I have an appointment October 2nd with my pcp to get a referral for my consultation appointment October 12th. I really really really and did I mention REALLY want this? I've done all of my research and even have a couple of friends who have done it and are so happy with the results. I have three small kids ages 4, 3, and 1. I want to do this for my health and my kids. I hope I can get this done before the year is over.

I live in Tampa Florida but my procedure will be done in Plant City, FL. My surgeon the head surgeon and he will be using the da Vinci robotic device for surgery. I'm very confident in my surgeon but I'm still scared. I keep telling myself that the good outweigh the bad and the longer I remain morbidly obese the sooner I may die and not see my three small children again. If you don't mine me asking, why did the lapband fail? I didn't choose it because I didn't want something left inside my stomach. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Awesome! I have to start mine August 5th (liquid diet) are you allowed to have certain raw veggies? I'm allowed but that's it other than certain liquids and of course sugar free Jello, pudding and yogurt. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Do you have to be on a liquid diet before hand? I'm scared too..I know how you feel. I'm not scared of the pain. I'm afraid of being under and the risk of complications Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

My pre-op appointment is on July 25th unless there is a cancellation and the lady who I spoke with said my surgeon is really good with setting appointments two weeks after pre-op appointment so we'll see once I see him on the 25th. Hopefully someone cancels and I'll come in sooner lol. Do you have a surgery date? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Sounds great, good luck! Mine is on August 1st. I met the all the goals and requirements in April, and they were already booked until August! Apparently the surgeon doesn't have many surgery days. It's been a long wait trying to stay good! Sent from my SM-G920V using the BariatricPal App It sure has been a long wait but we are almost at the end! I'm assuming that I'll have surgery in August as well. Crossing my fingers that someone cancels though lol. Either way I'm so happy! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I started this process October 2015. When I completed the steps that were required by my insurance company and my surgeon then my surgery packet was submitted to my insurance company..it took a week and a day for an approval. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I think you should have a sleep study done just in case. Ask to have an at home sleep study. I did because it was more convenient for me and it's cheaper for the insurance company. I have sleep apnea and I got a mask that was comfortable for me (nasal mask) I didn't like the other mask that covered nose and mouth I felt like I was suffocating lol.

Family is messy. I've had family (my children's family from their fathers side) say that they hope that I stay fat or that I'll just gain all of the weight back after surgery. They can't stand it when I become successful in anything. But they consider me "family" smh. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
