Ok... on the “lighter” side of things... just in case anyone was wondering... when you are having an ECG, if you push your spanx-like undergarment (addicted) down onto your hips and it’s all bunched up and really tight across your hips, it WILL interfere with your ECG receptors on your legs. (insert mortified face here). One step closer to being ready...

Thanks so much Lynn that’s great to hear! I’m excited and terrified. I’ll be flying there as well and I’ll be on my own so just beginning to figure out logistics, hotels etc. Congrats on your weight loss so far - looks like you’re off to an amazing start!!

Would love to hear more about your experience. I’m scheduled with Dr. Cobourn in October!

Single parent here too... going to be some logistics gymnastics to make it all work but I’m pretty determined :). Scheduled for Oct 18.

Just added a countdown app to my phone - 44 days!! Looking forward to sharing the journey :)

Thanks for this - very helpful! I’m also self pay with the full blessing of my PCP based on my history/family history. I’m scheduled for VSG on Oct 18 with an ecg and first appointment with psychologist over the next few weeks. My surgeon didn’t actually require (or even suggest) the psych evaluation/ support but so far I have opted not to tell anyone about my upcoming surgery and know that I’ll need to build a different kind of support system! Thanks again for sharing your experience - congratulations on your progress so far and good luck with those remaining 15!

I was happy to find this thread. BMI 35 and scheduled for VSG October 18. Any updates from those of you who had surgery earlier this year?

October 18th VSG for me - and finally time to add my first post :)
