. I came home from the hospital yesterday afternoon. All I can say is gas pains are NO joke! And I'm definitely out of breath and drained of energy super fast, just walking to the bathroom I lose my breath. But I'm on this journey to a healthier, happier Me.
