my 600 pound life-pennys story
diane1 replied to katt1584's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I just watched it and found it so nauseating and disturbing! I think they should have brought in a psychiatrist for her. I can't believe she lost nothing! It's terrifying to see how mental this is. I have had several 400lb.+ over weight people in my family and it seems like each of them have had an enabler like her husband. This episode really scared me. -
I was wondering for all the people who have made it to their goal, how much did you lose before surgery?

I am with you April. 3a.m seems like my time every night to wake up and think about everything. Is this the right decision? Will I be happy with the way I look after I lose all my weight? What if I am I'm the percentage that things don't go well? Is this being too selfish considering I still have for children home that depend on me? I wish I could just turn my brain off for a while.

Chicago burbs here too. I'm going through UIC in Chicago.

I have a possible 1-2 week pre-op liquid diet. I am sure I will lose weight on that. I am absolutely terrified of that diet. Everyone I know who had to do it said it was the worst experience ever. I don't know if I can handle not chewing anything for a month and a half! I guess where there is a will there is a way.

My surgeon does not allow us to gain not even one pound. I've been struggling with losing, just losing a pound here or there before with ins. I've been having food funerals too. I was just curious if this mind set will have an effect on my results after surgery.

My last appointment with my nut and surgeon are on the February 7th. I am really hoping for a February date! I will have done my psych and 6 months of supervised diet on that day. Which is all my insurance requirements. I wonder if they are sending me for any more testing. Are there any other required tests for surgery?

Did you get your first appointment with the nutritionalist yet? Mine is for September 23rd. Everything seems like it is taking so long. I hope it speeds up at some point.

I just started the process at UIC. I will have my first appointment with Dr. Elli on August 23rd.

Hi, I am new to this site. I have my first appointment with Dr. Elli at UIC on August 23rd. I have the medical card and I'm just wondering how long this process will take? It took me a month to go to the informational class and then another month to see the doctor for the first time. I am hoping not to have to wait another 6 months on top of all of this. Any info would be greatly appreciated. I live in Shorewood about an hour from Chicago.
