Oh brother. I was home sick today and was laying down. The bariatric place called and left a message that the seminar was tonight and was I coming. There was a second message that I do not qualify for the surgery and to call if I had questions. I called and they had my weight down as 140. They also made a mistake about the date. I live 2 and half hours away . I am not going there. I had faxed them paperwork twice and they couldn't find it. I did it via email and never got in touch until it was last minute. WHAT A BUSINESS. Just frustrated and wanting to find a GOOD surgeon. I was unsuccessful on here but I'll eventually find the right one for me.

I love this site ! I am still in the decision making stage. I have been struggling with this burden of lugging around all this weight and I am now ready to do this IF I find the right surgeon. I am going to a seminar in Hollywood ,Florida on Nov. 6,2012. I am concerned about the time off from work. I only have a couple weeks of sick time. Fearful that I don't lose the weight and fearful I don and then it comes back!Wondering if your not hungry after surgery and your completely healed? I wonder if everyone drinks the same protein drinks as weight lifters. I wonder how many supplements you take post op? How soon can you go back to work? How long is the pre surgery prep time and what is it? 1st of many entries for now, Hattie

Oh brother.... how often do you get sick? Nausea and vomiting?

Welcome, I am new also but in 2 days, I love all the information and support here. Can't wait to hear about YOUR SUCCESS!

not having had the surgery yet: Does this mean you are hungry and don't feel good?

HANG IN THERE

That's really good to know! One day at a time, right. Eat to live. NOT LIVE TO EAT like I do now. I just pray I pick the right surgeon. Will stay in touch. God Bless!

Thank-You for posting! What is the cramping and did you actually almost have an accident in your pants?? I am brand new and trying to learn pre surgery. Oh my gosh, lots to learn but you inspire me! Praying you have a speedy recovery and have the best health imagined! Hattie

HOOOO RAAAY!

I haven't had surgery yet but you look great! Congratulations on this journey! One year. WOOHOO! are most days good? or bad? would you do it again if this was before your surgery? Just wanted to wish you all the best and thank you for posting!
