I started my surgery process Sep 18 2014..I had a follow up appointment this morning with the NP. Happy to report that I started this process at 357 pounds. This morning I weighed 348.6.

I have one more appointment next week with my dietitian then they will review my chart and submit for surgery authorization. I have completed all my pre surgery requirements. I am hoping for surgery January 2015..

I am so ready for my healthy life to reapper and to get off all my diabetic. .hypertension and high cholesterol meds.

I read on this forum every day and have learned so much.

Thank you all for sharing your journey

Congratulations to all of you! I had my VSG on 8/6/12. My highest weight was around 317. This morning I was 192! I am 6'0" tall. I am so grateful that I was approved by my insurance BCBS for my surgery. Even though I developed complication because of a blood clotting disorder - not from my sleeve, I would totally do it all over again.

Even though I am happy with how I look in cloths now and I am able to buy some really cute one, I have focused on other dislikes now. Flappy belly, flabby thighs, saggy butt, "deflated face" and increased facial wrinkles. But only me and my husband if 24 years sees this part. Because of my clotting disorder plastic surgery is not an option for me.

So just realize that we are always going to focus on our imperfections. Just remember to try and be grateful for losing the weight and to be alive and healthier!

Best wishes to each and everyone of you!

Xoxo

I am new here also. I have done most of my pre-op requirements. Working on losing the final 5 lbs required to get surgery date. I meet with my surgeon 11/13 and am confident I will be ready to schedule surgery by then. Hoping for a date sometime in December. This site is a Godsend to learn so much.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
