Oh I thought you already had the sleeve done..... -
My stomach dropped when I read this news. I will be praying diligently for you!!! Have they found out what stage it is? What type it is etc??? Girl think positive thoughts as much as possible! My dad found his cancer early and they treated it! He's been cancer free for 20 years now you CAN beat it!!!!

Wow. Reading all of this I'm speechless and afraid. Insurance has approved me for surgery. Haven't made a decision yet, I thought I was 100% sure until I read ...above. -

Agreed. I've had 4 c sections and a lower body lift. The lower body lift almost killed me but it was worth it. Hoping to get my sleeve soon... -
I hope you feel better :-(

Oh yes it helps ALOT!!! However the Bariatric Coordinator who said I was approved told me the entire process happens in 6-8 weeks...is that a valid statement because everything you just described seems like it's going to take months! Do you think he exaggerated when he said 6-8 weeks!? -

It's amazing how the pictures look like two different people. I know gaining weight has changed my looks so much I can't wait to lose again. -

YOU LOOK AH MA ZING!!!!!!!! -
Well it's all a part of the "protocol". After I do the 3 hour seminar and 1 support group meeting then they will schedule me with the surgeon, psych eval and then move Onto labs, tests and EKG etc. but the coordinator told me the entire process from start to finish is 8 weeks. So I started August 1st and really wanting to get the surgery done by October. Keeping my fingers crossed.
-
Praying for you!!!! I have my first seminar and support group coming in the next two weeks and then psych eval/labs/tests next. Please pray for me too!
