Hey y'all! My surgery is scheduled July 29th I'm SO excited!!! I'm 24 years old and have lived in Houston, Tx all my life really! Just lookin for people close by to potentially work out with after surgery or just be in contact with for support! I'm on Facebook and Instagram as well!

So I've been on my 2 week liquid diet since last Monday 7/15 and at first it was super freakin hard and way emotional. By day 3 I just felt normal feeling crazy so it got a little better. I started reading around that some people have NO pre op diet, or have a high protein pre op diet and couple days liquid, some only have 3 days liquid the situations were none of the same. I got super frustrated and started eating baked chicken at night aka just ate high protein foods then I started freakin out knowing I wasn't obeying my docs rules so I stopped and went back to just liquids. I haven't been good with my shakes. They make me sick my stomach gets sooo upset. Anyways. Last night I cheated big time had sushi! Ugh. I'm just frustrated and confused because how in the world is my doctor to know my liver size so how will he know its shrunk or not?! I've lost 15 pounds in over a week even with cheating soooo I hope it's all good surgery day. Lol. I figure if I'm losing and I've cheated at least I've lost and my liver is shrinking. Right? Thoughts? Help lol.

Yikes no need to be rude about anything....

Mine is next Monday!!!!! 7/29!!! Yay!

I love Instagram!!! I've found so many ppl havin been sleeved on there!! Here's my username ht0wnkay

Yay I finally (and by finally I mean HOLY MOTHER FINAFREAKINLY) got approved for my surgery!!!! I started this process July 25th LAST YEAR and I finally am gettin it done!! I'm soo excited. I almost gave up hope thinking I would never get approved but right when I was over it I got a letter in the mail from Cigna sayin they approved!!! Keep me in your prayers please ???????? I'm soooo excited !!!!

Hey yall!! I think my biggest fear or what I'm most hesitant ab regarding this surgery is to have all this extra loose skin hanging. I keep hearing people say 'Oh you're 23? You'll snap right back no problems' but i guess I was wondering and hoping for some legitimate clarification. What do yall do to prevent the excess skin and are their ppl around my age who didn't have a problem and DID snap right back?? Thanks

Hey yall! Was wondering if there's any people in Houston, TX doing this surgery! I'm about to finish all the classes and labs for surgery and will be submitting to Cigna ay the end of the month!! Sooo excited!

I'm down!!!

Good luck

I know where Dayton is for sure.

I'm so excited I met with Dr Yu here in Houston yesterday and i have all my nut classes set up as well as my psych eval. I'm so ready to get this ball rolling! I'm so thankful for this app gettin to read all of yalls journeys has been so encouraging!! I've been told that if all goes well with Cigna (fingers super crossed) I could be sleeved as early as October! Also, a little fun and amazing thing I learned yesterday with JUST giving up cokes I've lost 10 pounds in a couple weeks!!! Yay! Anyways thanks for reading this if you did and best of luck to everyone
