Hello everyone, my name is JoAnna, I'm 25yrs old and I've been following this forum for about a month since my doctor recommended a bariatric forum in his seminar. I've been reading everyone's success stories from beginning to end, reading from those who's had surgery, those preparing for surgery and all the information in between to educate myself. I've had all of my pre-procedure appointments and after a slight delay from my insurance (because I have hypothyroidism and they wouldn't give approval until my thyroid was back in normal range) the bariatric people called yesterday telling me I'm approved and I'm scheduled to have the VSG this Wednesday Nov 23rd! I'm excited but not nervous yet (I probably will be the day of though). Anyways my start weight was 288lbs and since October 14th when my doctor put me on his diet of breakfast: 1egg, 1toast lunch & dinner: lean cuisine, smart ones or Atkins, I've lost 17lbs in a month, which I never thought I could do. I've already picked up my first batch of Vitamins, Protein shakes, liquids and soft foods I'll need for after surgery and the following couple weeks. I can't wait! I'm very excited for this life changing, lifesaving, lifestyle change. Sent from my SamsungGalaxy using BariatricPal App
