I think its just natural that we get worried to ! Ive had weight loss surgery before I had the lapband and I also just had surgery in aug to have it removed and like me when i was having the band put in i was so excited and nerves and worried all at the same time that your just plain sick at your stomach from all these emotion's lol but good luck this is so exciting just for all of us to start a new journey at the same time!

Hey y"all just curious with the ones with waiting on approval if you have had any luck yet ? I know with me and I lecture my children about being patient but im not a very patient person on the waiting part cause i know sometimes those insurance dont get into any big hurry sometimes lol

That's ok I'm glad you did cause you probably be doing your liquid diet In Dec !

i'ts so exciting to see how many is having there surgery in Dec! I dont know how many people has made comments though aww you wont be able to enjoy christmas dinner no but it doesnt bother me because its the best christmas present i could get this is coming from people that hasnt walked in my shoes having weight issues ! congrats with everyone

When do you start your liquid or do you? i go back the 6 th of dec for my last dr's appt then after that i start my 2week liquid

Thank you mine to

your not very far from me i have family down in nw arkansas my surgery is dec 17th

So I found out yesterday that i have a set date for dec 17th which i thought i was going to be getting sleeved in november but my surgeon says he feels I need a little more time for healing from having my lapband removed in aug which i did have alot of scar tissue! Im dissapointed but this is the way im looking at it is My surgeon is a awesome man and I know he knows whats best for me and besides that Its all in Gods timing which i know he comes first and he's the boss ! What is that saying all good things come to those who wait???

thank you gmanbat you have done so good you look great

Good for you and i like that you've put God first Because with out him none of this would be possible keep up the good work sounds like your doing awesome!

Congrats you look amazing!

she needs to read your memory verse at the bottom and trust in the lord

I did the same thing on the day of my surgery and i did cry because i felt i had work so hard and then it was being took away from but then again i was very hormonal cause mother nature come a day after my surgery so it wasnt a very good time
