I am pre-op and just finished my last nutrition class and psych appt. I hope to have a surgery date soon... Anyone else sleeving in Jersey?? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

@ fat too fabulous, I'm starting my pre op diet Monday 3/13, what about you?

How are you feeling since surgery?

I have a mandatory pre-op class 3/10, and an endoscopy procedure 3/17. I won't meet with my nutritionist again until after surgery. I started this process in September, psych appointments, cardiologist, pulmonologist, PCP, blood work, ultrasounds, so glad that part is done!

Sleeve twins!! I'm March 27th too!![emoji126]?[emoji136]?[emoji322]

March 27th!!!

Have you joined any support groups? They help with the good and the bad and can help talk you through your anxiety! I'm up 3/27, and am already nervous but looking for a healthier slimmer me!

I'll have my surgery 3/27.. very nervous! I will be at Virtua Voorhees. I'm glad u r doing well and that all is going good!

How are you? I see you should have had your surgery a few days ago. I hope all is well!!

I see so many of us share the same fears, complications and/or not waking up. I'm a single mother of four, two are basically grown the other two, not so much. I lost my husband almost 13 years ago, so my fears are exasperated by the thought that they will have no parent left is something goes horribly wrong. But I've researched the stats, and the pros outweigh the cons and I put my faith in God that the worse case scenario will not happen. We all want to be healthy, so we are taking steps to be so.

Have you ever had a surgical procedure before? That is kinda of scary...I'm still waiting for paper submission to my insurance and hopefully I will have a date. And better to wait another week and be safe! Prayers with you! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I am definitely going with the sleeve, the least evasive. Your weight loss is awesome! I was nervous about the surgery, but the nervousness went away since it's taking so long for my papers to be submitted to insurance. I'm sure once the dust settles down, I'll be nervous again, nervous and excited that is Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

How are you doing 10 months out? I'm planning on the sleeve but I understand you lose more via RNY. Do you mind if I ask how much you have loss? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Awesome, Congrats!! I started my process in September as well, with Virtua Voorhees. I'm waiting for insurance now, and hoping to have a date soon!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm Camden County as well! Where's your seminar and have you chosen a Dr. yet? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Awesome!! So glad your recovery is good! I'm so nervous about that part. I hear so many different stories, some good and some bad. But it depends on the person so I'm trying not to think about it because I'm going through with it regardless. I hope I'll be surprised like you about the pain!!

I know your excited! Can't wait til I get my date! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm using Dr. Acholonu. My surgery should be in Voorhees, it's closer to where I live. I'm assuming you go to the support group in Moorestown because I know that support group day has passed for January, but there's also a support group the 19th in Voorhees, I will be going to that one. I'm nervous and excited, but thanks to BariatricPal, I see there's a lot of us out here going through and who have gone through this process. I love to read about their experiences, the good and the bad, to help prepare myself. The 19th will be my first support group. I plan to continue going to them after surgery because I know there's strength in numbers, and I'm sure I will need that support! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm going through Virtua as well, due to some confusion, I still have to get my physicians letter and then my info will be submitted to insurance... Which Dr. are you using? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm glad everything went well and that your recovery so far is good!!! Can't wait til I get my date!

Kittykatlover, How has you're post op been? Has it been hard to watch what your eating? How about weight loss. I don't have a date yet, they should be ready to submit my papers to insurance so I can join the losers. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
