Default This Is The Week!

Well, I am finally counting down my last 4 days to surgery. I can hardly believe it's finally here. I finally feel like I will make it through this liquid diet phase since I know I'm on my last countdown.

I am both nervous but mostly excited. Everyone on here has given me so much inspiration with their success stories. I am anxious to be able to begin my journey and get on my road to the same success that all of you have had.

Now, I just have to focus on getting through these last 4 days!

Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

How very exciting to be so close to your surgery day. I can remember the excitement yet the nervousment that I felt that week before and especially the few days before. I tried to keep myself busy and spent lots of time with my family and friends and share all of this with them. Best wishes with you during your surgery and also with recovery.

I have a question that I am curious about with my surgery coming up in four days. I hope this doesn't sound crazy, but do you initially gain weight after surgery because of them having to pump you up with the gases to perform the surgery?

Thanks for any help.
