I want the gastric sleeve surgery so bad

[VeroN86 60]

Good luck! I'm at the end of my pre op journey and am looking forward to the other side for the reasons you mentioned. I have 7 kids and there's so much I want to be able to do with them and can't because of my weight. I got lucky that my surgeon is a Bariatric center of excellence and does a 90 day program. It feels like that has gone on forever! My best advice is read as much as you can, and make as many changes as you can leading up to surgery so it's not all a big shock and just keep an honest open dialogue with your NUT.

That's great! When is your surgery date? How exciting! And thank you I have been reading a lot

@@VeroN86 I'm currently in "the waiting place" waiting for a date. My surgeon's office needs to send my packet, but apparently are waiting on my surgeon to write a letter of recommendation for surgery. Supposedly that will get done this week and then after insurance approves, I'll get my date. It's like all these months I've planned how this all would go and then they dropped the ball and I've been done with my 90 day program since Oct 5th and it's not sent yet. I might go crazy waiting!
