I had a gain at my very last appointment (so frustrating!) but because I will still under my start weight, it wasn't an issue and I was approved with no issue. You've still got some time to come back down again. It's definitely normal to be anxious about it, so I completely understand. But, I do believe you will be just fine.

It's been a rough road with lots of nausea and Protein Drink intolerance and more nausea, so the weight has come off a bit faster than my doctor and nutritionist projected, so your mileage may vary. I was sleeved August 8th. I've lost a lot of hair. Pic below is about two shower's worth. This puts me about 76 lbs down from my highest weight. Hang in there guys, I'm finally having more good days than bad. I don't have many recent pics that aren't just selfies but you can see the difference in those even! I have collarbones again, woo!

Pictures from last night on New Year's Eve. It's so funny that last year on this day I was home watching tv cause I was only 2 weeks out from surgery.

Thanks all Had a scrambled egg for breakfast today - no fatigue. So you are right Fluffychix - sugar spike. Intersting. Pre surgery I could eat a family size Cadbury block and have no such spike - or not that I noticed. Maybe this will make me more in tune with my body. I have long regarded my body as simply a (pretty ugly) method to carry my brain around...

Same as the above posters, surgery was easy. The pain was nothing - the stomach pain felt like I had done sit ups the day before and the incisions felt like a paper cut. The gas pain is annoying more then anything. I came off all pain killers with in a couple of hours as I didn’t want to be hooked up to the machines and just wanted to walk around. I was tired for about a week. Best wishes for your surgery.

Hey guys do you suppose I might be part Bassett Hound? Know I'm tired of being fat and droopy so I'm going to go through with my surgery. How about you? Sent from my VS880PP using BariatricPal mobile app

that’s certainly one option. an even easier option would be for ladies on this website to be courteous and respectful and stop posting in The Guys Room. that would def work too.

I love the Syntrax nectars as far as powder. The Kay's natural white cheddar puffs are good. The mac and cheese ones,not so much. There are a few protein bars that are good and taste like candy, but I prefer the generic quest bars from costco. I don't need to be tricking my brain to think it's eating candy

The binder helped me a lot!!! Decreases pain and helped me move easier! Wish I would have had one for my 4 c-sections!

So, My insurance will not cover my surgery. I went through 6 months of requirements because my doctors office said they talked to someone and it was covered. Well we got the audio and they told her it wasn’t covered and she just heard what she wanted to. Sooo now I’m going out of state to Colorado to get my surgery and pay out of pocket. Anyone else pay out of pocket? I have good credit and was wondering if anyone else got a medical loan? I’m only having to get a loan for 13,500 or 14,000. My mom originally told me she would help me out but then turned around and said she doesn’t think this surgery will work for me because I had the lapband ( my port has flipped 4 times and now flipped again) so I just want it out. She processed to tell me how I’ll never be able to do it and I’m wanting a quick fixed and not to work for it. My mom hasn’t been in my life until I was older. She has no idea how many things I’ve tried and failed. I have pcos and I’ve struggled since I was 12 with my weight. She is definitely not a supporter she has commented on my weight my whole life and talked about me behind my back about me being over weight. Now she ran and told my cousin and thinks I should go back on meds I took before for pcos that made me super sick and my cousin is taking shots for it. Sorry I don’t want a bandage. I want it under control. Any suggestions for medical loans With low rates would be awesome! We can swing like 200-300 a month. Thanks for listening. I’m getting the sleeve hopefully!
