I'm about 2 hrs away. It may be worth the trip.. we will see after the first.

Labelle fl. I have an appointment on 5/1 to get a second opinion.

That's what I want is the bypass.

Good luck! Hope all gos well

I have medipass. I'm seeing dr. Thomas bass in fort myers

Cool. I've seen my nut 2x. She said my last time will be just a weigh in when I meet with the surgeon may 16th. I see the psychiatrist on 4/22. I'm nervous but excited. I was just wondering how long it takes to be approve once submitted.

Hey how long did it take medipass to approve you once you were submitted?

I ask him if he has tried the old fashioned way (since he was bigger than me)! I am praying that this new one will listen to my whole situation before she makes a decision. Thanks to everybody who gave advice while I vented. Glad to know y'all are so supportive!

No he told me loose it the old fashion way. I called my surgeon today they gave me another psychiatrist to call who is supportive of wls. I have an appointment on 4/22. Thank god!

I'm sorry to hear you went through that. don't be scared I think it was more issues that he didn't really pay attention to that he assessed. he wouldnt let me explain them. I myself went through a bad marriage and was abused at11 and that's why he got the pts. even though I went to therepy after that he didn't he didn't even let me explain it. I know i dealt with it. He just didnt care. I am getting a second opinion.

Hi y'all! I'm melissa I'm turning 30 this year. I'm just starting. I've been to the seminar and have a referal from my pcp. I start seeing the nutritionist in feb waiting to hear what date.. should know Monday... I'm a mom of three boys and love it! I'm doing this for me.. I want to be healthy and see my kids grow up.

They said my symptoms are not severe enough to be bipolar. I am taking meds. For ml and doing great on them. I drink once in a while but I have never been a alcoholic.

I agree. I'm looking for a new psychiatrist now this is kind of hard to find one in my area that takes my Insurance and is agreeable with wls

Bad part is he had my records from my normal psychiatrist. He only had me un his office for 30 min and everytime I tried to talk or explain he cut me off! He even had the nerve to tell me to loose it the old fashion way! Like I haven't tried. I'm looking for a second opinion but tgere are not many in my area that will do the wls exam.

I was scared before the nutritionist as well being I had already cut out sodas and cut down the carbs l. Ate fruits and veggies and a goid amount of protine. my protein shakes were my life saver! She was very happy with my choices and supportive with my slips. don't be scared or nervous they aare there to help you succeed!

I had to send my pals box 2 times in feb! It kept comming back the 3rd time she had to sign for it. I emailed her to find out if she got it she never responded! Hope she liked it. This month I wasn't able to participate due to health but hoping I can next month!

Ok I have 3 boys and a husband. On the weekends I also have my stepson and stepdaughter. I try not to let what they eat bother me. But my husband keeps bringing junk food that I use to love ( choclate, breads, pastas, soadas, etc) in the house. I've tried talking to him but he just gets hurt or angry. What can I do to keep the peice without either of us suffering?

No they are not over weight. My hubby is one of those guys who eats anything and everything all day and don't gain weight! I've gotten me "special" things and I do the cooking. They generally eat healthy except when they snack. Which seems yo be all day sometimes... guess its just something I have to learn to live with and not rant about.

I know how you feel. I was a pepsi junkie! Last time my hubby took me out we ask the server not to bribg the fresh bread that came with our meal ( I love it) she did anyway... I wanted it so bad. But I didn't give in. I covered it wuth a napkin and ask her to remove it tge next time she came by and she argued with me! She had the nerve to get snotty and tell me that it comes with all dinners and they have to serve it. The waitress from the next table came by smiled and removed it tge minute she walked away.

Thanks I will ask them about all that. So far tgey haven't ask me to do anything other than what my doc has already done

I'm pre op and fairly new. I've seen my nutritionist 1 time see her again the 21st. I have a 3 month supervised weigh in before surgery. I have my surgery some time in june or late may no exact date yet. I look forward to getting to know you all and sharing your journeys!

Pure protine chocolate is yummy! If you blend it woth almond milk and ice it tastes like a chocolate shake.

I make a protine shake. I mix pure choclate flavored protibe with almond milk and ice and blend. It makes a milkshake like taste. Love it. Sometimes I add a spoon of peanut butter.

I know how you feel my hubby is 32 and has a 30 in waist. Eats anything and everything! Bad part is he makes me feel guilty when I ask him not to eat or drink crap I use to loce and crave in front of me!
