Beaumont area, I'll join a FB page if its set to private.

You are NOT a loser! Sounds like you had a low blood sugar crash. Call your doctor and tell them what happened! You can do this! DId you go from a morning shake all the way to 2pm without anything else but water? That would definitely cause a sugar crash. The pre-op diet is low carb, and will get all the sugar cravings out of your body by day 3, if you can make it till them, you will be fine! HANG IN THERE!!!

thank you so much for your honesty. This is really good information for people who haven't been sleeved yet. The surgery is a great help, but not a cure all. Thanks again! And I look forward to how the psychologist sessions go.

July 11th, Houston, TX, Dr. Terry Scarborough!!

I'm being bombarded by a friend who is a fitness trainer and now selling weight loss supplements. He is REALLy trying to convince me not to do this surgery that he can have 80 lbs off of me by December. It's really frustrating me because he knows nothing about the surgery, has done ZERO research on it, and it sitting here telling me that I don't want to do it, it is a mistake! What does he know?! He just wants me to buy his stuff and hire him as a trainer! I'm starting to get ticked. Hate when friends bombard me like that.

I'll also add, that this friend hasn't really spoken to me in years until he started selling this stuff, and now he all the sudden wants to talk to me and try to sell it to me. (was probably trying to think of all his friends who were overweight!) Anyway, if I thought there was a weight loss fad out there, trust me, I'd do it, and I might lose the weight, but give me a couple years, and it will be right back on. I feel that I need the surgery to help me keep it off for life. I do not want to be on pills/supplements for life, and I am not one that wants to go to the gym all the time, I work full time, and have two small children who want me at home when I'm not at work. Exersize will consist of what I can do with them at home, or around the block. I can't go to the gym that he works at 40 miles away. This surgery is not a whim decision that I've made. I've been thinking about it for about 2 years now and feel that it is right for me. I ignored him on FB and he seems to have gotten the hint. I did tell him though, that if I hit a stall, I would contact him and see if he could help me get over the stall.

there is a surgeon in New Iberia, Louisiana that does it for $9800. I can't remember his name!! google it and you'll probably come across it. I was going to use him, but ended up getting insurance that covered it, so going closer to home now.

what day are you on? I've heard after the 3rd day the hunger goes away because your body goes into ketosis.

interested to see what people say to this! I'm hoping it will put a little spark back in our relationship. We shall see!

what if you took pics in a swim suit so you won't have to make them private, that might be easier (?) I have no idea how to make pictures private.

I'm interested! (size 18)

I am!! Actually with his surgeon partner, Dr. Scarborough, same office. I've heard they are both fantastic.

I'm SO excited, I got insurance approval from BCBS, TX (education system). I am scheduled for surgery July 11th. (scheduled it then because of work, vacation, and VBS) liquid diet will start June 27th. ((HAPPY DANCE))

Wow! You look so gorgeous! And I love the outfit in your after pics, I can't WAIT to be able to dress like that, because that is my style! I just can't rock it yet. I liked your last quote about if you're on the fence, do it! Thanks for the inspiration! Now I am even more excited!!!

AWESOME!!!

Happily voted for yoU!!!

I looked into them too, and thought their terms were REDICULOUS! I'd go to your credit union for sure! And if you don't find a good one there, then go to chasehealthadvance.com
