Nice what a great way to bring in the new year. Congratulations

You are very welcome I'm glad I could help. You are right there is no stopping you especially when you remember why you started your journey in the first place. Reach out anytime you feel like you need to😉

Hello. It's been a long 9 months for me as well. I started my journey in January with my first appointment with my surgeon. I think anytime someone has elective surgery there is always the question of are you doing the right thing. I just try to think of the positive things that brought me to this point. Losing weight, feeling better about myself, being able to do the things I use to do without pain, hopefully preventing future issues and diseases associated with being over weight etc. Everyones experience is their own you have to remember that. Just because something happened to them or they felt a way doesn't not mean that will happen to you. Maybe it's just that the long process derailed your excitement maybe or gave you time to second guess your self. I've had friends do this surgery and all I can say is it gave them their life back. They are half the person they were literally and have been living their best life ever since. With all this being said if you still feel conflicted maybe you should consider postponing your surgery in order to give this more thought and do some soul searching. This is after all a major decision and should be regarded as such. Otherwise good luck and congratulations on the 17th 😁

Oh wow it's this week. Congratulations and good luck. I'm nervous too but I'm more excited to begin the journey. Everything will be fine.

Yay congratulations 🤗

Oh wow you getting both things done at the same time. I had several friends who had their bands removed. Everything is going to be fine...

Ok ok lol. Actually I dont have a choice my surgeon says its mandatory.

Wow that's scary. After hearing your story I'm glad I'm getting the injections. You've made me look at it completely different. Thank you for sharing your story

Yes I am as well. Good luck with everything this week 😁

This week how exciting. Congratulations

At first I wasn't happy but I got over it relatively quickly. Yes this process started in January for me. My insurance company had all these requirements that needed to be met before they would consider approval. So I definitely feel you about feeling like its yesterdays news.

Thank you I hope so as well 😁

I'm so jealous that you dont have a preop diet. I wish that was my case as well. Lol

Hello. Wow that's crazy that yours was rescheduled as well. Still only a day apart funny. I start my preop diet on Friday what about you?

Congratulations. I start mine on Friday🤗

I'm sure you do especially since you dont have a choice lol. Thank you for the reply

Yes that's exactly what it is. My aunt who is diabetic said the same thing about needle size. I hope so. Still not looking forward to having to inject myself rather swallow a pill. Lol. It is what it is I guess. Just part of the journey. Thank you for your response....

Oh my so sorry to hear you had blood clots after surgery. How did you find out that you had them? My friend is a nurse and she said she will stop by and give me the shot if I'm too much of a baby to give it to myself lol.

I hope your memory serves you correct and they don't hurt that much not that I have much of a choice. I have to do those for 10 days regardless. Thank you for your response 😊

Oh this coming week how exciting. Congratulations 👏🏼

From your mouth to Gods ears I hope so. I'm definitely committed to following the program. I'm sure your weight loss will continue as long as you continue to do what you've been doing. I'm nervous but also very excited😊

Omg those numbers are amazing congratulations. I hope to be as successful as you are. 😊

Yay...👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

That's a great idea I may just do the same thing

So happy for you I look forward to doing the same 😊
