Awesome Bianca (waving at you) hello surgery sister. My surgery is 10am. I meet with the surgeon August 1st.

Thank you ValerieInMexico ☺️ I love this forum. I’ve learned so much from here. And I’m inspired by so many here. I love seeing their progress and even the pitfalls that are posted are learning opportunities

I just got my RNY surgery date for August 19th and my insurance approved me early. I’m in TOTAL SHOCK and almost in tears. I’m in month 4 of 6. And now it finally feels real. Finished up with pre-surgery registration today. I see my surgeon for pre-op appointment 8/1 and then next is 8/19 SURGERY DAY.... I feel like shouting from a roof because I’m just that darn happy (but I’m not). Only 2 people know about it. ☺️☺️☺️ I was so anxious I blew through all of my clearance visits in 3 months.... my doctor said “YOU ARE MY ROCKSTAR PATIENT” 😃😁

I’m on month 4 of 6 of my insurance required visits. No surgery date set yet but hoping for late September or October. Not a day goes by that I don’t do at least one of the following... research online, watch YouTube Bariatric videos or browse here and several Facebook groups. I’m pretty anxious now. I originally started the process 4 years ago but only went as far as the first visit. I felt surgery was too drastic at the time and I thought I could lose the weight on my own. After many ups and downs (biggest loss of 50 pounds) and gaining it all back my pcp referred me to a weight management center. I feel comfortable with the staff/doctor. I hope the remaining months go by fast. I’ve never ever wanted summer to be over with. Lol.

You look amazing. You’re my inspiration. Thank you for giving a newbie hope. I’m pre-op going on month 3 of 6.... Oh and it’s my first time posting here. 3 more months to go feels like eternity to me.
