Lol I know Dani. I splurged a little because I also wanted to use this opportunity to take my parents on vacation because they need to get away and they have been through a lot lately so this will be like a little getaway for them. I don't know how relaxing it will be for them since I will be having surgery but hey at least they will be somewhere nice and near the beach.

Hey Ladies! I'll be staying in myrtle beach, I'm renting a private condo at Sun N Sand. She gave me from saturday-saturday (2 full weeks) for 1100. It's one room, with a king bed, and a full futon. Ocean front. she said you can lay in bed and see the ocean, I splurged a bit too. I'm taking my mom the first half and my boyfriend the second half (flying on in , and one out on that friday)....so I'm kind of giving them a little vacation too since they'll both be taking care of me. Plus I figured If i'm going to be stuck in the hotel that much i NEED something to look at and some place to go if they drive me insane and I can't drive :D Dani thats an amazing price i still can't believe you got that!!!!! I'm so excited for us all. Is anyone else going to VLOG they're experience? I want to do YT vids.

Mimi, if you can start a forum for Us all to keep track of eachother that will be great! I'm so excited for us all!!! Theres a guy right before dani I think that is getting the sleeve, he's on this forum ill pass it along to him as well, then dani, mimi's july 11th and im august 8th, and i forget when meredith's is. Maybe we'll come acrossed more people with dates near ours!!!

Hi all

I started a thread in the general forum for us titled dr Morris washingtons crew

Dr, Washington is a really good surgeon and I like that he does not sugar coat things he tells you the ups and downs straight up. He will be performing my surgery on April 18th. I have insurance, one of the reasons for the discounts is he is trying to build his practice down here in South Carolina. He needs to have 125 surgeries to become a center of excellence in many insurance company's minds. He had that in New Jersey and has been in the weight loss surgery areana for over 20 years.

Conway is about 13 miles from Myrtle Beach. So I wish you luck with getting a good price they also offer financing through their office. I saw some brochures on the receptionists desk. His office is in Conway hospital and all of their rooms are private rooms. They also offer monthy support groups the next support group is on April 17th.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
