Kila Rass 51 Posted December 5, 2016 Girl yes! It seems like it's been forever. I have a countdown and all! When I officially started this process a year ago. I switched doctors and everything. It took 6 months for my insurance to approve me getting started. Another 6 months of dietician visits. Now I'm waiting to submit and for official approval from insurance. I am going nuts too! I just want mid-Jan to be here already! Lolol have you been taking before pics? Everyone I know who has had the surgery says take lots of before pics. Yes videos and pictures! I seriously can't wait.

Crafty Li'l Devil 144 Posted December 6, 2016 Crafty how did you feel? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App So far, I'm doing alright. Not hungry. Missing some things that I'm used to that are comforting for me. I've also quit cigarettes, caffeine, and Coca cola today. I haven't had any of them today and I'm doing alright. Feeling a little warm... Almost like detoxing. I've got a bit of a headache. I'll wake up tomorrow and go to the grocery store and get some more things to try. I've got a little over a month of this. Hopefully we have all our ducks in a row and on the 13th we will schedule my surgery. Sent from my SM-G920P using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jhemp85 106 Posted December 6, 2016 Have to wait till Sept 2017. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App I know that seems so long but the time will go by fast. I first started looking into this with my current doctor was last December and it seems like it was last month I inquired about the surgery. What helped me pass the time was getting information, watching youtube and making sure I am mentally and emotionally prepared for this journey after surgery.I will I don't have the date yet I'm hoping in January : )I hope you are able to get your January date!
