I’m having cold feet as well. It’s getting so close and I’m FREAKING OUT!


Having RNY 3/21. Just been a lot going on in my personal life. And had to appeal my insurance, my surgeon spoke with them Friday. But I didn’t get a call yet. So have to call Monday. So it’s right down to the wire. But they aren’t worried that’s why they have kept my surgery date.

That’s good they’re not worried. I totally get that anticipation and frustration aspect I had to resubmit after a technical denial too, I was sure I wasn’t going to be approved. So they had you do the Oreos diet still or did you not have one?


I remember when i got my date in January 2013. I was all nerves just like you as I was afraid of the unknown. Believe me when I tell you I was also a bunch of nerves and started to doubt if I was doing the right thing. The Sleeve surgery saved my life. I’m texting you now because of it. Without this surgery I would not be alive today. I love the new me cause I couldn’t stand the old me. Stay encouraged, stay strong and go for it. We are here for you.


hon surgery is always scary but it is so worth it i am pre op again i almost had this done in 2016 but i was not in the right head space to do this and i am glad i waited but man i am also sad i did because i have only gotten heavier and more tired but what can you do so now is our time ok. just breath center your self and try and remember that you are young once man im like 4 years older than you but i get it

I have my surgery on Monday have to check in at 8 a.m. have been on the liquid diet all week. I just keep telling myself that life will be better. Just think of all the great clothes you will be able to fit in.




How are you feeling. Hope all is great. Let’s us know. We are here for you


Good luck to you on your surgery. Obviously your having this surgery to look fantastic on the outer and much more healthier on the inside. It's a natural thing to be kind of nervous. I remember how nervous I was because I was afraid of the unknown. But everything turned out just fine. 5 years later I'm still loving the new me. At times it was challenging as I had some ups and downs but when you want it and go for it you will not be defeated. Get ready for a new you on the outside and the inside and don't be afraid. Embrace it. Can't wait to see the best of you.

I did the exact same thing! I got the call and was so excited and all of a sudden I was scared and weepy! I am having my surgery the day after so if you want we can be buddies :)

Great. Have no problems with that at all

keep me informed.
