My surgeon is shooting for next month provided we get all the testing results back soon. I'm so excited but scared. I keep thinking its not gonna happen because I want and need it so bad. The cardio is the only thing I have doubts about tho. Over the last couple months a couple times a day I find myself gasping for air. It ably last two seconds. I have also gained an additional 20 lbs in the last two months and have been major stressed because I lost my job (also two months ago). I think it's from my weight, high Bp, etc. I was told about 10 yrs ago to stop taking diet pills because of something with my heart.... Forgot because it was soooo long ago. But I remember it was something minor. Most docs are against diet pills tho. I think if something was wrong with my heart I'd know it. I feel fine besides the weight gain, back pain, and headaches from high Bp lol.

Wow!!! Thank u for telling me ur story. That made me feel much better. You have truly taken away some of my stress and given me hope. 

I actually have to do the treadmill test and it last for 2 hours ( sad face ). I'm going to try to stay positive. Thx

Gm. Did u ever get an answer?

I can't wait to get to that point. It seems like forever. I meet with the surgeon on 23rd.

Idk maybe it's the hospital it sucks tho.

Woohoo

Sinai and you?

Hi my name is Melanie and I live in balto also. I am just starting the process. I go to the info seminar today. My appt with the dr is on the 23rd. I have only done my sleep study and letter from pcp I'm hoping I can use my last 6 months at the phentermine doc as my 6 months weight program. Are u on Facebook? I am pinkyisfabulosity. Please send me a friend req.

That makes sense. I can't wait to get to that liq part, because it'll mean I'm getting close to getting my health back. I am going thru the 6 month weight loss stuff ugh! I just want this is be over. Did u have to do the 6 month weight documentation also? It's a waste for me. I've been chubby all my life

Omg not looking forward to that. I am calling around to some of the weight loss places to see is I have a 3 or 6 month consecutive weigh in with them to knock off some of the time. I am so eager to have my surgery. I can't see myself like this for another 6 mos ( sad face )

Hi there, I'm just starting the process. It seems the liquid diet is the nornal thing now. Why do they want us to do this? My appt is on the 23rd, but I have lots of questions now. 
