So many great forums and groups to link up with I’m new and already a little addicted to this app as well as everyone’s story and journey. My journey began early January and my projected surgery date is in May. I love to link up with others who are dates are close to mine just to encourage each other. I’ve already talk to some awesome people in my short time on here. I started vlogging my journey on YouTube right from the beginning so if anyone is interested check it out https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCoDS8UYKi9Wu1__0j9qJ8rA I plan to continue sharing up to and well after surgery all my feelings and experiences. Hopefully it helps someone like me or not like me at all. I’m So happy for everyone taking charge of their lives! We are incredible people.

Hey guys I had surgery on Friday and it’s been tough but thanks for everyone’s support. My sleeve sister@bgrundee and I are both trying to get through first few days of post-op. Different experiences but some things very similar... please keep us in your prayers. I vlogged my surgery day and hospital stay up until release so go check it out on you tube. Here is the link to my page https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCoDS8UYKi9Wu1__0j9qJ8rA?app=desktop&persist_app=1&noapp=1 You May have to copy and paste. It’s everything I could video in the raw. I will check in later trying to keep it together and get the fluids in is really tough.

Ahhhh got me blushing all early in the morning [emoji4][emoji4][emoji4] thanks so much!! Same to you

Lol I know right!! I started my pre op diet last week. They had me started because they were confident I was going to get approved even though I was all stressed!!

My approval came in today!! I was soooo happy!! It only took 7 days!! Soooo yesss I am still on for May 11th. I have a pre op appointment on Monday. We are almost there

My surgery date is May 11th as well!! We submitted for insurance and waiting on approval!! I pray my date sticks!!! I’m super stoked for you [emoji4][emoji4][emoji23]

I have a history of horrendous cycles and I have an appointment Monday to finally get an IUD (Mirena). I told my surgeon of my plan at our first initial appointment and he said it would not be a concern. I’m really hoping this is the answer to all the issues I have with my cycle but at the same time I don’t want any interference with my Weight loss/VSG process. Just wondering if any of you ladies who have or have had IUD notice any changes since surgery. Should I wait to get the IUD til afterwards or go with my initial plan? I figure if my surgeon isn’t concern I shouldn’t be but I can’t help but wonder anyway.

Congratulations and welcome!! Keep us posted on your journey we love to see how everyone is doing! It’s so amazing to have people from all over the world with the same passion and journey. I’m in Jacksonville, Fl for those who don’t know and my surgery will be at Memorial Hospital. I opened up the April/May forum because my surgery date is expected end of April or early May. I can’t wait to get on here and let everyone know my true date soon as I found out. I’m vlogging my journey on YouTube for anyone interested (just copy and paste url in browser) https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCoDS8UYKi9Wu1__0j9qJ8rA Welcome Welcome Welcome we are all so amazingly fabulous for our decisions to change our life!

I’m excited for you! I Think we all have done our fair share of research and some lol. Now it’s just the waiting game and preparing. As much as I think I’m ready I’m sure there will be some stumbling blocks along the way but I know all our journeys will be different. That’s part of the reason why I vlog on YouTube because Id like to go back to see where I am now and where I’m going to be a year from now. Best wishes

Awesome I’m super excited and so ready too!! Time seems to moving so slow lol My surgeon is Dr. John Deperi. Thanks so much

I’m having my surgery at Memorial in May. I wanted to know if you can tell me if they provide private recovery rooms after surgery? I’ve heard some hospitals have you sharing rooms with other Bariatric patients.

Okay [emoji4]

How are you feeling? Better yet what’s your channel? I’m vlogging my journey as well. I haven’t had surgery yet but you guys can definitely check me out and follow my journey. I try to post videos once or twice a week on my progress. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCoDS8UYKi9Wu1__0j9qJ8rA you may have to copy url in a webpage

Congratulations on your approval!! I know you are excited! Join our April/May group as well we have a lot of people with surgery around that time. May 10th is my anniversary so I’m hoping mine is a few days before or even after lol keep us posted on your journey

Yes you are prepared lol!! So excited for you! Let us know if the liquid diet is challenging for you! Wow 30 days you will be sure to drop some kg/lbs with that time.

Everything will be okay. Sending prayers your way! Keep us posted

You are right this is a very serious process and the effort that we are putting ourselves through to go through it is the real deal! We have to give support to each other and in some situations tough love. Just because the sacrifices are nothing to play with and the amount of money, time and emotional energy itself is a lot. There are some forums specifically for those who are seeking information or the interest alone in the surgery and that may be a better place to find the answers to the questions being ask. Not to say we won’t help but this one is more so for those who are already in the program and are having surgery around the same time (April/May) so we can share our journey and support each other. However, with all that being said I recommend her and anyone seeking information to contact your local Bariatric Center and go to a seminar these are no cost to you. They are set up to help you understand the basics. Good luck to everyone and I hope this is something we don’t have to continue to address. Let’s continue to support and keep it positive

Yayyy look at you!!! So exciting!!

Yayyyy very exciting!!! Keep us updated on your progress!!

Yayyyy that’s exciting [emoji4][emoji4]

I agree you definitely want to stay away from that. If you are looking for different options, there are definitely great ways to make good tasting smoothies on your own that are actually good for you.

Yayyyyy you better do it!!!!! It’s definitely getting real!!

Heyyyy you’re welcome!! Glad you picked them Up they are definitely great meal replacements. I have one for breakfast because I normally skip breakfast and it was a good option to keep from overeating at lunch. I’m sooooo happy for you!! Your surgery date is super close! I’m thinking like you...preparing myself as much as possible!
