RicaShanea 3 Posted June 8, 2020 I am 26 years old. 5’6. My CW is 344lbs , GW is 200lbs. I am so excited and nervous all at the same time! My consultation was 5/28 and they called me today stating they could schedule me as soon as 6/17! I wanted to get a full 2 weeks on the liquid diet so i have scheduled for 6/22 at 9AM. I didn’t think i would have a date so soon after consult. Two weeks i soon. But I’ve been praying for this for a long time! So my excitement definitely overshadows the nervousness.

Lanie992 168 Posted June 9, 2020 So happy for you! I remember when I got my surgery date - I was so excited... My excitement totally obscured any nervousness I could have had. You'll do great. Just make sure to follow the instructions each step. If you get out of line - your body will react & it's not pleasant. But it will be worth it in the end! Keep us updated on how things go!
