Welcome to the Forums Brayleigh. You will find a ton of personal experiences on here. I am still in the very early stages also. I am waiting for Insurance to approve so I can go meet with a surgeon. Best of luck on your appointment. Go prepared, I did and it really helped.

You will probably get it before me. I just got a little more information, haven't been contacted by doctor but I called and got a kinda approval........the girl gave me the surgeons name and I called his office and asked how long it takes to get an appt and they told me i have to go to the seminar first so I scheduled that and its not until 2/23 so thats a little frustrating but then again i am going on a woman's retreat 3/4 so at least i know that wont be interrupted. Oh, the waiting game..........I think God is teaching me something LOL

I am 3 days post op. I am struggling with the pain and the way I feel. I have some regrets but friends say it will pass. I really hope it does because before surgery I was so excited for change. I wish you the best. I have already lost more weight since I have had the surgery. I just can't wait to feel like myself again and then I know I will be able to embrace the changes I have made.
