Sleeve tattoo

Unfortunately, I had to. I was seeing my PCP for weight mgt but because the visits were not consecutive i Have to start all over again. Haven seen a psch Dr yet nor have i had any of the other test done. I'll cram all of those appts in somewhere between 4th-5th month of seeing my dietician just so they can be at least 30-60 days current.

Thanks for replying. New Zealand now? Wow! How is it there?

I started out with one surgeon and quickly moved on to another after my appts were postponed twice and then the surgeon moved to a location further away. I took it as a sign of what was going to be an extra long process if i had stayed with the first surgeon. If you are in a position to try a new surgeon look into it or call your current surgeon's office every Monday and Friday until they know you name and number by heart and they call you to update you. Whatever you do dont give up

I see it in your face and the dark hair is very nice on you as well! good look all around!

u look fab! I know u said u dont wants yours but dear lawd i hope i keep my tig ol bittys!

That's great!! Best wishes to you.

Yes. I actually started a while back with my PCP. After my first visit with the surgeon, i was told that I must start all over because the visit had to be for 6 consecutive months. So far I've only had one diet visit my second is in a few weeks.

Hi, im at the beggining too. Hoping to be sleeved by early next year as well. Best wishes to you

Welcom Kim! I think you' ve found the right place to talk to people that are going thru the same. I'm relatively new myslef and still at the beginning stages of getting sleeved. Don't just stop here check around the site. You'll find that people have some of same issues, concerns, good stuff , not so good stuff about WLS. when i forst joined in June I thought it was gonn be "Just another site where people tell their business and it would be of no interest to me. I was wrong, 2 1/2 months later I'm still here and learning stuff too. It's all here any question and great answers. Best wishes to ya!

WOW!! There is sooooo much to this whole process. Anyone who says that this surgery is taking the easy way out wieght loss should be slapped AND HARD TOO. It takes a lot of work to have to deal with the medical insurance and the medical staff. This is all before we deal with the surgery itself. I'm glad HeyHer asked the question because I found out some good info from the answers.

I's soory she's acting like that towards you. I really wouldn't want ot connect with a friend like that agian even after you lose the weight. First it foremost is says that she's not really your friend at all. Good for you for not dealing with that foolishness anymore. you need all your time and effort to go towards your new life of healthy living. Good riddens to her and GOOD LUCK TO YOU!

Late night TV and eating a lot of the wrong type of snacks was my thing today I still don't eat a lot till this day but unfortunately all of the stuff at a packed on the fat. I chose to sleep because of the results i've seen on others n what I've been reading n researching this is magnificent for me. one other important thing that helped me to make my decision is that I have not heard too many people complain about having a whole lot of excess skin like you may have from the gastric bypass surgery

THERE REALLY IS! Everyone gave good advice. Continue to try your very best. it will definitely help in the long run good luck to you I know its tough

Please don't let other people stop from doing from doing what is best for you, your husband included . Often times people want us to do with seems to be best for them and what they think. I have diabetes borderline high blood pressure and I've been fat for most of my life. Even though eating is easy gaining weight, seeing it on your body and not being able to take it off that easily is very hard . Surgery isn't easy either. I'm sorry your husband is not supporting you but there are people here on this site that will be some of your greatest supporters and biggest fans for making a great life choice .

Im 5'4 also. I've been a fat girl for most of my life sobmy goal weight is not even close to 125, even though the medical world would like for me to be something close to that. Currently i weigh 264. My goal weight is 170-180. I still want to have some meat on my bones

This sounds like a great plan

this is great and so on point. I love a great sense of humor and your post not says a lot of the same things that some of us hate about being fat but its funny too. thanks

I love this site! Its great to see ppl being supportive of complete strangers. I will definately watch ur videos. It takes a lot of courage to share ur up n downs about weight issues.

Best wishes to you and I hope you have a speedy recovery
