I decided to go with Centennial because their self pay prices were a bit cheaper than Baptist's. A few grand here and there makes a big difference!

because I have to save up and pay I have to wait until December to have surgery. But I'm still so excited my dream is in sight and I can barely contain myself. I try not to talk to much about the surgery because i don't want my fellow coworkers getting sick of listening to me but i feel like I could burst with excitement.

HAHA right! my coworkers are probably sick of me talking about it. every morning i do a round of updated info ... almost....every morning. i am trying to save up as well. i have my surgery scheduled for the 30th of december but they require i pay half up front so i already told some family memebers to just help chip in for X-mas ;) everyday i just want it to be surgery day i just want it to happen this site is the only thing keeping me sane :D

. Jenny I had to move my surgery up so I ended up having my surgery the 4th of November. I actually had a good experience and the only struggle I had was the two weeks of full liquid you start to get bored with the same stuff over and over again. But enough with me good luck with your surgery and what a great way to start out the new year.

So what the story with the Protein you ladies have been talking about. ??

The dietians and Doctors recommend you start drinking Protein shakes before you have your surgery and after. There are so many different tastes and brands it's best to try out a few before your surgery so you have an idea of what you like later. Unfortately after your surgery your taste buds will change and what you liked before might make you sick after the surgery.

Wow really? Oh my that could suck. I have the lap band and having a revision done. Is there a huge difference between the before and after? Just asking because I have a few shakes I really like.

      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
