Best wishes and best of vibes to you... will pray for a speedy recovery!!!

Current weight is 267 lbs.... surgery scheduled for 3/11... can't wait!!!

I am 34 and pre-op, my surgery is scheduled for March 11. I am super excited but also getting very nervous. I am not afraid of the surgery, I am scared to death about the new life coming my way. I am terrified about future regrets. I love food and completely understand that it will take a lot of time before I can have many things I now love. I am also concerned about the stages, I am sure instructions will be given and the doctors will be available for any questions I might have. I also find myself thinking about the surgery all the time. When is your surgery date? Good luck and best wishes on the new life!!!

My first visit to the doc (gastro) was because of a hiatal hernia, and then the doc suggested I get the sleeve to also start losing weight, as he could use the time in the OR to take care of both my problems (hernia and obesity). I went to another doctor, who is the best in town and he said because of my reflux (provoked by the hernia) he suggested the bypass, which would make the reflux go away. He also mentioned that many patients who decide for sleeve or lapband continue to suffer from reflux for even a year and sometimes they have to convert to bypass in the future. This is going to be the first surgery for me (never have had lap band). My surgery is scheduled for March 11. Good luck in your decision making....

Congrats!!!! I was also approved, I thought I was dreaming, it is not typical in Mexico for insurance companies to approve obesity surgeries but I was approved... My surgery date is 3/11. Good luck in yours, keep us posted on your progress.

Hi girls... my surgery date is March 11! I am super happy and excited but also getting nervous but I guess it's normal... it is major surgery and a complete change in my life, so I think being nervous is just normal!!! I am meeting the nutritionist on Monday. Good luck to you both!
