Not September, but October



Recommended Posts

I got my date today. I thought I was going to be sleeved in September, but the doctor is booked. I'll be sleeved October 17th. I made it! After waiting 12mths as an insurance requirement. I finally have a date.

I know. I'm a patient person, but this has definitely been a test for me. When I met with the surgeon he was like, "Congratulations, You did it!" LOL. He said many people don't last the full 12mths. I'm determined. Though now that I have a date, I'm starting to get scared, and a form of cold feet.

Oh no. I had to do a 12mth weight coaching program. It was required by my insurance company. The approval process took less than 48 hours.

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