I feel the same way about advising everyone about the surgery and them not being supportive.

so stressful but still trying not to let it get me down.

I feel the same way Kaysmommy.....My surgery is set for June 1st although I am not 100% sure if the insurance is set but I have completed all the necessary procedures and requests.

I went to my hospital's seminar and it was very informative.  I can't believe I am so close.  It hasn't hit me which is why I think I haven't told anyone except for my husband and sister.  Are you telling everyone 100%?  I feel like I will be judged which is strange but true.

My surgeon's office is telling me I should be good to go but I don't want to be stuck with a big bill at the end when I thought it was covered.

Curious to hear how you tell everyone in your life....

Thanks!

My surgery date is also 6/1 although I am still trying to make sure insurance will be covering all the expenses.  Have you had your insurance clearance yet?

I look forward to sharing all the victories with all of you and hearing your stories!

I am also scheduled for the VSG. 

Has anyone tried the Isopure clear protein drinks?  Trying to find a good flavor..........

Hi, and congrats on your surgery. I'm debating between RNY and VSG. I meet with my surgeon on Thursday to discuss what's best for me. I'm leaning toward RNY, and my ObGyn reccomends RNY for me to. I should be going sometime in June. I am excited to get going on our great journey.

June 10th here! 10 day liquid diet for me starting May 31.

Hopefully VSG waiting on approval for that. If not VSG, I'm already approved for RNY.

My surgery date is 06/01.  I've already started my pre-op diet... I'm lucky, my doc said just keep the calories under 1200 for two weeks. 

I'm totally looking forward to sharing and rejoicing together in our little victories along the way!

I'm getting the VSG.   What procedures are you guys going in for?

I am a teacher as well, and I scheduled mine during the summer so that I can rest, as well as start an exercise routine. Our school gets out June 3, and I set my date for the MONDAY right after school gets out for the summer!!!! I'm uber excited!!

My surgery date is set for JUNE 6, 2011. I can I put the date on my profile like some of you all have????


I, too, am glad to know that there are others who will have the same BIRTHDAY as me! My surgery date will be celebrated EVERY year, just as I would my NATURAL birth date!
