My paperwork was submitted yesterday to my insurance and I am anxiously awaiting approval. I have a tentative surgery date of May 9th! Excited & nervous!!!

If you have to ask, the answer is probably no. If you were in a place with him that you had a deep connection/relationship, you wouldn't be asking us you would just tell him. I wasn't dating anyone at the time I had surgery. The people have I dated post-op, I have been honest with about losing weight and trying to get in better health, but I haven't mentioned surgery. None have ask and most aren't curious that I have lost/am losing weight. They just like that I'm pretty and look amazing in a dress.

I understand. I shared my LastPass password with hubs before surgery. Subscriptions are probably a good idea. I subscribed to Netflix a couple years ago when I had bronchitis and never looked back. :-)

I have lost about 100 pounds and my shoe size went down one. It is too funny.

Thank you both for your input!

Thank you! I would have forgotten, I never take pics of myself. I need to request vacation time at work. Make a living will ( I don't have one and I know it's a negative state of mind but, it would make me feel better) Grocery shop for husband and kids. Subscribe to HBO Now and Starz so I have more to watch when I'm post op and bored.

This is the toughest time. I found that everybody tells you what to eat and how much but they fail to tell you that it takes some time to get there. As you heal you will be able to tolerate meals better. As your swelling goes down you'll be able to fit a bit more in. That early on I could not get 4 ounces down. I ate two ounces at a time all day long. Your protein shakes count as fluid so sip, sip, sip. All day long. Drinking a whole shake at once may not be possible yet. Lastly, don't forget to eat really slowly. I always struggle if I eat too fast. Good luck.

Don't make yourself crazy reading on the internet. Just stay quit and you will pass on the 18th. I was a 30 year pack a day smoker and passed a blood test in 5 (closer to 4) days of zero nic. Stay quit because you never know if you'll have what you need to quit again. We have come too far to blow this surgery over smoking.

Well I'm on my way for an EGD...the test alone is not scary but what my Dr might decide. This is revisional for me band to sleeve. I had the band 2007 lost about 85 pounds but went through some traumatic times in a short period of time. Was married to an abuser I had lost a good amount in a short time got pregnant with twins was punched hard multiple times in the stomach lost one baby to a miscarriage and then the other to etopic pregnancy...father diagnosed with cancer died 6 months later. Fractured my arm near my elbow but husband wouldn't let me go to the hospital till it already started healing....by February 2008 he went to jail and I got to rebuild my life...took a couple times of homelessness and unemployed to be where I am.....in a much better place...the band had me over restricted so much so that I had it removed in 2010. Unfortunately I gained all my weight back... my whole point is that the dr is hesitating if it has been eroded...I just need prayers...I need a do over...I've suffered relentlessly and Ive been researching and I'm ready and wanting to do this for the right reasons....please pray that he will see the possibilities of doing this surgery....thank you for listening....

How are you doing? Thinking of you
