I am actually feeling pretty nervous! Butterflies in my stomach since two days ago, and I still have 13 days until the surgery. At this rate, I will be hyperventilating with high blood pressure on the day of. ;) I still believe I'm making the right decision, but any time I think about it, I feel nervous.

How are you doing?

Hello,

I was approved for surgery last Thursday and scheduled the actual surgery date for May 15th. I am beyond excited! I am pleased with how smooth the insurance approval went. It took one day to get an approval so thankfully I did not have to wait. Anyone else have surgery in May? And for those of you who have already had surgery what do I pack in my hospital bag? I am so looking forward to this next chapter in my life.

Hi, I'm May 2nd. I am going to pack leggings and loose tshirts for daytime. A loose long cardigan if it's cold. Made sure I have comfy undies. I have stretch crop top type bras that pull on over head. Much more comfy than proper wire ones. I have some loose nighties for sleep time. I'll bring a light dressing gown in case I'm worse than I expect first day and not up to dressing. It's nice to have some coverage if nurses and drs in and out. God I hope I get a private room.

I’m scheduled for May 2nd, too!! I’m thinking about bringing some loose loungewear, and maybe a maxi dress or something. Hopefully we will only be in the hospital for one night! I hadn’t even thought about how many people may be in a room together, I wish I’d asked!
How are you feeling as the day approaches? I feel like I’m living in the twilight zone, like this can’t really be happening!

That's a good idea on dresses. I will pack a coupon loose swing dresses I have. Often hospital rooms are hot. I am nervous but excited to start my weight loss journey. I have some photos near my fridge of when I was size 8-10 to keep in mind how good it will be to slim down if I'm struggling at any point.

Congrats, that is soooo exciting!!! I had mine about 3 weeks ago! I would recommend packing the loosest stretchy pants you can find. Anything hugging your tummy will feel worse then you will already feel. Good luck! [emoji5]

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
