I’m new! I finally selected my VSG surgery date (took me over 2 weeks to commit) after insurance approved. I started jumping through the hoops 03/01/18. My insurance required 3 months of doctor supervised of weightloss; I lost about 10 lbs. Feeling guilty; since having the last appts and clearing all the hoops mid June I’ve been indulging - not crazy like McDonalds everyday - but not following the plan 100% as I was. VSG Surgery date 8/27/18.

Hello I am all new here. Going through these steps right now. I have my last dietitian appt this Thursday 6 of 6. And hopeful I will be a step closer to a healthy new me.. I dont know what to expect after the dietitian appt or what comes next but hey its not going to happen over night. [emoji4]

I started by going to a weight loss center and getting on Optifast Feb. 2017. Stating weight was 287.7. I learned alot and lost about 50 lbs which was great but after a year I was so done with shakes and I realized that I needed to take it to the next level if I was ever going to really get the weight off.

I went to one of the top WLS docs i my area in May and he agreed to getting me a bypass. My surgery is tomorrow!!! I am excited for the future, a bit nervous about the whole surgery and eager to be on the loser bench! I'm also really hungry!!!
