First 6 months are done!



Recommended Posts

My last pre-op appointment was today. Pre-op testing completed and all paperwork sent into insurance for reivew for approval. Tentative surgery date scheduled for May 14th. I cant wait! On the other hand, I was rereading the pre and post op diets. It is a little overwhelming. I have to remember that I want to be healthy and a few weeks of liquids will be easy when I think of the long term benefits! 6 weeks...let the count down begin!

We have all been there. It is over before you know it. Just think, thinner me and smaller clothes. The best!!

Good luck with the new you.

Congrats! 1st few days are hard but it gets easier and like the prior said keep your eye on the prize! I am only 1 month since banded but already had my high blood pressure meds removed and no longer pre- diabetic rated. I am able to walk without SEVERE back pain its all worth it!

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
