Sunshine8946 44 Posted January 14, 2016 Just received my surgery date today! 2/22! Putting through insurance next week! Excited but all of a sudden nervous! Anxious about the insurance approval, the surgery itself, and life afterwards but my excitement certainly outweighs the worries. Would be great to find a few people going through it around the same time! ???? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pedro Valle-Inclan 275 Posted January 14, 2016 I'M WITH YA!! My date is Feb 10th - here goes nothin.... Yeah, still my excitement far outweighs my worries, that might change a bit in the coming weeks. I just came back from the gym after work, 40 min on treadmill and a buncha abdominals. Boy feels pretty good. I was 252 today, my highest has been 305lbs. I really want to go into surgery with a strong exercise routine going. Ready or not we're going soon! How damn exciting, the best, pedro Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IH8theW8 12 Posted January 14, 2016 I'm scheduled for Feb 13. Would love to stay in touch thru our journey. ???? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pedro Valle-Inclan 275 Posted January 14, 2016 Yeah it'll be helpful knowing you're going through it too. I will be out of work from the 10th to the 23rd going back to teach school on that Monday Feb 23rd (?), I'm a little worried about that but I can stay seated all day. This should be one heck of an adventure, I'll keep you posted Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sunshine8946 44 Posted January 15, 2016 Pedro! You are already doing so well! This is going to be a breeze for you! Keep us posted! The countdown is on and then the rest of your life begins! How cool is that?! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sunshine8946 44 Posted January 15, 2016 Definitely let's stay in touch! It will be great afterwards to touch base to make sure what we're feeling is "normal"! Good luck to you! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pedro Valle-Inclan 275 Posted January 15, 2016 You guys, it's true, I need to stay in touch especially because hardly anyone in my little world will know. No one I work with, and only 3 family members. Yup, you guys, very very exciting. Yes, I do get a little nervous sometimes hearing the stories of follow up operations, gall bladder stuff, people's various discomforts, but I know I didn't sign on here for a cakewalk. That's why the next 25 days I want to hit the gym and walk as much as possible to go in as light and as toned as possible (chuckle, light and toned..), plus I will move heaven and earth to MAKE myself walk down those hospital hallways asap. We CAN and WILL do this thing!!! todo bien Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kip 7 Posted January 16, 2016 I am right behind you with a March 3rd date. I hope I can sit at the cool kids table with you guys during this. I just finished my psych evaluation, had my first appointment with the dietitian. I am just waiting on some insurance stuff to go through, but all is looking good. It is all I can think about. I am keeping pretty quiet about it. I have not told social media yet, I am thinking about doing a video blog of the process. I am looking forward to hearing about your pre and post op's. Hoping this finds you well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
