Could someone tell me what is the procedure like on the date of surgery, do they take blood test, urine, blood pressure etc?

Ok so I'm scheduled for surgery on June 23rd and am very excited and nervous also, one of my worries are that what if when I lose the weight my husband won't be attracted to me, now I've always been a big girl and he knew that of-course when he met me although I did put on 60lbs during the relationship but I still wonder if maybe the weight loss won't look good on me because I've always known myself to be big. I know my husband loves me for me and my personality and big heart but I still just wonder...... Does anyone else have this feelings? Please let me know!

Congrats hun, mines is the 23rd getting ready for the big day!

Thanks Ashley that helped! Im going to start packing my bag soon for the 23rd so you gave some good options!

Hey I'll be documenting my weight loss journey on Instagram, also for some funny and inspiration quotes and what not.... So follow if you'd like @mandie.de.lionne

I am scheduled for June 23rd if all goes accordingly! God willing! Good luck surgery buddies!!!

I thought id share this with you ladies having surgery soon! We ready to love our bodies or what???

Ok so here's mine lol 10. I would like to fit into normal size towels, pretty much only beach towels wrap all the way around 9. Wear nice panties and not have them roll under my stomach and constantly have to pull them up! 8. Walk into whatever nice store and shop in the regular side with all the nice clothes and feel good wearing them. 7. Walk confidently with my husband without worrying if ppl are thinking why is such a handsome man with that fat girl! 6. Not be the fat mom that picks up my child from school! 5. Having people take pictures of me and try to suck it in or lift my neck up so I don't look like a whale and have to tell them delete or never put on social media. 4. Wear a nice bathing suit, hopefully a semi 2 piece ( hey a girl can dream) and finally not feel so insecure at beaches or pools. 3. Feel secure that not everyone is staring at my stomach when I'm sitting down or walking down the street. 2. Ride bikes and be active. Rock climbing, horseback riding and of course ride my husband like a wild bull without breathing so hard and being tired lol. 1. Just feel beautiful in everything I do without feeling judged and walk with total confidence!!!

The colors represent a previvor where basically it runs in my family and I have chance of getting breast cancer but am declaring I'm a pre survivor

I believe you can go on the website also if you have access to the internet while there but if not just let us know how you are doing once your able to. It's good you have your friend to help you out also good luck hun!

I'm so glad to see so many of you are going to have surgery on June 23rd just like me! I'll keep you all posted! Make sure to do the same ladies! Good luck!

Congrats on the new you, I inspire to be very active after my surgery also bike riding, rock climbing... Hey they sky is the limit for us! Keep up the good work!

Congrats you look great! Enjoy the new you!

Yea it is all crazy and can be discouraging at times, but hopefully everything works out for you before September, I'm hoping at least before august for me, I'm scared also not so much for surgery but of the change it's a big change and I'm hoping I cope well with it! Keep me posted on your process I'm here if you need someone to talk to, or have any questions!

Hey Christy, yes they did get back to me and I'm already done with everything but I'm having some issues with my liver so I need a ct scan, so after I'm done with that I can call aj to finally get an appt set to see dr. Choi again phew! How is your process going??? Are you with dr. Choi?

Haven't been on here in a while just with life and all, I've pretty much completed everything except going for another endoscopy to see if my H. Pylori was cured and then I can finally sit down with someone to plan this date out.... I'm really crossing my fingers here! Been doing this since October and after all the running around I am more anxious than ever to get this over with and start my new life!

I have really been trying here! I wore the patches and tried those ecigs and now I'm on Zyban to help me quit... It just seems hopeless and it doesn't help that my fiancé smokes... I don't know exactly when is my surgery, hopefully feb/mar but I'm getting a lil head start just so I get healthy and lower my risk during surgery. I am really trying but after 10 years of smoking 100s cigarettes and never even had the desire to stop until now it just seems so hard... I dont know... Did anyone have any issues? If so how far before surgery did you try and stop?

Wow I am so sorry to hear about your niece, my condolences to you and your family! I don't blame you for smoking again, I would have to! I wish you all the strength you need to get through this rough time! I'm here if u need someone to talk to! Take care of yourself girl!

Wow I'm right there with you except I haven't even got my package to make any appts yet! Good luck keep us posted!
