  1. My pre approval journey began on 3/11/11 with a phone call to Moncrief Army Community Hospital. My first appointment was scheduled for 3/7/11. I had appointments with the Bariatric Surgeon, the Psychologist, the Nutritionist and the Physician that would follow me after surgery. I had my last appointment on 3/14/11 . On 3/16/11 a meeting was held with everyone on the team whom I met with concerning me as a probable candidate for wls. They all found that I was an excellent candidate. On 3/17/11 I was contacted and given a surgery date of 4/11/11. I was ready for this. I was prepared both mentally and physically. I had already gotten a referral from my Primary Care Physician, attended two weight loss seminars, and had been researching on the internet for about 4 months. At my appointments I understood when they used Bariatric terms and I was able to respond when asked questions. My process was quite quick as I am aware that it takes some people months to get an approval. All that I am saying is that doing reasearch on sites such as this one was very informative to me. It made it even more easy for the team to make their expert recomendation. I am truly blessed to have been given this opportunity. Although wls won't rid me of Fibromyalgia, it will aid in relief to my joints and assist me with dropping some of these meds. I am so ready to be healthy once again. Please pray for me and support me through my journey. Thank you for all of your post, they are quite helpful.

    Help... Dumping???

    The exact thing happened to me four days out(same symptoms and all). I was told to get a DanActive Pro biotic yogurt drink. The way it was explained was that sometimes all of the antibiotics gets rid of the good bacteria as well as the bad. This imbalance causes problems. The DanActive creates balance. After taking that, I was better within a few hours. Everything returned to normal. Ask your doctor first. Hope this helps.

    African American Sleevers

    This is a wonderful idea. We as African Americans have issues with our hair and skin that others can't relate to. We also carry our weight differently. I would definitely join this group. Can't wait for you to start it. It will truly be a blessing.
  4. Pre-Op appointment tomorrow!!! I am well on my way.

  5. MY surgery date is April 11
