Me three

Sorry for not updating soon! I've been kind of out of it. I'm doing good.. the pain is tolerable. They took me off morphine a few hours ago. I am took my third walk about an hour ago.. about to take another one. They say I might get to go home tomorrow. I even got motivated enough to straighten my hair. I am so ready for my new life! Congrad everyone!

Currently sitting in the waiting room..waiting to go into preop! So excited and nervous. GOODLUCK SURGERY BUDDIES<3

It's 2am and I'm yet to get any sleep. I have to be at the hospital at 11..my surgery is at 1. Goodluck to everyone else getting surgery today! We got this <3

go to gnc and try the gnc brand shake called Lean. I love it!!

I'm just now getting scared. I'm freaking out. I've been ready to back down about five times today.. my surgery is Tuesday! I've been so excited and ready for this up until this point. I know for a fact I want to do this and it's right for me..but danger I'm terrified.

My doctor didn't really tell me what to because bring

I'm starting to freak out a little

Four days! I'm so nervous. Any advice to calm my nerves?! Also what are you doing to prepare?

Thanks for all the advice! They're estimating I'll be there three days. Could I take my laptop?

Thanks! No clue why my phone put the extra because in there haha.

My date was changed to October 9th!

So I found out that i was approved recently.. bringing up lots of conversations about my surgery.. I've discovered a lot of people are saying negative things to me For example: Your tattoos are going to look bad you are going to get too skinny and look gross you are going to lose alllllll your boobs and all your butt you are going to look gross because you will have extra skin you might die it's dangerous i don't think you should " i know this person who got it and regretted it because she looks bad" So my question is.. How do i stay positive. All the things they say run through my mind and bring me down majorly. Of course all of this IS a concern of mine.. and them reminding me about it constantly is completely ruining the mood..

I'm trying to find a good one before surgery ( October 8th) .. what ones have you guys found to be decent. Needs to be more than 15 protein in it. I'm looking for a premixed one. Thanks in advance!

how much sugar does it have? my nutrionist said i should stay away from protein drinks with sugar.

thank you! Everyone keeps telling me i'm " not big enough" i'm 5'2 and i weigh 250 pounds.. what are they talking bout.. hahaha. & if i wasn't "big enough" i would have never got approved. I really don't care what i lose. I want to be confident. I want to be able to go shopping without being in tears because i hate how EVERYTHING looks on me.

I'm so excited. Any tips or advice?

October 8th! How do I make a display picture on the app? .. they submitted it yesterday, approved yesterday. I cried I was so excited

I got my surgery date! It's October 8th.. if I get approved. My surgery will be in Pittsburgh with Dr anita Corculous ( not sure of spelling ) it's upmc magees woman hospital. I have upmc insurance and they told me it's covered with her at that facility. So am I automatically approved or what? I don't get it. I'm more nervous about not getting approved than surgery .

Well I haven't finished my six month diet. That's why it hasn't been submitted for approval. However upmc told me it's covered.

No.. the insurance told me that about how it's covered with Anita at the woman's hospital. I just got my surgery date but they said that's if I am approved

Well the doctor had me call my insurance and that's what they told me

Before surgery

One question I haven't really seen addressed. Do tattoos look bad after weight loss? I have a huge tattoo on my chest and so many people keep telling me it will look bad after. Any one have before and after pics with tattoos?

Thank you! I hope it stays pretty!
