My psych compared the l"ast meals" to break up sex. It made me lol

Yay another person in the 20ish range! Congrats on your decision!

Omg! We have the same date!

Today is my last day of "real" food before diet. Went and got my last blizzard from dairy queen.

Mine is in 15! Cant wait! !

Insurance called today! And I am approved

Soy milk. No acidic food. Tums. And alergy meds.

Okay so after 10 and a half months I finally have my surgery date, and it's April 25th. I've been waiting 10.5 months and I feel like these next three weeks are taking forever! It's like time went flying by and now it's hit a brick wall and I could have sworn the clock was turning back. What did you all do to kill the time?

I had my first appointment june 17. It has been a long road.

I chose RNY because I have GERD and my surgeon and a lot of research showed that GERD plus VSG was a formula for esophagus cancer. And RNY ultimately cures GERD

I have (now) well controlled Bipolar and anxiety/depression disorders. When I first went through the psych evaluation, I was not passed because I was not in a good mental state at the time. My psych based my approval over a 165 question, t/f test. The first time around I answered pessimistically, and was not able to proceed until I had 6 months of therapy and my illness was under control. I had my second eval last month and passed with flying colors. Just go in with a positive mentality and you will be fine.

Did he say if you could do anything? When my psych failed me for my exam(for similar reasons), they required me to have 6 months of regular counselling, A session a week. And then I could be re-evaluated by the WLS psych. Call your surgeon/insurance/etc to see if there was anything you can do. Even try a psych in a neighboring city/town that approves WLS.

Three weeks and six days!

I plan on getting a phoenix emerging from embers at one year. The phoenix is the ultimate sign of rebirth

I GOT MY DATE TODAY! April 25th, I'm so excited, It's been 10 months and I finally have a date!

I have been saying that I am going through a life style change

Sugarfree popcicles and Jello And I chewed the hell out of some gum.

I have dryness like that now. I have been strughling with it for months before I found my solution. I use aveeno extra moisture lotion. Right after i take a shower I wet my face with cool Water and then put a little bit of the lotion to the dry area. mixing it with the cool water helps my skin absorb the lotion.

Reasons why I chose RNY and not the Sleeve. 1. Higher Weight loss with RNY, of course. 2. Failure rate of Sleeve is much higher, and also has a few more complications that end up being converted to RNY 3. And the final deciding factor was my acid reflux, My surgeon said that it would get much worse with the sleeve, but not with bypass.

I have been on depo for two years. My lady doctor said that there shouldnt be any issues after surgery. There was some weight gain, but this was also when I wasnt conserned and was eating everything but the kitchen sink. But I love the depo. Its conveniant, not a daily thing and I hated the idea of inplant

I got approved! Just got home from seeing the psych, And I'm sane! Yay! Now I'm just waiting for her to contact the surgeon and I'll be able to get my date! I'm so excited.

College station here.

Previous un resolved mental history, failed the sucess questionnaire. I am the only one I know of who has failed. You will be fine.
