Has anyone been scheduled for August? Some of my appointments were Telemed, during the Covid-19 shut down, so I was starting to doubt that my surgery was going to happen. Things are moving forward. I have not gotten an official date, but last week had a sleep Apea test. The August surgery was noted in my referral, and since then in another appointment. It seems like a long way off, but time has a way of going quickly, especially when you have things to do.

That is exciting, no having to jump through the insurance company hoops. Some make you wait a year. Best of luck.

I have an appointment next Friday for blood work, nutritionist, scan for kidney stones, the works. I have wondered when I'll meet the doctor. Time is starting to get tight. I just found out that I have to have a hysterectomy before the Bariatric surgery. I'm trying not to worry. 🙄

Good luck on Monday.

Yes. My OB/GYN said to take care of the hysterectomy 1st. Right now, July is wide open, so it should give me time to get it done and recover.

Do you have a date set for your hysterectomy?

Booked for bypass on August 10. Much sooner than I thought. I only really started seriously considering surgery two months ago. 😮

Congrats! August will be here before you know it. Learn all you can for a successful surgery and speedy recovery.

This coming Monday, I'll get the date of my hysterectomy. I found out I'll have wait 3 months before having my sleeve surgery, after that. Right now it seems like a long time to wait, since I'm so close.

Try not to be scared. If you like your surgeon, and he has experience and a good reputation, you will be in good hands. Deep breaths.

      It has hit me today, as I sit in my chair at work that I don't have my belly sticking out to where it would hit the desk. Oh and I can cross my legs more comfortably. It amazes me just how much I have loss in inches vs actual pounds, I have lost 24 lbs all together. But I believe in inches all over about 3 inches. I am noticing more energy and have pep to my step. My skin is a lot clearer. My watch band is shorter by 3 notches. the little things are what I am noticing. When I bend over I don't feel out of breath or I am going to fall over ( weeble wobble). 
      I am having a hard time with my sweet tooth, it is very hard to not want to get some ice cream or chocolate. Candy I can do without. I have no craving really for that, just chocolate and ice cream. I have gone as far as taking Popsicle and putting them in my mixer with almond milk and making like ice cream with that/ sometimes I have added un-flavored protein powder. 
      I feel better everyday. The energy is great to have with having younger kids and being able to have the energy to keep up. 😃

      If anyone has any advice on how to make your stomach feel better after you eat something you shouldn't have or at too fast, I would GREATLY appreciate it!! It's painful on both sides of my abdomen (like to the point I'm doubled over and using a hot water bottle in addition to medicine) and I'm really nauseous (the thought or smell of food is 🤢).
