Thats great thanks for sharing .

My appointment consisted of questions by the psych as well as true and false questions they are looking to see if you can handle the surgery , the changes that may come with the surgery as well as your support system and how you would handle everyday life. Just be honest and be yourself.

That's great news congrats isn't it nice how little things make us so happy.

Hi newbie congrats on your choice to be healthy, this is going to be an exciting time for you, I had to do. 6 month weight management and I will be meeting with the surgeon on Wednesday to get a date, this is a great forum to learn, share, vent, and get ideas .I look forward to following your journal.

Lol

You look great keep up the great work, personally I would stay at your current size and continue to exercise .

It's a insurance thing that's required depending on your insurance .

Congrats on the new healthier you I cant wait to join you I am glad that your surgery went well and your doing great. keep us posted.

LOL that is so sweet congrats on your weight lost and progress, keep up the great job and pretty soon they will be sliding off of you.

Thanks for sharing I have not tried this nor heard of this but I will look for them the next time I am out at the grocery store.

Tholland congrats on your pending surgery , I will get my surgery date next Wednesday and I am praying that I get a quick approval like you as well, I was informed by my insurance company that there turn around is 48 hours so here is keeping my toes as well as fingers cross, I look forward to reading your progress.

Thanks for sharing and you have the right attitude do not let this delayment set you back , take what ever test you have to and resubmit and get on with your new life.

I have not had my surgery yet but your fears are real, but I would focus on the procedure itself and take one day at a time because your eating habbits as well as taste will changed. From what I have read and research it will be impossible for you to eat like you are now. Good luck.

Our coordinator informed us that if we gain any additional weight that out surgery will be cancel, especially if you gain more than your start weight they will cancel your surgery and they have. I would focus on making good food choices and ensuring that you do not gain more than your original weigh in amount. Because all doctors are different and have different requirements, you never know. I do know that I was given a specific amount of weight that they wanted me to loose from day one which was 20 pounds, because they want to see if you are willing to make the changes and commitment to this lifestyle change. I ensure that I do not go over my allowed calories and find my self asking when I do eat am I hungry and counting calories on everything. I also have found out with me drinking close to 64 ounces of water everyday yo are not quite as hungry because you are filled up on liquids.

Congrats to everyone I should have my date on March 5 and I should be having my surgery by the third week of March fingers cross. I am so glad that tomorrow is March 1st because i have finished my 6 month weight management requirement in Jan of this year and has just been waiting on the surgeon to become available .

Curvy cakes you are so right he was being an ass, perhaps he is jealousy that once she loose the weight she will loose him and find a hero and drop the zero.

Amylif lol as soon as my husband heard that he said bypass for you, also he doesn't like the fact that if you have the sleeve and acid reflex get bad then they have to go back in to do the bypass. where are you in the process ?
