At my clinic they don't want you drinking it before and a few weeks after surgery. Not a problem for me because I don't drink soda,coffee or energy drinks.

I wanted to wait till the end of my 6 months and see if I get approved but everyone pretty much knows. I don't care what people think about this. I'm going to do it no matter what anyone says.

So far I have only tried dannon Greek and its gross to me..I'm not a big fan of yogurt in the first place so what brands do you think taste the best?

I thought the liquid diet would be easy but I started trying out different shakes and broths and then it it me...ima have to drink this stuff for 2/3 weeks lol

Good luck to you!

The seminar at my center just had a speaker and one of the two surgeons talk about the surgeries. It was pretty impersonal but if you had questions about the surgeries they would be asked. They did not talk about anyone's insurance though.

will it help if I take pictures with a camera with a date and time? I get bad cysts now but I assume it will be worse with longer and more flappy skin. Thank you for your information!

Do cyst count? Also stuff like yeast rash?

I have to try and lose 20 pounds before surgery

Is there a way to get free samples of nectar?

I'm not at all worried about my therapist. She told me to give him her number and supports this choice and is proud of how well I have come (was being taken advantage of by my guardian) but since I'm out on my own I've come a long way..I just worry about my history and I have horrible social and general anxiety and while I'm close with my family and boyfriend I have no friends out side the Internet.

What happens if you aren't cleared for the psyc test? Do they have you come in and talk about it? Give you a second chance or can you try again eventually or is that it? I'm still waiting to hear back about mine but just want to know

i asked him and he said I wouldn't need any appointments he will talk with my therapist that if had for 2 years and then talk with the bariatric team and give me a call in a few weeks.

I tend to worry about anything I can..but you are probably right.

I had mine Monday. We talked a bit about my family support system and history. Why I wanted the surgery and what the risks are. About my eating habits and then I had to take a personality quiz on the computer which was 340 questions and I swear about 200 of them stated about alcohol,suicide and drugs in sneaky ways...you would think after the first few times I said I do not drink,I do not do nor have i ever done drugs and I do not feel like committing suicide they would get it lol

Stalls happen all the time. Just browsing the post op forms you will see tons and tons of stall posts. It's normal and happens to almost everyone

Congrats!

thanks for sharing! You have nice hips lol

yeah I'm worried about losing in my legs...if they get thinner before my stomach I'm going to look so weird lol.

where did you start losing?

I ment the dannon light and fit Greek yogurt..I don't like it lol ill try the chobani and then the oikos..maybe the dannon light and fit blends

the regular or Greek?

There is a chance my insurance won't cover me because I only have pre diabetes and not full blown type two. I was wondering how much self pay is including the flight there and back and if you can do payments? I'd also like references as too good programs/surgeons and where to start. Thanks

Good luck!

Thanks for the info! My doctor called and told me even though my recent test shows I'm in the range of pre diabetes I'm in their system as controled type 2 diabetes so hopefully I won't have to self pay but I'm still going to do my research just incase!
