My moment was when I had my son 11 months ago..the doctor told me if I had an emergency csection my baby wouldn't have lived...I finally said enough is enough..now if I can just shake off the haters that are trying to discourage my decision. Ive been overweight since 7 years old..have done everything to be thin ..never worked! Never happened! My highest weight was 305 I'm down to 239..and that's just preop!!!! This tool will help our lives as long as we change our lifestyles and habits. Cheers to a better life!

I pray you don't have a leak Hun! Please keep me posted.

I hope you feel better!! Remember the signs of leaking..fever etc. Check ur temp and if in doubt ask the Dr! I'm.excited for you! Hang in there.

That's great! Lets keep in touch! If I learn any techniques I will let you know! Have you finished ur pre op diet..the liquid diet? Im going to start mines on the 3. I still need to grocery shop for it..

I wish y'all a fast and speedy recovery! Please post when you are able to! I would really appreciate the feedback. Dr. Carcamo is my surgeon..how was your experience? Was the doctor and staff informative? Any complaints? My attentative date is Sept 10th..

Hi!! I'm scheduled for September 10th!! Its right around the corner! How are y'all feeling? Y'all ready??? I'm ready!

Sleep study and the followup are very important appointments that almost caused me to fall behind!!! You might want to get those sooner..the egd and evaluation of ur gallbladder is def a learning process even if you don't get your surgery you will know how you stand when it comes to your body.

Every insurance is different however some require you to have a certain BMI on order to qualify for WLS. My insurance requires me to have a bmi of 35 or more and at least one co morbidity like sleep apnea or high blood pressure. I'm not an expert but that's what I have learner so far. The Surgery will help us reach our goals! Best of luck to you!!!
