Hi everyone! I am a “newbie” here, and I’m also new to the *Wonderful World of Weight-loss Surgery*. I started my process in November, my insurance requires a consecutive 6 month physician supervised diet,my appointment next week will make month 3 for me(halfway mark yay!!). This is my first time making a post, I mostly get on here to just read research, but I noticed that everyone is either post-op, or already on the liquid diet, so I’m looking for people to connect with that are currently still going through the process before approval like me...a little about myself: My name is Jaz I am 25yrs old.

MY STATS:

Height: 5”6

CW: 243(give or take)

HW: 250

GW: 140

BMI:39

I started in July also. My paperwork was submitted on Thursday,but I have a surgery date on April 5th. I just hope I get approved. My willpower is dwindling. Struggling to stay on track right now. I share your anxiety.

Hang in there! I'm getting my surgery March 5th. I know it seems like it's a million miles away, but you'll be doing a pre-op diet before you know it!

I kept receiving phone calls asking for more and more. I finally went down with my weight loss folder and every signed paper I have and went through it with her. I think they handle so much paperwork things get misplaced. My surgery coordinator is great about quick responses, so it worked that I made her life easier. Good luck to you.

I received approval Monday I go for my pre op testing on da 12th my pre op class on the 15th an my surgery is at 5:30am on the 19th... Im scared an excited at the same time!!!

Yay!! I think you're feeling exactly the same as I am. I watched these youtube videos and really liked this one guy who kept it real: https://www.fighting400.com/

Watching them gave me tons of information and helped me feel more excited than scared.

I had my surgery March 5th, I vlogged the day of, the day after and yesterday. Today is a crazy emotional day. It's a lot man.
