Pre op new to app

[mdurham22 8]

Hi everyone! I am new to the app and wanted to introduce myself. I am pre op for the sleeve. I am hoping to have the surgery in May so I will have the summer to recover and get used to the new lifestyle. I have already accomplished a few goals in preparation for the surgery. I quit smoking (2 and a half packs daily!) seven months ago. I also quit drinking soda in October. I am hoping for ultimate success and would appreciate any encouragement or advice.

Hi congrats on accomplishing some of your goals. I am 17 days post op and I feel great thank God. I really like this app because I just feel the support and I know people know exactly what I'm going through. So far I have felt so much support. I'm new at this too but hopefully I can be some help to you.

That would be wonderful! Did you have the sleeve? I’m still learning how this app works.

Just play around with it you'll get the hang of it. When is your surgery scheduled? You excited?

I’m still waiting on insurance approval. But I am hoping for sometime in May. I am super excited and nervous. I am trying to be as prepared as possible.

Thank you! How did you figure out your goal weight? I’m still unsure about mine.

Honestly my Dr helped me with that

Welcome and congrats! Giving up soda was the number 1 thing I was happy I did before surgery. Now, a year post op, I still don't drink it and I don't miss it. I never thought I'd say that. Good luck. You'll do great.
