Good. I'm 18 months out and maintaining

She's great!!!

I had my surgery at Newton Wellesley in May. Loved it!!!

Thanks everyone!!! @VSG AJH - my surgeon put me on a blood thinner for a month post-op. I also swim for exercise.

I'm 10 weeks out and am finding myself able to eat less and less. Still struggling with nausea too. Feeling down.

Thanks! I'll call tomorrow. I'm also finding myself struggling with water and getting dehydrated.

Thanks! I'm definitely not getting in my protein. Literally the only thing I can get in is soup, mostly broth.

I'm 6 weeks out and an having lunch at the Cheesecake Factory later this week. Looking for ideas on what to order. This will be my first dinner out post sleeve.

Thanks for the ideas!

Thanks for the ideas! Unfortunately, I'm not a seafood fan.

Tomorrow is the big day!!! At this time tomorrow, I'll be getting sleeved!!! EEEK! So excited and so nervous!

I'm getting sleeved tomorrow. In January, when I began the process, I weighed 186.7. As of Saturday (two days ago), I weigh 171.2. I am 4'11".

Probably! I didn't have a two year medical history really and was fine!

I have BCBS federal and was approved within three days!!

Thanks and good luck to all of us!!!

My surgery is scheduled for May 21st. Pre-op diet starts on Tuesday. I am so excited, so anxious, so nervous...and a million other feelings!!!

I told my family today that I'm having surgery on May 21. Although initially supportive, my mother has apparently done some "reading" and wonders why I'm not having lap band instead. Is there any info out there that I can share with her?

Thanks everyone! I feel confident in my decision and just hope she'll come around. In the meantime, I'll suggest she check out the forums.

Both insurances (Federal BCBS and MassHealth) have approved me and my surgery is scheduled for May 21! Now I am freaking out! An absolute bundle of nerves. I still need to tell people (the only person who knows is my boyfriend)! I need to tell my family but don't know when. Friday is my sister's graduation and Sunday is Mother's Day. I don't want to steal anyone's deserved attention. Do I tell them now or wait until next week? Help!!!

My information was submitted to insurance on 4/30 and approved 5/3 (BCBS) and 5/6 (MassHealth). My surgery is scheduled for 5/21 at Newton Wellesley Hospital. Yikes!!!
