i am July 1. And it's going to be a journey. This morning my family went to breakfast and I chose to stay. I'm just not mentally able to not eat something. The shake was good and I had lots of water. It is getting easier.

I feel like I could eat my neighbors!! I was fine until today. I'm sure it's psychological. On Friday nights we usually go out to dinner and tonight that can't happen. Although I've been preparing for these days by minimizing my food intake and managing to lose 19lbs before my pre op. It's still hard. Or shall I say torture. Need to up in some water and have some more yummy broth. Lol. Anyone have any helpful hints besides telling me it'll be worth it?

What??!!! What insurance did you have if you don't mind sharing? That is great for you!!!Bcbs. And they are picky as well. I am 10 days from surgery!! Best of luck ladies and many blessing to you!

I know I'll get used to it. I think I need to get more of a variety. Maybe some other type of broth. Spice it up.

Yes I have can. I just feel like I'm not getting enough in. And I'm not because it's all gross. Lol

I am in north Phoenix and the bridges support groups are during my work hours and way far. If anyone knows of something up north let me know. 10 more days til surgery!!!

ISO: Phoenix support groups I have surgery scheduled for 7/1. I wanted to meet with a local support group. Any suggestions? Thanks

I am in day 3 and you guys give me hope. I feel like I need food. I know it's all in my head ! 10 more days til surgery for me!!Best of luck to you guys!!!

Thank you!! I'm beyond excited!!

I was approved at 37.5 with zero cm's. You'd be surprised. You have a greater chance than I did.

I am 5'2 in Arizona. I will be sleeved 7/2

Congratulations!!! Dr. Juarez at bridges is performing mine!

Everyone looks so amazing!!!

I'm so excited!!! Thank you for the info

Hi there. I'm in Phoenix. I'm scheduled to be sleeved July 9th by Dr. Juarez at St. Luke's.

Thank you!! Xoxoxoxox

I have the same insurance as you. And just two doctors notes from the past two years one from 2013 and one from 2014 showing your weight at the time of the visit

My insurance covers it at 80%

No pre op diet. I had to get a psych and nutrition eval and provide 2yrs of medical records.

Pre op tomorrow. Excited and eager!!!!

You look amazing!!! I'm getting my procedure in July. Inspirational!!

Good luck!! I'm in Phoenix. Who's doing your surgery??

I went to Bridges. I'm having it done by Dr. Juarez at St. Luke's.

My pre op appointment is scheduled for this Thursday. I am beyond excited to get this started. I defiantly don't have the support from my husband. He thinks I'm going to regret it and that ivdon't need the surgery. I am 5'3 218lb and a size 16. That doesn't sound like a healthy fit 39 year old to me. I have STRUGGLED with my weight since I can remember. The only time I was under 140 was in high school. I'm convinced my new start may intimidate him. And that's not something I need to worry about. I need this! Is anyone else having these issues. Or gone thru this without a spouses blessing? I mean, what are they afraid of? I want to be happy, healthy and have confidence.
