Yay!! congrats!

It will happen!! That's what I keep telling myself. I have been waiting for a date since Feb. 8th. My surgeon is backed up, I have no other choice but to wait!! It's hard... trust me I'm there with you. Stay strong!

Congrats on getting your date!!

just wondering if you have Kaiser, what made you have the procedure in Mexico. I'm just wondering as I have Kaiser also and have been considering Mexcio because of my waiting time since approval. I was approved in Feb. and still have not got my date. Was this your issue also, just wondering?

congrats, it will be here before you know it!

congrats to both of you!!

Welcome to the board. I have a almost little to no encouragement also, but I will not let that stop me. I want to be at a healthier weight for me and my children. I want to be a better example of healthly living for my children. As far as my other half, I'm hoping he will follow my lead. I have already told him, I'm not cooking the same crap, so he better get use to the change now or he will be starving after surgery. I'm not putting myself in the space to fail at the sleeve. I have stopped cooking a lot of thing while I am waiting for my surgery date. He complained at first but know, he goes with the flow. I also tell him if you want it that bad cook it yourself or go out and get it. Most of the time he doesn't, food is his comfort (as it is mine) when things don't go his way. So I say lets talk about it instead of eating about it. I also get more support from my friends than family. Good luck and keep us posted.

Wow that's great!! Happy for you!!

Happy for you!! July will be here before you know it!!

I see the changes in the cheeks for sure!! WTG keep it moving!!

I am happy for you and the 26th will be here before you know it. Good Luck!!

Good luck and keep us posted when you can.

I would ask if she is in the office, then when they transfer leave a nice message with all you contact numbers(also letting them know what number(s) it okay to leave a message on). The I would wait a day and a half for a call back if no response, I would call back to see if someone is assisting her on scheduling because you have waiting and heard nothing back yet. Good Luck keep us posted. I understand some of what you are going through, I was approved in Feb. and they said 4-6 month wait for a DATE then I heard 8-12 months for a DATE. I called a few times got no response. Then I called and said I need to comfirm information because I was going to self pay in Mexico if it was correct. Then I got a call back the same day! LOL

6 oz a day, I think you are lightheaded, because you need more, your are running on fumes. I would double check with your doctor and just make sure you heard them correctly. That is very little. Good Luck and keep us posted!

How much protien are you taking in, you just mentioned water intake.

Good luck to you!! I hope you get approval the first time and move forward with your date!! Keep us posted.

A good question, that I hadn't thought of! Thanks for posting

You have already come so far!! Just keep pushing forward, The preop diet will be over before you know it. Just think you are so close to what you have worked for your surgery. You made it thru the 5 months so you can make it thru the preop diet. I would love to be where you are right now, I was approved on 5th of Feb. and I'm still waiting for a date and have a few more months to wait. Good Luck!!

it depends on your insurance because some people have passed me with their process. I have kasier, I did 6 months with nutr, psy eval, sleep study and got approved in Feb. but I was told there is a 6 month wait for a date because they are short a surgeon. June 6 will be my 4th month of waiting for a date. But I did call last week to find out they have hired a new surgeon for the hospital I am assigned. So with two surgeons, I am hoping it will not be longer than 6 months of waiting.

You look great!! good luck with pushing forward for your personal goal!! I'm sure you will make it. WOW 32 to a 16 your my hero!

I would also wait until after you are at your goal weight, because of where you want it. I have some on my arms that I am sure are gonna look a little crazy after I start to shed pounds. Good LucK

congrats on your weight loss you look great... how many months out are you?

First thing first good luck to you. Do you have various flavors of protien available to you, bottled water, chicken broth. Most importantly a person to help you for the first day or so. But I think the list in pinned in pre or post-op sections. Good luck to you and keep us posted.

Good luck I hope it works out for you and you can move forward and keep you date! Keep us posted on what happens,
