Anyone scheduled for surgery in January 2018? I'm booked in for the 12th. Would be nice to chat to people in the same stage x

Got it now. Thanks.

I’ve got a date of 1/16!!! So excited, but I’ll be happier once I see the paperwork from the insurance!!

I'm also 1/16! And excited!

I wish my insurance would pay, but at least there were no hoops for me to jump through being private pay. I decided in December to have surgery and it was booked the same day I asked, and now surgery is today. It's scary how easy it was but I am very confident in my surgeons skills, and I know I need this to be healthy. In hindsight I almost wish I had those hoops to jump through because I'm kind of regretting not being more prepared for it. I'm a "fly by the seat of your pants" kind of person apparently.

How did your surgery go?

I finally got a surgery date yesterday. Surgery will be Jan 30th! I'm so excited and so nervous.

I had my sleeve surgery on January 3rd. I am home now and feeling pretty good. I started my shakes and vitamins, slowly. Just a bit sore, but no worse than when I had gallbladder surgery. I am not hungry, which is great. I am drinking slowly. And walking around the house a few minutes every hour. I'm on my way?

Good luck everyone.

Mine is the 16th. I got my insurance approval Monday

They wanted extra blood work from me.

I had my surgery 2 days ago. All went well. Dr said it was difficult due to excessive scar tissue from prior surgery, but really i am feeling great other than nausea. Getting discharged shortly. I swear my shirt is already looser on me. Nice!

Brilliant news! Congratulations xx

Congratulations. I had my surgery on the 3rd. I am already trying no pain meds today. And no nausea meds. Just drinking slowly, taking vitamins. I cameout of hospital weighing 13 lbs heavier because of the gasses and fluids. I am down 11 lbs now and feeling better. Remember, it gets better everyday.

Having got off to a bad start, the last few days of my preop diet have been much easier. Hope everyone else is finding that it gets easier with time too xx

I wont have access to a scale again until i fly home on the 10th, probably a good thing since im sure i have swelling and fluids from the IV still. I feel like i should be in pain, but hardly none. This is wonderful. I'm so relieved since my healh insurance will not pay for anything obesity related or complications from surgery. It sounds like youre doing equally well, and that is awesome to read.
