I started my program in February and I’m finally scheduled for gastric bypass surgery on July 6th!! I am so beyond excited, nervous and just feeling all the things right now. Let’s chat about our upcoming surgeries!

Lapband removal, Gastric bypass, and hernia repair scheduled for July 6th.

I’m 4 days into my preop diet, which is 2 weeks of a shake for breakfast and lunch and a healthy choice steamer for dinner. I’ve been enhancing the healthy choice meal with extra steamed broccoli, which is helping. I think I’m beyond the worst hunger pains now.

We are surgery day buddies! I’m starting my pre-op diet in a few days! I cannot believe it’s less then 2 weeks away.

I got my insurance approval letter today! Yeah!

I received my insurance approval! Surgery is July 22. I am really struggling to make a decision regarding vitamins. It's like my team gave me too many options. Anyone recommend a certain brand or flavor?

My nutritionist told me to just take kids chewables. Like the flinstone vitamins. Just to make sure there’s iron in them. I’ve had blood work twice since I’ve been on them and all my vitamin levels are PERFECT compared to when I wasn’t taking any vitamins and I was deficient in a few things.
