GETTING SURGERY AUGUST 19th!!



Recommended Posts

FINALLY of 4 months having two bumps in the road preventing me to get approved to finally getting the call Thursday from my surgeons office telling me to call them back to schedule surgery and my insurance approved me! They first gave me the date of July 8 but I had to get an AUGUST date due to work schedule for the next 2 months!

I been in the process since Dec. 5 (consult day)

I am so excited, after I got the call i called my mom, sister, and grandparents with the news with tears in my eyes. All day that day I was so emotional wanting to scream to cry of happiness.

I can not wait for my new journey in getting healthy.

Family have asked me if I’m excited and scared. All I’ve told them is both but that I am not trying to think of the scary things.

.... just wanted to share with all of you

Congratulations Bianca!!!!!! Very happy for you! We may be August siblings! I'm looking at August 16th myself just to get the summer out the way!
We'll keep each other updated and even consider starting August surgeries thread as we get closer.

Congratulations again!

And Bianca and Deedee, as you pack up your tank tops and shorts this year, might as well donate them cause you won't be This size again! Dug out my capris, shorts & sleeveless blouse OMG they tell off so badly 6 boxes are going to charity, never going to be a 4 or 5X again, now I am an 18, less than a year, actually 9 months but I never could duplicate this without my Sweet Surgery, and oh yes I did try, what I lost from the front circled around and latched on to my behind. Sir Mixalot would have found me his Dream Woman. But now I have a teeny tiny heiny and that don't make me whiny, rather celebrating,the fact,i have a profile instead of a side view of a chunk of flesh. Not only did they say "God, she's BIG" they also said "God shes THICK". Not no moren I worry that I am becoming emaciated but MAYBE this is what " normal" looks like!

I am so ready for decluttering clothes hehe. Hard part is I don’t have many so right now I’m wearing quarter sleeve shirts in summer weather because I don’t want to buy summer clothes for me not to be able to wear after 2 months from now.

Thanks for the encouraging words!! I been binge watching my 600lb life, family by the ton and experiences on YouTube with excitement.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
