Yeah my aunt thinks I don't need it. It's frustrating because her opinion means a lot to me. I'm still going to go for it though

A lot of people are still nauseated after they get home oh yes. I had a deviated septum that was worked on it was only a hour stay and for the next 4 days I was bleh the day I got home after a hour car ride I threw up and almost lost my nose stents ..since it was my first surgery I didn't know I got nauseous.

i know exactly how you feel. Unfortunately I have to go through my doctor first. She has to be the one to refer me..I made an ad on Craigslist seeing if anyone had my insurance and had the sleeve. A lady replied and even went to the same clinic, she told me her doctor referred her first visit so is switched to her doctor since I was looking into different clinics even but before I tried a new clinic I thought I'd give this doctor a shot..if not there is another person I met on here who told me their clinic and doctor who I will switch to if she won't do what I ask. I am positive I want this and I absolutely qualify. So so nervous to ask her

Great news! Even though my bf and I have been together for 2 years it took him a bit of talking to be ok with the whole thing...I still think he doesn't understand how big of a change it will be..he doesn't care that he's fat so I'm hoping he will still help and respect my life style change

Because you had it done so fast. I assumed you did cause most insurances will not cover unless you're 18+

Off topic question did you self pay?

I'm hoping things go well. My BMI is 47 and I have high blood pressure..not sure if I have diabetes but I take metformin which means I either have pre or I have it. One doctor told me one thing and another the other lol. I just got a new doctor though so hopefully she can clear things up

Get in my belly!!!!

I haven't even talked to my doctor yet I'm hoping for a positive outcome on the 11th. Welcome and good luck!

If I had a pig it would become bacon no matter how cute

if I did you shouldn't be offended lol when descented they are cute and fluffy lol

If you like him it's best to be honest and tell him before hand. If he doesn't support you then he isn't right for you.

Since its legal here I want a pet skunk lol

I love all things fluffy

How much protein are you supposed to have in a day?

i only eat bread if its with a sandwich pasta or hamburger...really I can deal with out but freaking rice and potatoes and pasta...I'm going to die..screw meat I live for those 3 things lol

Congrats!

I'm in love with carbs. While I can live with out sweets I inhale potatoes,pasta and rice...

Sorry to hear about your friend.

Just curious

Yeah I hate when people say surgery is easy. It's not you still have to work out and diet, the weight doesn't just fall off and it can easily come back on..those people are just ignorant. I have ohp plus (Oregon health plan) which is covered by trillium. I'm told you need a BMI of over 40, 6 months of NUT and psyc and you need to show you have been over weight for a few years I think oh and mandatory seminar lol. I tried calling my insurance and they just told me to talk to my doctor and have her refer me..so this is just based off of what 2 others who have the same insurance told me.

pfft I only eat sweets like twice a month if that lol and snails have protein right?!?

I'm really not big into sweets..your temptations don't tempt me!

hmm I must invest in one

you can with one of those?
