Lord knows I love my mom but he also knows I knows how nutty she could be. I wanted to be able to explain to her why I am doing this. It's not longer about looks. My body completely feels horribly sick. Although I didn't get the chance I feel that would have helped. Hoping she will let it sink in. At the end of the day I won't let anyone talk me out of it but it should would be a lot easier to have heard her say "I'm glad you are doing this"

I like the ones from Forever 21+ I get size 14-16 depends if they stretch. I feel comfortable in them. I don't think I look bad either ( no one has said anything at least lol)

Lmao!! I have debated on wether to post about it all week!!! I hope it goes away!!! I hate the jiggle!!!

Oh goodness I'm glad I'm not the only one paranoid like this. That would drive me nuts!!! What if u elongate some of your previous answers so they spill over to that page. Just a thought.

I have UHC choice plus.... Did you all have to do ALL the requirements listed online? Who did you see for the "excersice therapist"? I'm still trying to figure out what that is. It also says a minimum of 3 months to see them but 6 month supervised diet

I spoke to my pastor about this same thing. My husbands first concerns were the risks of the surgery but then the "jokes" came out about me leaving him. My pastor suggested to reassure him of my love. But also said something that opened my eyes. "This is taking him out of his comfort zone" basically my pastor explained that although this is not how he met me, he hasn't had to "worry" about other men or me leaving him for a long time. He knows I'm there and doesn't have to struggle. We have a healthy marriage with issues Like any other. But my pastor said maybe this will be a good thing maybe the romance will come back!!! Like being teens all over again!! But we can't just sit back and let them do the work. If we are going to have a new body then we better use it to make sure they know we aren't going anywhere!!

Yay!!! Congrats! And best of luck to you!

I thought I was just being picky... But after all reading all this I wonder... My NUT is very nice and easy going. I have seen her 2 times so far first time was the consultation and second time was called "initial start"... I honestly was not aware that I was suppose to be on a diet until 2 days ago she asked me how I was doing with my diet. All I got from her that day was a packet of post op eating suggestion. I see her again on the eight I plan on asking her to clear it up for me then

Yay good luck!!!

So UMR is asking for 3 years of being morbidly obese.... Has anyone had this and how do you submit that history to them?

Was the release form just so your surgeon could obtain the info?

I hope my surgeons office will handle it all lol

Omg that would be so much more nerve wrecking for me!!! Hang in there also!! I'm here if you ever need support

So I have to do the 6 month supervised diet. And my next appointment is until the 8 of August. Once a month after that. For those of you who have gone through the six months (or longer) are you still as excited by the time surgery comes around?

Did you get discourage at any point? Did it go by quick for you? I'm just wondering. Maybe the first couple months are slow but the time is here before you know it! I must admit thought reading all of this and getting more involved has helped

Omg you are almost there!! Congrats! Let me know how it goes!

Thank you ladies for all your kind words!!!

Thanks cindymg!!! I know this is the right thing for me and I'm sure I will never regret it. Being on this site has helped a ton!! Seeing all the success stories is amazing!

That's my plan. To take these months to prepare my self mentally and physically. My niece is a nutrition freak and as soon as I told her about my surgery today she went ahead and typed up a full page on suggestions and even made a shopping list for me!! That was so encouraging. I want to be able to keep this excitement though out!

Insurance is what I'm also worried about. I'm concerned they will come in an crush that bubble. I mean surgery is expected February 10 and it just feels oh so far away that I feel I'll get over it by then ( I get over things quick lol) it has been about a week since my first appointment and I already started getting these thoughts of oh maybe I shouldn't but I also can't wait for my next appointment. I don't want to get discourage bc when I see my high school pics I want to be that person again but I guess it's just me being me.

When is your surgery?

Well I'm here if you ever need local support!

I'm also in OC who's your doctor?
