I swear, I have talked about my surgery so much, I am sick of the sound of my own voice. My every thought is surgery, almost every conversation is surgery. The diet, the workout plan, the recovery,...

Ever since my Surgeon told me that I need to lose more weight to guarentee he can do the RYN on me, I've stalled in my weight loss. I don't know what has happened. He told me to go to a 1200 cal a ...

So, I met with my surgeon. He told me that because I carry most of my weight around my middle "like a Man", I may not be able to have the Bypass and may need the Sleeve. 

Did anyone else get told this or am I the special man shaped woman on the

All of this paperwork is confusing me. I just got something from Atena re: my living will and the Power of Attorney. They are saying that the person with POA can't be in my living will. That, to me, is insane. My Fiancee is the one who is responsible f

So, I just got a call about my Nutrition class and my last follow up with my Surgeon before my Surgery on 3/1/16. Just calling to confirm your appointments, she said.  Am I the only ones who's hear...

That is the only thing that is scaring me through this entire process. I have never been admitted into a Hospital and have severe panic attacks. My anxiety level can climb pretty quickly and this thought is the only thought that makes my heart race.

Were any of you on your period when you had surgery? If so, did that make them postpone it? I'm supposed to have my surgery on 3/1/16 and I just started today which means I'm scheduled to be right at the tail end of it come surgery day. 

I'm wo

Is anyone else OBSESSED with these shows? I feel like they give me an inside peak into what my life could be like if I don't get the surgery and also show me what my life could be or feel like afte...

Is it odd that I want to throw up right now? My mind is racing, I can't focus on work and I am literally sick to my stomach right now. 

I am completely thrilled and excited and feel like I can finally see the light at the end of the weight loss

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! 

I am in the home stretch. I have completed all of the requirements to have my surgery except the final Nutrition class. I have been approved by the Insurance company and completed all of my lab wor...

My insurance company just called me to let me know I was approved for the surgery and they show me scheduled for 2/1/16. They said I need to call my Surgeon to confirm but that's what they show in their systems.

I am so happy and nervous, I wan

My stomach is in knots. Waiting to hear back from the Insurance Company on my approval is driving me crazy. I think about getting the call and what that means...I think about how my body looks and how I won't have to ever look at it like this again....

I finally reached the date when I could submit my information to the Insurance company for approval. They needed 2 years of weight history so I had to wait.  I called and left a VM the Sunday before, just so my VM was the first thing they heard Monday

I submit my information to Insurance on 1/4/16 and I am starting to get nervous. How long will it take for me to get approved? Do I have to start my liquid diet right away? Am I going to be able to go thru with the surgery? My brain won't turn off. Thi

I'm having a hard time lately. I know my surgery will be in the next few months and I am really started to get grossed out by my body. I keep imaging the AFTER surgery me and it's making me hate the CURRENT me. My double chins, my thighs, my stomach an

In exactly 1 month I get to submit my info to the Insurance company for approval. I am so excited and nervous. I haven't been able to maintain any weight loss since I've started this journey so none of it has felt very real yet. A date will definitely

I just can't seem to get back on track with my exercise. I have no excuse. I know what I need to be doing and I'm just not. I always find an excuse or a distraction. I still log my food and water i...
