Angel11 126 Posted June 10, 2017 Me too! I'm getting my lapband out the end of June. I will then have the gastric sleeve surgery, the end of August. I'm so excited!!! 4 Noworneverthin, Sugar42, Jessalene and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ladycharizar 44 Posted June 10, 2017 Mine is August 7th, I'm super excited and nervous. My last nutrition appointment is next month, I'm praying my insurance accepts it.

Jessalene 38 Posted June 11, 2017 What insurance do you guys have? My last nutrition appointment is mid July, and then I am assuming I can see if my surgery will be approved. I have high mark. Do you know if the doctor will check for approval or should I call? 1 beebee17 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sugar42 49 Posted June 11, 2017 My last nutritionist appointment will be in July. I'm hoping that the approval process with my insurance isn't that long, so I can get it done in August 2 penelope75 and beebee17 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Finally17 54 Posted June 13, 2017 Kamjmm25: Ive been working out when I can at a gym, 3-4 times a week. And I'm avoiding bread, Pasta and rice. I leave to go on a 10-day cruise later this week, so that will really be the test with all that great food. 2 penelope75 and beebee17 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jessalene 38 Posted June 14, 2017 I struggle with eating too much. I have been doing really good Breakfast and lunch then I eat too much at dinner. Then after kids are in bed I struggle. I have lost 12 lbs so far, but it's definitely tough. I would totally over eat on a cruise. Lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
