Delaware Buddies?

[littlebits 154]

Hello everyone! I'm still pre-op...finishing up my nutrition classes (April & May) & two more clearances (both scheduled for early April). I should be eligible for my surgery in May, but I will wait until June. Hopefully, there won't be any issues with my insurance approval...

Oh, my surgeon is Dr. Peters.

HI Little Bits! I got my surgery date today - April 16th. I have been a voyeour to this site for a while, but finding a fellow Delawarean made me join today! My surgeon is also Dr. Peters. He is wonderful!

[littlebits 154]

I agree! I was initially suppose to meet with Dr. Irigau. He had an emergency & I ended up meeting Dr. Peters. I'm so happy because I was going to get lapband & he changed my mind!!!

I had originally thought lapband, but my nutritionist thought the sleeve had better results. The countdown begins! What is your timeframe for surgery/classes etc?

[littlebits 154]

Oh, I got so excited about finding a fellow Delawarean that I forgot to say CONGRATULATIONS!!!

I have two more nutrition classes (April & May). My insurance required 6 months worth of classes. I also have two clearances, both scheduled the 2nd week in April. I should get my actual date soon, probably in May. However, if possible, I plan to schedule my surgery in June.

I'm glad that you decided to join. I joined in January; however, I just got the nerve to put a picture on Saturday...

I wish you the best on your remaining appointments. The final scheduling will be here before you know it. I have been on the fence about this, but a friend of mine summed it up best...she said... you're killing yourself for minimal weight loss, how hard is it going to be when you're older. I'm 45 and have been kicking my butt at the gym . I've lost inches, but not much weight and we all know we focus on the scale. I'm ready for this... (I think )

[littlebits 154]

Thank you...good luck to you as well! I'm 36 & have a lot of medical stuff going on, so I have to get the weight off asap. Please keep me posted on your progress. Hopefully, we can motivate each other. By the way, I'm Tywania.

Nice to meet you Tywania, I'm Linda. Yes, we'll support one another.

[littlebits 154]

Well, I have to teach the kiddies in the morning. Take care & I'll talk to you soon!
