Good to hear you are doing well! Wishing you the best on your journey

Congratulations!

You will all do great! Good luck!

Thank you Missy for sharing your story. We can all get caught up in life and use it as an excuse but that ultimately gets us nowhere. I'm so glad that you are doing better and I wish you nothing but the best in the continuation of your healing and healthy journey.

Thanky you for sharing your story! I will keep this in mind when I am officially a bandster.

This is where they will take blood work and do the EKG. I had that done last week. It was the easiest part of this entire adventure LOL! I also hear what you are saying about window seats. I'd rather squish myslef over there then stick out into the isle!

Safe travels

You look amazing! Congrats!

I am June 26th, Good luck to you!!

Congratulations!

I am June 26th! I'm excited to find you all. I was only finding early June groups and they are so much further than where I am at. I am currently on a 10 day pre-op diet which is high Protein low carb. Basically I start by day with a Protein shake and then lean meat and fresh veggies for the other meals. I have to keep my calories in the 800 to 1,000, protein 80 to 90 grams and carbs no more than 130 grams. Good luck to all of you and I look forward to joining you on your journeys

This really helps my nerves!! I am scheduled for the 26th.

Hi Everyone, So I'm technically June but I'm hoping you'll let me slip into this group lol! All the June groups seem to be from people at the beginning of the month so they are way past where I am. I am scheduled June 26th which is exactly 7 months from when I went to my surgical seminar. I am on day 3 of a 10 day pre-op diet. I don't have to do liquid thank goodness. I am on a high protein/low carb diet. My caloreis have to be wihin 800 - 1100, carbs I can go up to 130 grams and Protein has to be between 80 and 90 grams. I look forward to following your journeys Wendy

Congratulations on taking the first step! I am a week away from my surgery and I can tell you the time does go fast. I started my journey 7 months ago. You may have requirements from your insurance carrier. Those are what make the time fly by. Good luck and keep us posted!

Good Luck!!

I'm wishing you the best! My surgery is on the 26th. Let us know how you are doing.

I am on mine for 10 days. I'm currently on day 3 and today is much easier than the first 2. Hopefully I see that continue for the rest of the days! Good luck on your journey!

I'm on day 2 of my 10 day pre-op diet. I am on a high protein low carb. I'm scheduled for June 26th. I drink a protein shake for breakfast, a meal replacement for lunch and I have a lean mean with vegetables for dinner. I can only have 1 serving of fruit per day which is a snack. Good luck with your journey!

It will be 7 months from the surgical seminar and 6 months from the consult with the surgeon. I had my consult in December and my surgery is scheduled for June 26th. I had a 3 month requirement from my insurance but there were a few bumps and it took 1 month to receive approval so the 3 months quickly doubled. My progam would not schedule surgery until I had approval. My biggest pice of advice is just be patient. The time does fly because you are busy with appointments.

Best of luck to you! Keep us posted on how you are feeling after.

I have Aetna and it took exactly 1 month.

Congratulations on your loss so far! I know that self image is a very difficult thing to change. You just need to remember how far you have come in your journey and who you are is not only about a number.

I was on B12 shots for years because I was found to have a B12 deficiencie and it did noting to assist me in loosing weight.
