I started this process on Jan 18th of this year. 3 month weight management for the insurance requirements is ALLLLLL DONE!!! I am scheduled for surgery on May 30th. Im scared yet excited at the same time!!! do I have any surgery twins out there???

Not all antidepressants are SSRI, some work on dopamine and norepinephrine. Welbutrin is one of those and a person can taper off of it fairly easy w little side effects. While I am not offended easily I am taken aback at people that say 'don't take anything, don't take anything' when it saves lives all the time, and it's ironic that we are on here having DRASTIC surgery for medical reasons but eschew medication, while giving expert medical advice......holy merde

I'm scheduled for VSG on May 24th. I have childcare sorted for my 7 year old daughter now which is a huge relief..BUT I am going to be completely on my own and I'm so scared

For my six month weight loss trial it had to have my weight documented, as well as what exercises I have been doing and discussion about what I will to different to work on my weight loss the next month. I had gained weight one month after a taking a stretch of steroids for an injury, so there had to be additional discussion on why I gained weight and what I will do to not only lose the weight I put on but additional weight as well. The weight loss physician wrote the letter of medical necessity for my insurance company.

I use LoseIt! Premium. MFP and any other app will tell you that you are under calories if you close your day out. You don't have to close your day out. The only purpose in closing your day is to get it to tell you what your projected weight loss will be. That isn't going to be accurate anyway. Just don't close your day out, just track and move to the next day and it won't bother you about low calories. I think I have closed my day like 3 times in the past 2 years. And LoseIt still estimates my weight loss even if I don't close my days.

Congratulations!! You are going to do great!

I am also using Dr. Moon....

I had my sleeve Friday. It went very well. I was not prepared for the gas and nauseous, which was far worse that any if the surgery pain. Came home after two nights. Learning that I can't really lay down or it will make me feel nauseous. Other than that I feel great! Already down 11 pounds. Feeling optimistic and hope this positive momentum stays put.

Wow, that's coming up FAST. Good luck to you on surgery day and every day thereafter! Keep educating yourself along the way.

I'm in Camden County and schedule for Sleeve on 4/13
