Yea I’m really nervous about the anesthesia. But I’m sure it will be fine. People with really bad health issues do this surgery all the time. And I am blessed in the fact that I don’t have any health issues other than insulin resistance and pcos. And over weight. How long did the entire process take before u where able to see your family? Like from the surgery time and PACU time? Cause Snyder said our surgery takes him 35 minutes. Im such a control freak so it helps me to know each step 🤣 I have told my close friends and my close family. Some family I haven’t even told. Like a lot of my husbands side because they r in India. How is loose skin treating you? So my stats are 5’8” Highest weight 336 Current weight 275 ( I lost all the weight diet and exercise on my own without nutritionist etc got down to 230 then got pregnant) Goal weight 150-160 I started my journey for surgery Dec 7 so I have not been at it long. Even though I have looked into it for years. Even attended some classes at university in the past. My insurance is very lenient and don’t require much prep work.

Yea I totally Understand! I’m still trying to think of I am going to tell a lot of people or just keep it to myself? I am really private so I’ll probably just keep it to myself. If people ask I may share. Was this ur first surgery? I am really nervous about going under? I have never had surgery and I think I am mainly worried about the unknown. And not knowing what to expect.

Yes he said if anyone in the office give me problems txt him and he’ll get them straightened out LOL even though his whole staff is just so amazing and caring and they all have a life and passion for what they do!!! I’m so excited for my surgery Jan 14!!! I’m so ready!! Now just waiting lol

I actually go in to see him this morning at 10am to do an in body scan!! ☺️ me and my husband may also go with him because I have a 3 month old baby and he said I would be able to bring him with instead of leaving him in a gym daycare! So I really appreciate that

Yayyy he is my surgeon also!!! Yes very intelligent man!!! The best for sure!! I have surgery scheduled Jan 14. And I have no doubt I am in the best hands.

Idk if ur willing or able to travel but my surgeon has Patients fly from New York and even out of the country to see him. He fixes all the other surgeons mess ups. His name is Dr. Snyder Denver Bariatric. If it’s an option for you I would recommend getting into contact with his office. And at least getting a recommendation from him. O BTW I’m in Denver, Colorado If u want more info I can send u his info? He is the best of the best

Yes my surgery date is Jan 14th. I am very excited. I think I am going to train after with Geof at Phoenix gym but not sure yet. My BMI is 40 so I have a good 100lbs to lose to my goal weight. What gym do u use? I’m scared a personal trainer is going to break the bank lol

Awesome!! How was your recovery? How is your weight loss? Do you go to any support groups?

We r also close in surgery dates! Mine is Jan 14!!

Omg we r really close in surgery dates 🥰 I go in Jan 14th!!

O I forgot some info. I have Cigna open access plan. So my requirements are minimal- no diet requirements or wait period. I had my consult December 7 and did psych evaluation, dietician meeting,pre op class, lab work and approval by PCP. For pre op diet my surgeon only has a clear liquid diet for 48 hours before surgery.

Hi!! I am having surgery Jan 14. In Denver Colorado at rose medical with Dr. Snyder. I am doing the VSG (sleeve). This will be my very first surgery ever. I have never been under anesthesia so I am really nervous. And am so happy I found this app for support!!!
