Thank you for posting this! I am getting my sleeve on Nov 6th and I was saying how infertility meds and PCOS have destroyed me and all the efforts I did to get pregnant, how losing weight never worked, I was worried about the sleeve working, but I need to give something a chance... your comment was just what I needed to see! Hope you are doing well on your journey!

This is such great thread, and I just wanted to say the last lines of this post about discovery and learning really is resonating with me, I am in prepping stages and reading about what everyone is experiencing, and I just think this is what it is about so thank you!

Good morning everyone! We are one week closer to getting our sleeves complete!!! I have my appointment with nutrition tomorrow to talk about every thing and get my follow up plans and Saturday I got my official surgery paper work complete with two week pre op prep directions it felt so so so real!!! And I have to say it looks manageable. 4 shakes and veggies a day, plus a handful of fruit and a boat load of water... I got so excited I ordered a few shakes to sample already! Any one else? What are your goals this week? mine in addition to trying some shakes is to walk 20 minutes to 30 minutes outside... if I walk my development twice it will give me a mile... every step counts!

My request was denied in under a day lol, but my insurance is not united health care, my insurance is not covering my surgery I will be self pay, but it is not unreasonable, and also my Dr. Called me before hand and explained that they knew I would be denied but still was willing to try for medical necessity and gave the insurance a dummy date. If I had comorbidities I think I would have been approved, I will say this that I also waited to submit for everything until after I had completed the Psych portion, I feel that is a key component. Send it in, and get to know your scheduler where you are planning to be seen they can help you every step of the way weither insurance covers or not. GOOD LUCK Though!

OMG!! LOVE THIS COUNT ME IN! lets all plan to post a pic of this crazy day a year from now all of us crossing our legs at an amusement park I love this idea so so much!

Literally been there in real life I tried to take my daughter on a peek a bug ride... I had to get off with then crying daughter with everyone watching I totally went 50 shades of red, we left the entire park mostly I felt awful for my daughter who just couldn't understand at the time... I owe it to her and my husband to be the best I can for them and to overall be here right! We are all so close... and it is great to be able to share with people who get it!

I agree I am so used to trying to hide when I walk in a room, but so clumsy I usually trip walking in... but it would be refreshing to feel that confidence of I am here!

Hi! There are a few of us early in the month so we can all prep together!

YES!! This would be great!

So I think we all know we are here to lose weight and begin this journey... for me I need to be healthy again, but what are you looking forward to the most... I keep talking about being active again with my husband and things I look forward to doing with my daughter but really deep down no joke, I will be excited to tie my shoes without feeling like I am going to roll forward and pass out... how about you guys what is that one thing that really keeps you determined? I know the hard work we have been doing to get to this point it is with in reach and I am so so so excited and ready!

I am here November 6th as well! Good luck to us all!

congrats and happy 60!
