Hi, I just thought it would be cool to have others in the same month! It’s all good :)

I don’t plan to take off but a few days for work. I can just not lift heavy stuff. I am anxious for my time to get here!

Susie, I hope you get it for April! Keep me updated if you can. I’ll give an update, as well!

April 3rd for me!

My surgeon's office called today to to give me a my surgery date. She wanted to clarify sleeve or bypass and said nurse will call me back but they did not.
Sad face...

Thank you Juliah, I hope so to. Last time I was this excited was when my dr. called me 9 yrs ago to tell me that I was having a little girl. LOL. If they don't call me by 11:00am I will call them.

I feel I have so much to learn even though I have done sooo much research! You can get the sleeve done again?


I’m getting converted to bypass because of my GERD. They do resleeve people if the stomach shape is no good.

I feel so frustrated that everyone has their set dates lol I only have a tentative date due to needing a range for requesting time off work. Seems like it’s only my office that doesn’t schedule early on. Not really complaining just anxious and and want a set date! But so happy that there are a lot of us in April (tentatively the 23rd for me but won’t know until my last appointment on April 3)

I'm sorry:( I was approved and I have been waiting because I work for the school system and wanted to plan for around spring break to use the least amount of leave as possible, I ended up asking for a date the week before just so I only asked for 1 week then was off for break the next. I hope things work out and everything goes smooth:)

Supergirl I am also terrified I have never had surgery before but I keep thinking of all the obesity related diseases that I want to avoid. And how I want to live long enough to see all my boys getting married and having they’re own babies, that’s what keeps me from canceling the surgery. We will do great!!

April vsG here !!!IM LEAVING SO NERVES AND SCARE IM 28 and a mom of 3 YOUNG KIDS IM SO AFRAID HELP!!i have days when I feel like canceling it I’m so scare what if things goes wrong hello

I think we all have something about this that scares us, I am more worried about the pre op shakes than the surgery because I know that the surgery is for a greater good and I can't wait to start a life that is healthier. Look at your name you picked.. you are supergirl:) You will be just fine!! Think of all the things you can enjoy so much more with your kiddos it will be well worth it.

      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?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
