I had to wait a lot longer to fulfill the requirements of the weight management program than I did for medicare! I started with the physical for weight management on June 25 and could have had surgery in mid October. I had to have lots of tests and appointments and classes in between. I am sure you will too.

I have medicare. There is no insurance required waiting period if your BMI is over 40, mine was 48.something . There is no question the sleeve is covered if you meet the criteria for comorbities or BMI.

I only have a few oair that fit now and no washer at home. s o how many time do you wear before washing or dry cleaning your pants or jeans?

I am a little nervous I have never really been in an exercise class. I really don't like exercising much but I know I need to. I joined the Y and I have been exercising on my own by walking on the treadmill and swimming. I don't feel like I am doing enough. What should I do to be ready for my class? Do I need anything special? No equipment is required. Should I buy workout clothes? How do I fit in? Maybe I should take geriatic chair exercise instead of the ripped exercise I signed up for I am NERVOUS!

Oh my I am so sorry! What a shock I can't imagine what you must be going through!

The bra is a good idea I only have one that fits right now. My band size has decreased by 5-6 inches since my weightloss began. My sister advised me to get really good sports bra. I have some jogging type pants I think will work for now but they are getting too big. Maybe I will check out the thrift for something else.

Congratulations! How awesome!

Two nights here too.

Will you have your own hotel room or share? Will you be eating out most meals with family or eating on your own? will you have a way to heat things up?

Okay I fixed but click the pics they look awful small!

This picture is about 3 years oldI was about 270( highest weight was 282) in this one, The little guy is my son at age 5. This is on 12/21/13 after a really long day, at 226 pounds . Th

Are you expecting your period? that would do it for me.

Wow back to school one week later! That is fast. I went back work two weeks later and I work from home. I hard time and really did not start tofeel like myself untli about 3-4 weeks out.

I am almost 7 weeks out now on solids, all food as tolerated. I am still nervous to eat fresh fruit the way I did in the past though.

I have tried a bunch of different Vitamins and they are all just not palatable for me. I have had samples of optisourece, Celebrate and several of the Bariatric Advantage flavors and types. I just cannot tolerate any of them. I am wondering if I will be able to use Centrum chewables. are they different than the others I have tried? Are they smaller? I like the centrum flavor burst but my nutirtionist I cannot use those, she also said no gummies of any kind were acceptable.

Oh My goodness! I am sorry you have ben so ill! I hope you feel better very soon. I am sure that your family is very worried. Please take care and know that we are here to support you.

I thought I was the only one eating out of the measuring cup!

Welcome

Amazing! Look at you! Incredible!

What are you eating? How often? whay can't you get your protien and liquids in ? Are you feeling overfull when you do eat? I have that overfull feeling when I eat then I am staving again a short time later.

Do you eat dairy or eggs? Fish? Have you tried isopure? I know you said you are over protein shakes but itis different.

I had surgery 11/19 , HW 282, SW 239, CW 221 only 18 pounds since surgery. I am not exactly happy with my loss either but I am taking as a clue to exercise more and hit my protien and water harder.

I had 4 new directions brand protein shakes per day and any other non caloric , non caffeinated, non carbonated beverages . The diet was two weeks pre op , I lost 12 pounds.
