So I didnt see a June thread and wanted to make one so we could all stay accountable and have a lot of good and bad experiences together!!! Introducing myself: My name is Kassandra, I am 27 years young, I have 3 great kids (9 yr old & 5yr old little boys & a 2 year old little girl), a wonderful hubby, and 3 great cats. I'm a type 2 diabetic & have sleep apnea. I decided to do this to take my life back because I do NOT want my kids to lose me so young. I'm 5 ft 2 and 258 lbs. I was 293 last summer then I started to make small changes to get ready for surgery. I had planned for the sleeve but my insurance won't cover it right now so RNY it is!!!

I am now 06/13/2019

Nah, I am revision. I remember my pre-op diet. It went by fast and at first it was hard! We got this and it's all about moving forward!

So true. I'm just dreading it because my hubby's birthday and then our wedding anniversary are going to be in the middle of my preop diet lmao

I'm tentatively scheduled for RNY on July 2, so I'll be quietly lurking in the shadows on this group. I can be like the a very distant cousin in your little family LOL

I'm a teacher, so my bariatric team knew that I wanted a summer surgery. I'll be done with all of my requirements Monday April 29, so I'm a little ahead of the game.

Good luck to us all!

Welcome to our little thread!!! I know how you're feeling. I'm terrified but soooo excited. I thought June wouldn't get here fast enough but it seems like the days are flying by now lol. I started to slowly buy stuff for my preop and post OP diet. What kind of preop diet are you having to do?

Thank you!

Thats a good idea, I should start prepping to. I also plan on clearing all of my cupboards out!

My private surgeon (I’m in the UK), is putting me on ‘the milk diet’ for 2 weeks prior to surgery.

It will, it will, I am 73 , a gastric bypass of less than a year, have lost 130 pounds from my highest weight, 97 pounds since surgery last September 5th. And I would have sworn it would never happen, I just couldn't diet and keep it off, Lord a Mercy, I did try, should have been awarded an Effort Trophy. But I am sure doing it now, don't even look like me anymore since I lost my round moon face. But I will be something special when I am through, no big thing if I start resembling my dead relatives, they are in no state to complain.
So June will be the Wonder month for you all, and we will all cheer you on!

Thank you I think I’m going to need you all xx

So true. I'm just dreading it because my hubby's birthday and then our wedding anniversary are going to be in the middle of my preop diet lmao

So you Seattle Lady and your hubby, Seahawk Man, are both doing well, living a better, smoother smaller life now. Bet you've got almost enough energy to go into your 2nd set of teenager years!?

Crossing fingers that I will have a June surgery! Had a check in with the surgeons office yesterday and I have one more PCP appointment before we submit to insurance but they are thinking end of June, early July. ??????

Not, we have both lived better over the last 4 years. However, we have never gotten to the goals we have select. My GERD is really an issue. He has other issues. Yes we have had some degree of success. It's not over for this phase of healthy living.

And I hope you do get it straightened out, GERD is a Rotten Thing to have.
