Yeah insurance companies all have their hoops we need to jump through before they will allow us to finally get healthy after years of struggling. I’m so excited to be meeting all my surgery buddies 😊

Hey y’all, I had my first initial consult in July and I have to do 6 nutrition appointments before surgery. Should be having surgery (RNY) in January as well.

46 yrs old, I live in Virginia and I will be having gastric bypass sometime in January

Me too lol

I’m the same way, I hate being in pictures and I dream of being 125 lbs. I’m nervous and scared about surgery but I just keep pushing forward to a fresh brand new me.

I am at the very beginning of my journey. I just had my consult for gastric bypass surgery last Wednesday and already have my consult appointment for my endoscopy and my first nutrition appointment scheduled for next week. I love reading all the posts and seeing all the success stories! I will be posting my journey along the way. I have to have 6 months of nutrition classes as one of my insurance requirements, so I should be ready for surgery by January. Any and All advise is welcome 😊❤️

Hey y’all, so I’m reading over the findings from my EGD that was done this morning. It says I have a small hiatal hernia and that I have mild erosive gastritis. I don’t know anything about erosive gastritis, do y’all have any knowledge about this??? Also, I went into this procedure feeling fine and I woke up constantly sneezing and feeling like I have a cold. I have sneezed so much that my nose is now raw! Could that be a side affect of the anesthesia that they gave me? I just wish I could stop sneezing, lol.

Well here goes to checking off another box in this process. I am getting ready to have my EGD this morning. If only this was the big day so I could get it over with lol 😊

Sending prayers for a speedy recovery.

You look beautiful!!! I’m so happy for you 😊😊

Congratulations!!! You’re doing a awesome job!!! Can’t wait to join you

Hello everyone! I just finished my 2nd dietician class and I’m scheduled for my EGD on the 28th. I’m so excited and wish I could fast forward to the big day 😊

I haven’t had my surgery yet but have taken Linzess in the past because the diet pills I was taking constipated me. Linzess did wonders but I’m wondering if it’s affect is different post- op

Congratulations 🎈🎊🎉 I am so happy for you!!!

Look great!!!

I’m still very early in my Gastric Bypass process. I was so excited, then I visited my friend today in the hospital. She just had gastric sleeve done July 5, she had a leak and was sent home anyway. A week or so later she started feeling very sick, running a fever and having shortness of breath. She was taken to the hospital where she found out she was in septic shock. 2 stents and 2 drains later and almost dying she is on tube feeds for the next 8-12 weeks but slowly recovering. Now I’m second guessing myself about my decision to have the gastric bypass surgery done. I’m not posting this to scare any other new comers, I’m just genuinely freaking out and looking for some advice. Any and all advise is much appreciated 😊
